Variability in apple fruit quality across management systems and latitudinal climate gradients
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 212-230, January 2026.As the world transitions to more sustainable agricultural practices to combat environmental damage, it is important to investigate how different management systems shape the quality and nutrition of our crops. We analyzed apples from paired organic and conventional sites across the western United States.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Apple fruit growth is the result of several factors: inherent demand (relative sink strength) of the fruit (defined by the demands for cell division and expansion growth, etc.), carbon assimilation by the source leaves (source strength), and the ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 421-432, January 2026.Essential oils (EOs) extracted from eight culinary herbs and spices were evaluated via direct‐contact bioassays, both in vitro and in vivo, against three species of phytopathogenic fungi and one obligatory biotrophic fungus. Phenylpropanoid‐rich EOs presented the strongest antifungal activity in both bioassays with the phytopathogenic and the obligate ...

Woody perennial polycultures and their influence on soil organic carbon
Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Woody perennial polycultures (WPPs) can contribute to sequestration of soil organic carbon (SOC). We studied how WPP diversity and density, and landscape features influence SOC change. We quantified SOC, particulate organic matter‐carbon and ‐nitrogen (POM‐C and POM‐N), potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN), and inherent properties in soil ...

Differences in apple fruit shape are independent of fruit size
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.Abstract Fruit quality is crucial in breeding new apple varieties. Before tasting, consumers assess freshness and flavor based on the physical appearance of fruit. Understanding how fruit quality traits such as shape and size vary across diverse apples [Malus domestica (Suckow) Borkh.] provides a foundation for future breeding efforts.

MicroRNA156‐SPL13B Module Induces Parthenocarpy Through the Gibberellin Pathway
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 12, Page 5536-5549, December 2025.ABSTRACT Fruit development typically follows pollination and fertilisation. However, parthenocarpy, the formation of seedless fruits, represents an alternative pathway. The fruit that grows from the ovary under unpollinated and/or unfertilised conditions is termed parthenocarpic.
