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

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,

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 ...
