Q&A: Cellular near death experiences-what is anastasis? [PDF]

, 2017
Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death that is carried out by proteolytic enzymes called caspases. Executioner caspase activity causes cells to shrink, bleb, and disintegrate into apoptotic bodies and has been considered a point of no return for ...

High‐throughput transcriptome mining and in silico screening reveal saccharide feeding stimulants for Cydia pomonella larvae

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
We identified and characterized the gustatory and ionotropic receptors of Cydia pomonella using transcriptomics and in silico approaches, linking candidate sugar receptors to larval feeding attraction. Functional assays and behavioral tests highlighted isoquercitrin as a key feeding stimulant, providing a foundation for olfactory‐ and taste‐based pest ...

Uncovering the Key Factors Influencing Phytochemical and Phytopharmacological Properties During Medicinal Plant Processing

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
From farm to pharma, this review details the engineering of quality in medicinal plants through a science‐driven approach: it first elucidates how genetic and environmental factors inscribe the plant's phytochemical and phytopharmacological profile before harvest, and then dissects the postharvest techniques and technologies—chemical and thermal pre ...

Gourds and squashes (Cucurbita spp.) adapted to megafaunal extinction and ecological anachronism through domestication. [PDF]

, 2015
The genus Cucurbita (squashes, pumpkins, gourds) contains numerous domesticated lineages with ancient New World origins. It was broadly distributed in the past but has declined to the point that several of the crops' progenitor species are scarce or ...

Multi‐Omics Evidence Linking Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction Intervention to Atherosclerosis Mitigation and Gut Microbiota–Bile Acid Signatures in ApoE−/− Mice

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction (GXBD) promotes atherosclerotic plaque stabilization via the “gut microbiota—bile acid—host” axis. GXBD treatment remodels the gut microbiota, promoting the production of secondary bile acids (11‐LCA and 23‐DCA).

Variation in Herbivory-induced Volatiles Among Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Varieties has Consequences for the Attraction of Carnivorous Natural Enemies [PDF]

, 2011
In response to herbivory by arthropods, plants emit herbivory-induced volatiles that attract carnivorous enemies of the inducing herbivores. Here, we compared the attractiveness of eight cucumber varieties (Cucumis sativus L.) to Phytoseiulus persimilis ...
