New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.Flower production is a key determinant of yield in many fruit crops, including kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa). Floral development is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, with biotic stressors such as pathogens also playing a role in reproductive success.

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

Subjective and Objective Pericarp Colour Measurement in Block‐Red Kiwifruit
New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, -Not available-.Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) genotypes include fruit with green, yellow, or red flesh. Red‐fleshed kiwifruit may be either starburst, with a red inner pericarp, or block red, in which both inner and outer pericarp are red. In the research reported here, the flesh colour of two block‐red A. chinensis var. chinensis genotypes has been evaluated during

Kiwifruit Allergy in Children: Characterization of Main Allergens and Patterns of Recognition
Children, 2015 Kiwifruit allergy has been described mostly in the adult population, but immunoglobulin (Ig)E-mediated allergic reactions to kiwifruit appear to be occurring more frequently in children. To date, 13 allergens from kiwifruit have been identified.

New 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.

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.Safflower is susceptible to fungal infection, while research on its disease‐resistant genes remains scarce. CtTLP13, which is localised in safflower EVs, was identified by GWAS and multi‐omics analyses. Its antifungal activity was validated through both in vivo and in vitro assays, and safflower EVs themselves exhibit antifungal capacity.

Sex‐specific ethylene responses drive floral sexual plasticity in Cannabis sativa
The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 3, February 2026.SUMMARY Cannabis sativa L. exhibits pronounced sexual plasticity in which both XX and XY plants can undergo floral phenotypic sex reversal in response to ethylene modulation, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly defined. Here, we present the most extensive multi‐omic analysis of ethylene‐induced sex change in C.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 1, Page 55-72, 15 January 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND The green bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), of the ‘Lamuyo’ type, is a highly valued vegetable owing to its excellent organoleptic and nutritional properties. However, these properties are subject to deterioration during postharvest storage, which in turn limits the shelf‐life of the pepper fruit.
