Effects of deficit irrigation and biostimulants on melon productivity and quality in semi‐arid conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 11, Page 6348-6364, 30 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Water scarcity and soil salinization are major constraints to irrigated agriculture in semi‐arid regions, affecting crop productivity and fruit quality. Combining deficit irrigation with biostimulant application has emerged as a promising strategy to improve water use efficiency and plant stress tolerance.

Preharvest application of antagonistic yeasts for the control of fungal pathogens in organic peach and plum orchards

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5881-5889, 15 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The control of fungal diseases in organic fruit production remains a major challenge due to the limited availability of authorized phytosanitary tools. This study evaluates the efficacy of two antagonistic yeasts – Metschnikowia pulcherrima L672 and Hanseniaspora uvarum L793 – in organic peach ( Prunus persica ) and plum ( Prunus ...

Gene expression and metabolic variability in fungus‐resistant PIWI (‘Pilzwiderstandsfähig’) grape cultivars

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5841-5850, 15 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Fungus‐resistant PIWI (Pilzwiderstandsfähig) grape cultivars are promising for reducing pesticide inputs in viticulture, but their enological potential is still poorly characterized. We performed a pilot, single‐vintage study integrating berry gene expression and phenolic composition in five Italian red PIWI cultivars (Cabernet ...

Microbial Oxidative Stress in Food Fermentations: A Comprehensive Review

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Oxidative stress has a dual role in food fermentations: low ROS supports adaptive signaling, whereas excessive ROS causes cellular damage and process inhibition. Managing redox state as a controllable process variable can improve fermentation robustness and final food quality.

Effects of the HDAC6/8 Inhibitor MC1568, Alone and in Combination With Fluconazole, in Non‐Albicans Candida Species Infections

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
This study explores new antifungal strategies to combat non‐albicans Candida species. We tested clinically approved HDAC inhibitors—Vorinostat, Romidepsin, Tucidinostat—and the HDAC6/8‐selective MC1568, alone and with Fluconazole. The Fluconazole/MC1568 combination significantly enhanced antifungal activity and reduced biofilm formation.

Water Soluble‐Nitrogenous Secondary Metabolites From Talaromyces annesophieae MD2 Exhibit Anti‐Bacterial, Anti‐Cancer, Anti‐Oxidant, and Cytoprotective Activities

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
The dichloromethane extract (DCM‐E) was prepared from the culture supernatant of the fungus Talaromyces annesophieae MD2 was fractionated using chromatographic techniques. The subfraction 3 was determined to contain four major nitrogenous compounds and exhibit antibacterial, anticancer, antioxidant, and cytoprotective activities.

Linking Biocrust Architecture and Dispersal: Reproductive Ecology of Lichens of the Grit Crust in the Coastal Atacama Desert

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
Microscopic analysis of Atacama Desert grit crust revealed a sequential assembly process in which airborne fungal spores of the Caliciaceae colonise quartz particles before encountering compatible Trebouxia photobionts. Free‐living algal cells on grit surfaces function as environmental reservoirs for symbiosis initiation, while multiple wind‐driven ...

Air embolism secondary to suspected lymphatic tissue disruption with severe exercise‐induced pulmonary haemorrhage

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 38, Issue 8, Page e501-e508, August 2026.
Summary Air embolism is rare in horses and typically associated with complications following intravenous catheterisation or other medical procedures. Exercise‐induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) is common in racehorses but not usually associated with air embolism. This report describes a case of air embolism in a 4‐year‐old Thoroughbred with EIPH. The

DcH3.3 and DcNAC1 Regulate the Expression of UGT73A93 Involved in the Changes in Flower Colour and Fungal Resistance in Carnation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4863-4877, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) contains abundant flavonoid glycosides (FGs), which are important natural functional and colour components. However, there are few reports on the modification of UDP‐glycosyltransferases (UGTs) in relation to flavonoids in carnation.
