Beyond a dual role: how Purpureocillium lilacinum reprograms citrus metabolism for integrated biocontrol and growth promotion

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.

Phytochemical composition and cultivar‐dependent variation in colored lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and their α‐amylase inhibitory activity

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study investigated cultivar‐dependent variation in the phytochemical composition of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) profiling and high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) quantification, with a focus on enzyme inhibitory activity. RESULTS Significant differences were

Polymeric nano‐delivery of gibberellic acid enhances fruit quality, yield and pedicel strength in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Nanoparticulate systems offer an effective strategy for the targeted delivery of agrochemicals and for enhancing their efficacy. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize gibberellic acid (GA3)‐loaded poly(d,l‐lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) nanoparticles (PLGA NPs) and to evaluate the effects of their application on the flower ...

Plasma‐activated water processing and storage time impacts pea microgreens yield and quality

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plasma‐activated water (PAW) is emerging as a sustainable input capable of enhancing crop yield and quality while reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizers. However, how PAW chemistry evolves during storage and how these dynamics translate into crop growth and quality remain poorly understood.

Coupling of Physical Protection and Molecular Composition Drives Carbon Sequestration Divergence in Soils Planted With Different Tea Varieties

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tea plantations represent significant carbon (C) sinks in agricultural landscapes, yet how variety‐specific organic inputs are associated with the molecular composition and stability of soil organic carbon (SOC) within aggregate hierarchies remains unclear.

Manure Composting as a Strategy to Mitigate Antibiotic Resistance Dissemination in Agricultural Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Livestock manure is a valuable agricultural resource but may introduce antibiotic residues and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) into the environment. This review critically evaluates the fate of antibiotics and ARGs during manure composting and identifies the principal factors controlling their attenuation.

Onboarding and Agency: Responding to Episodic Loneliness in Immersive Services

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Loneliness is a growing concern in long‐duration immersive services, where consumers not only transition into the service but also experience multiple identity transitions and life events while in the service. We argue that loneliness in these settings emerges not only as a chronic experience from a lack of social opportunities, but also ...
