Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...

Reactive Oxygen Species‐Induced Damage in Cryopreserved Bovine Sperm: Mitigation Strategies

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Cryopreservation of bovine sperm results in overproduction of ROS due to osmotic pressure variations, ice crystals and dysfunction of mitochondria, which causes lipid peroxidation, fragmentation of DNA, protein damage and ultimately decline of post‐thaw sperm quality.
