A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Physicochemical properties, fermentative profile, microbiological quality, and pathogen contamination of baled silage during long‐term storage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 12, Page 7454-7463, September 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Baled silage is expanding in Mediterranean regions due to climate change and demand for high‐quality forage; therefore, evaluating the effects of long‐term storage on microbiological and fermentative quality is essential. RESULTS In this study, 115 baled silages were sampled from different farms at 30, 60, 90, 180, and 270 days ...

Comparative Genome Analysis of Lactococcus lactis Indicates Niche Adaptation and Resolves Genotype/Phenotype Disparity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Lactococcus lactis is one of the most important micro-organisms in the dairy industry for the fermentation of cheese and buttermilk. Besides the conversion of lactose to lactate it is responsible for product properties such as flavor and texture, which ...

Recent and Promising Strategies for Robust, Sustainable, and Cost‐Friendly Production of Yogurt With Superior Quality

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Yogurt is one of the most technologically mature fermented dairy products on the market, traditionally prepared using the two lactic acid bacteria (LAB) Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus. Global demand for yogurt continues to rise, driven by consumer interest in healthy, high‐protein diets with as few ...

Application of CFS‐Loaded CMC/GEL Spray Coating for the Small Fruit Blueberries Preservation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Schematic illustration showing the fabrication of the CFS‐loaded CMC/GEL composite spray coating and its application in the blueberry preservation. The preservation experiment indicated that the blueberries sprayed with 100% CFS/CMC/GEL exhibited a lower decay rate, reduced weight loss, and lower malondialdehyde (MDA) level compared with the control ...

Virtual Screening of Bacteriocins From Lactic Acid Bacteria Against Monkeypox DNA Polymerase: Sakacin P and Mundticin KS Emerge as Promising Candidates

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study employs an in silico virtual screening workflow to evaluate lactic acid bacteria (LAB)‐derived bacteriocins as potential inhibitors of the monkeypox virus DNA polymerase (MPDP). Protein‐peptide docking simulations using the HADDOCK platform revealed that Sakacin P and Mundticin KS possess the highest binding affinities for the MPDP target ...

Ultrafiltration of Milk: Effect on Lactoferrin, Lysozyme, and Lactoperoxidase Activity During Cheddar Cheese Ripening

Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2026.
The retention of lactoferrin lactoperoxidase, and lysozyme in milk concentrated by ultrafiltration (UF) before cheesemaking and on cheese properties was studied. Cheese made with concentrated milk retained 17% more LF than the control. No effect on cheese properties was observed. UF could be an additional tool to enhance cheese bioactivity.

Food Safety and Nutritional Aspects of Plant‐Based Dairy and Meat Alternatives: A Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Plant‐based dairy and meat alternatives (PBDA and PBMA) offer sustainability benefits but also introduce chemical and microbiological hazards to the diet. Key concerns include emerging mycotoxins, heavy metals, process contaminants, and heat‐resistant spore‐forming bacteria.
