Seed coat fragments, a major source of cotton yarn imperfections [PDF]
, 1995 A method to differentiate cultivars depending on their SCFcontents on yarn was developped in CIRAD CA using a GGP Uster Eveness Tester. Results indicate a high SCF heritability,but fabrication of yam is too costly to be used for breeding programs.

Assessing risks and benefits of floral supplements in conservation biological control [PDF]
, 2010 The use of flowering field margins is often proposed as a method to support biological control in agro-ecosystems. In addition to beneficial insects, many herbivores depend on floral food as well.

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.During early storage, TFs from MEred/MEbrown modules maintain fruit quality by regulating sucrose and cell wall genes. Their subsequent downregulation reduces sweetness and firmness. Meanwhile, MEturquoise module TFs activate aroma genes, initially promoting esters but eventually leading to off‐flavors. ABSTRACT “Mingzhu No.

Potential Drivers of Successful Biocontrol: A Perspective on Parasitoids
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.Parasitoids are central to classical biological control, yet predicting their long‐term effectiveness post release remains challenging. In Aotearoa New Zealand, three Microctonus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) species have been used against pest weevils, but key aspects of their biology remain poorly understood.

Effect of Honeydew Secreted by Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on Fungal Growth
Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and TechnologyHoneydew is a sugar-rich, sticky substance secreted by many plant-feeding insect species from the order of Hemiptera and Lepidoptera. Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae), on the other hand, feed on nitrogen-poor, carbohydrate-rich phloem sap and excrete excess

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 29-39, March 2026.Colour‐coded perlites were treated with specific fatty acids or mono‐, di‐ or triglycerides as perlite pickup cues for laboratory and field colonies of western carpenter ants. In laboratory and field experiments, ant colonies were offered multiple choices of these colour‐coded lipid‐treated perlites for pickup and transport to the nest.
