On the Origins of Toughness in Corymbia calophylla (Marri Tree) Nuts

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We uncover the natural toughening mechanisms of the marri nut, including fiber pullout, crack deflection, and a viscoelastic matrix, which enable exceptional energy absorption and ductility comparable to Teflon, with an elastic modulus similar to acrylic.

Pollination and Fruit Set in the Yellow Passion Fruit [PDF]

open access: yes, 1959
The development on the use of the yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis forma flavicarpa Degener) for beverage, ice cream, sherbet, pastries, and other confectionaries has resulted in increased plantings of this crop in Hawaii.

Embedded CRISPRi Enhances Gene‐Silencing Efficiency in Drosophila

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Current CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) technology in Drosophila has limited efficiency. This study introduces the emCRISPRi platform, which significantly enhances transcriptional silencing efficacy by embedding inhibitory domains within the dCas9 architecture.

Alternating High‐Fat and Polysaccharide Diets Modulates Gut Phage‐Bacterial Interplay

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals how alternating high‐fat and polysaccharide diets reshape the human gut virome and enhance phage‐bacteria interactions. Using large‐scale metagenomic meta‐analysis and a time‐resolved mouse model, the authors show that diets strongly modulate phage abundance, lifestyle, and gene exchange, offering new insights into nutrition‐guided ...

METAMITRON REPLACING CARBARYL IN POST BLOOM THINNING OF APPLE TREES

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Fruticultura
Carbaryl or the mixture of carbaryl with NAA (naphthalene acetic acid) or BA (benzyladenine) are the post-bloom chemical thinners most widely used in apple thinning in Brazil.

Wind Speed Affects Pollination Success in Blackberries

open access: yesSociobiology, 2018
Pollination of wild plants and agricultural crops is a vitally important ecosystem service. Many landscape and environmental factors influence the pollination success of crops, including distance from natural habitat, wind speed, and solar radiation ...

Genome‐Wide Association Study Reveals Insect Genetics and Microbial Symbiont Effects on Susceptibility of Diaphorina citri to the Citrus Greening Pathogen, Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the genetic and microbial factors influencing the susceptibility of Diaphorina citri to the citrus greening pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), employing a microbiome Genome Wide Association Study. The research identifies a key gene encoding an MFS‐type transporter contributing to CLas infectivity and abundance in

THE EFFECT OF NAPHTHENIC ACIDS (NAs) ON THE RESPONSE OF ‘GOLDEN DELICIOUS’ AND ‘FUJI’ APPLE TREES ON CHEMICAL THINNING WITH NAA

open access: yesActa Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2016
NAA (α-naphthylacetic acid) thins apple fruits inconsistently regarding fruit set and weight and may cause small or misshapen fruits occurrence. Considering hormonal activity, surfactant properties and the impact of naphthenic acids (NAs) on the metabo ...

Defoliation and Fruit Set in Guava1

open access: yesHortScience, 1975
Abstract Flower buds of guava (Psidium guajava L.) are invariably borne on newly emerging axillary or terminal vegetative growth. Any cultural manipulation that will induce the development of this growth will ultimately result in fruit set. Defoliation with urea brings about “instantaneous” flowering and subsequent fruit setting.

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

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
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.
