Black flesh disorder in mango: a chilling injury symptom increased by early harvest and low storage temperature and reduced by 1‐methylcyclopropene

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 11, Page 6508-6522, 30 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Black flesh (BF) is an internal disorder in mango, characterized by the development of dark brown to black pigmentation in the inner mesocarp tissue during storage or transport. This study investigated the effects of harvest maturity, low storage or low transport temperatures, and 1‐methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) on mango fruit ...

Liebig Review: Essential and Beneficial Elements in the Regulation of Cadmium Uptake and Tolerance in Crop Plants

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 429-444, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd2+) contamination in agricultural soils has been reported to pose risks to crop productivity, food safety, and human health. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the mechanisms by which essential (S, Zn, Fe, Mg, K, Ca) and beneficial (Si, Se, rare earth elements) elements mitigate Cd2+ toxicity in plants.

Mechanism for the Effect of High Pressure Processing at Different Temperatures Combined with Microenvironment on Citrus Pectin Methylesterase and Its Inhibitor [PDF]

Shipin Kexue
To address the problem that residual pectin methylesterase (PME) can cause turbidity loss and increased microbial safety risks in orange juice during high pressure processing (HPP), this study focused on the regulatory mechanism of HPP at different ...

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 ...

The interaction between CaDUF642.01 and CaPME2 influences stem strength in Capsicum annuum L.

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY Stem strength is a key agronomic trait that influences planting adaptability and mechanical harvesting efficiency. Pepper is the most widely cultivated vegetable crop in China, and full mechanization of its production is crucial for enhancing quality and productivity. In the preliminary stage of this study, transcriptomic analysis was performed

Systemic infection of tobacco mosaic virus is limited by upward transport and phloem unloading without coat protein

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY Coat protein (CP) is widely viewed as essential for systemic infection of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), yet the mechanistic basis of this requirement remains incompletely resolved. In this study, we show that TMV can still achieve long‐distance vascular transport in the absence of CP, but systemic infection becomes intermittent because the ...

Tissue specific localization of pectin-Ca²⁺ cross-linkages and pectin methyl-esterification during fruit ripening in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Fruit ripening is one of the developmental processes accompanying seed development. The tomato is a well-known model for studying fruit ripening and development, and the disassembly of primary cell walls and the middle lamella, such as through pectin de ...

Antioxidants in Plant‐Based Food Matrices: From Structure–Activity and Degradation Kinetics to Formulation Design

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant‐based antioxidants are widely incorporated into foods to retard oxidative deterioration and to deliver health‐related benefits. Yet, their in‐product and in vivo performance frequently diverges from predictions based on solution‐phase chemical assays, because matrix interactions, processing history, and host metabolism reshape both ...
