Transcriptomic analysis of fruit stored under cold conditions using controlled atmosphere in Prunus persica cv. ‘Red Pearl’

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Cold storage (CS) can induce a physiological disorder known as chilling injury (CI) in nectarine fruits. The main symptom is mealiness that is perceived as non-juicy fruit by consumers. Postharvest treatments such as controlled atmosphere (CA; a high CO2

Large‐scale phenotyping of physical and antioxidant traits in peach and apricot cultivars

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 6050-6063, 15 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Peach and apricot are valued for their sensory attributes and nutritional value; however large‐scale evaluations of fruit quality and antioxidant‐related traits remain limited. This study aimed to quantify phenotypic diversity and examine relationships between fruit quality and antioxidant traits in 100 peach and 32 apricot ...

Effects of Different Pretreatments With Vacuum Drying on Drying Kinetics, Bioactive Properties and Physicochemical Characterization of Red Beetroot Snacks

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Different pretreatments significantly affected the drying kinetics and quality attributes of vacuum‐dried red beetroot snacks. Microwave pretreatment markedly shortened the drying time and enhanced effective moisture diffusivity, while ultrasound pretreatment preserved the highest betalain content.

Degree of insecticide exposure and access to nectar impact survival of Trissolcus japonicus, a hymenopteran parasitoid, in flowering border strips

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 357-366, August 2026.
We applied three thiamethoxam spray treatments to buckwheat border strips: control (no nearby spray), drift (adjacent peach trees directly sprayed) and direct spray (buckwheat and peaches directly sprayed). Drift‐treated buckwheat received about 1.4% the amount of thiamethoxam as direct‐spray buckwheat. This amount has no lethal effects on parasitoids,

Beneath the Bark: Molecular Determinants of Adaptation and Infection in Bacterial Pathogens of Woody Hosts

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Bacterial pathogens colonise woody hosts by integrating metabolic adaptation, effector‐mediated immune suppression, cell wall remodelling and EPS‐ and toxin‐supported persistence. ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens of woody plants represent a pervasive yet underexplored threat to global agriculture and forestry, causing devastating diseases in fruit trees ...
