Characterization of Air and Ozone Micro‐Nano Bubbles and Their Impacts on Physicochemical Attributes, Total Phenolic Content, and Natural Microbial Load of Fresh “Fan Retief” Guava During Storage

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Chlorine‐based water treatment for fresh produce has diverse limitations including the production of disinfectant‐by‐product residue. Thus, this study characterized and investigated the impact of micro‐nano bubble (MNB) water (air and ozone (O3)) on the quality attributes of guava fruit during storage.

Is Self‐Pollination Sufficient to Maximise Seed Set and Fruit Quality in Kiwifruit Hermaphrodites?

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether supplementary pollination of each of two hermaphrodite kiwifruit selections was likely to produce any significant improvement in seed set or fruit quality, compared with self‐pollination alone. Three main pollination treatments were applied to floral shoots: self‐pollination alone and self‐pollination ...

The Advantaged Salt Inducible Suaeda salsa SsNRT2.5 and Its Promoter Significantly Enhance Nitrate Transport Efficiency and Salt Tolerance in Transgenic Arabidopsis and Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4084-4101, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Efficient nitrogen (N) uptake is critical for crop yield, but soil salinization inhibits plant nitrogen acquisition. In this study, the nitrate (NO3−) transporter gene SsNRT2.5 and its promoter from the halophyte Suaeda salsa was investigated to elucidate the functional role in NO3− transport under salinity and low NO3−–N conditions.
