Polyphenols in Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) Seeds: Comparison of Profiles Among Five Cultivars and Evaluation of Anti‐Inflammatory, Analgesic Potentials

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Among the purified polyphenols derived from five cultivars of litchi seeds, the Heiye cultivar contained relatively higher phenolic contents. The litchi seed polyphenols exhibited anti‐inflammatory and analgesic potentials in vitro and in vivo, which were tightly associated with the major compounds including procyanidin A1, procyanidin A2, and ...

Non‐Target Effects of Some Common Agrochemicals on Various Life Stages and Parasitism Behaviour of Trichogrammatoidea cryptophlebiae Nagaraja, 1979 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 942-956, August 2026.
This study assessed the non‐target effects of commonly used agrochemicals on the egg parasitoid Trichogrammatoidea cryptophlebiae, an important biological control agent in South African orchards. Agrochemical impacts varied across life stages, with several insecticides allowing adult survival but significantly reducing parasitism and developmental ...

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2747-2767, August 2026.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

PbrIDD2‐PbrAPX14 Module Functions in the Ethylene‐Mediated Ripening and Senescence Process of Pear Fruit

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4878-4896, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Endogenous H2O2 participated in the ethylene‐dependent ripening and senescence process of horticultural fruit as a secondary messenger; however, the molecular mechanism beneath such a phenomenon has not been fully clarified until recently. By a conjoint analysis of metabolite, enzyme activities, gene expression profiles in AsA‐GSH cycle of ...
