The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Phytochemical profiles, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of Actinidia polygama and A. arguta fruits and leaves

open access: yesBiosystems Diversity, 2022
Plants of two species of Actinidia genus grown in an adverse steppe climate were examined in terms of secondary metabolites’ accumulation, antioxidant potential, and antimicrobial ability. The aim of the work was to reveal whether the introduced plants A.

Plant‐Derived Exosome‐Like Nanoparticle miRNAs Can Prevent and Treat Colorectal Cancer by Modulating the Gut Microbiota

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Presently, the incidences of colorectal cancer (CRC) are significantly increasing and there is a need for new therapeutics that better treat CRC. The current treatments for CRC, such as surgery, chemotherapeutics, immunotherapies, and radiotherapies, lack specificity and are cytotoxic to cells.

Temporal variations in peridermal skin development between five kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) selections

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 53, Issue 5, Page 3049-3065, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The fruit skin provides a barrier to the developing tissues within. In some fruit, such as the dead‐skinned varieties of kiwifruit, the skin layer develops over time. Observations in kiwifruit orchards suggest that different selectionss have different susceptibility to skin damage caused by common orchard management spray practices.

Agronomic Trait Variations and Ploidy Differentiation of Kiwiberries in Northwest China: Implication for Breeding [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Polyploid plants often have higher biomass and superior crop qualities. Breeders therefore search for crop germplasm with higher ploidy levels; however, whether higher ploidy levels are associated with better performance remains unclear. Actinidia arguta and related species, whose commercialized fruit are referred to as kiwiberries, harbor a series of ...

Genomic Biosurveillance of the Kiwifruit Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae Biovar 3 Reveals Adaptation to Selective Pressures in New Zealand Orchards

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2025.
A hopF1c effector loss variant has emerged in commercial kiwifruit orchards, mediated by the introduction of copper resistance elements into the population. ABSTRACT In the late 2000s, a pandemic of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae biovar 3 (Psa3) devastated kiwifruit orchards growing susceptible, yellow‐fleshed cultivars.

Phytomelatonin: From Intracellular Signaling to Global Horticulture Market

open access: yesJournal of Pineal Research, Volume 76, Issue 5, August 2024.
ABSTRACT Melatonin (N‐acetyl‐5‐methoxytryptamine), a well‐known mammalian hormone, has been having a great relevance in the Plant World in recent years. Many of its physiological actions in plants are leading to possible features of agronomic interest, especially those related to improvements in tolerance to stressors and in the postharvest life of ...
