Knocking Off the Street: The Subversive Writings of Hong Kong's Grassroots Kings

City &Society, Volume 38, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines how two grassroots street artists in Hong Kong, the King of Kowloon (Tsang Tsou‐choi) and the Plumber King (Yim Chiu‐tong), intervene in the city's everyday visual order. Moving beyond celebratory collective memory narratives and easy analogies to graffiti, it frames their works as subversive urban practices that rework ...

Multi‐Induction Strategies in Crops: Mechanisms, Synergistic Effects, and Sustainable Applications for Enhanced Secondary Metabolite Production

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
This review analyzes single/combined abiotic (light, water, nutrients, hormones) and biotic (microbes, yeast) elicitors regulating signaling, gene expression, and metabolism to boost plant secondary metabolites. It highlights synergistic multielicitor strategies for crop quality and functional foods, while critically addressing current limitations and ...

From Green Extraction to Gut Bioaccessibility: Synergistic Potential of Ginkgo biloba, Astragalus membranaceus, and Salvia miltiorrhiza Phytochemicals for Functional Food Applications

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study optimized green extraction of a synergistic tri‐herbal blend of Ginkgo biloba, Astragalus membranaceus, and Salvia miltiorrhiza. The 1:1:2 blend showed the highest TPC synergy, with probe ultrasound giving maximal phenolic recovery. The extract, rich in rosmarinic acid, chlorogenic acid, and catechin, exhibited antioxidant, antimicrobial ...

Grandchild caregiving in Hong Kong and implications for intergenerational relationships

International Journal of Social Welfare, Volume 35, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This study draws on perspectives from social exchange theory and Chinese filial piety to assess the validity of these frameworks in explaining grandchildren's caregiving behaviour. Through in‐depth interviews, data on caregiving experiences were collected from 40 grandchildren who had provided care for disabled or ill grandparents.

Construction and evaluation of Brassica rapa orphan genes overexpression library

Frontiers in Plant Science
Orphan genes (OGs) are crucial for species-specific characteristics and stress responses and are restricted to a specific taxon. However, their functions within particular species are poorly understood.

Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 693-705, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Melatonin Delays Postharvest Senescence through Suppressing the Inhibition of BrERF2/BrERF109 on Flavonoid Biosynthesis in Flowering Chinese Cabbage

, 2023
Flowering Chinese cabbage is prone to withering, yellowing and deterioration after harvest. Melatonin plays a remarkable role in delaying leaf senescence and increasing flavonoid biosynthesis.

BLADE‐ON‐PETIOLE Genes Enable Genetic Bottleneck Mitigation Through Cross‐Species Repurposing of Floral Persistence Traits

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.
This study shows that BLADE‐ON‐PETIOLE (BOP) proteins regulate floral abscission and senescence in tomato by interacting with TFAM1 to form transcriptional condensates controlling the ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA HOMEOBOX GENE 1 (ATH1)‐mediated abscission pathway.

Comparative Analysis of miRNA Expression Profiles between Heat-Tolerant and Heat-Sensitive Genotypes of Flowering Chinese Cabbage Under Heat Stress Using High-Throughput Sequencing

, 2020
Heat stress disturbs cellular homeostasis, thus usually impairs yield of flowering Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. utilis Tsen et Lee).
