Pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects of Physalis angulata leaf extract on retinoblastoma cells [PDF]
AIM: To investigate the effect of Physalis angulata leaf extract on apoptotic and proliferation of retinoblastoma cells. Despite several previous studies evidencing the anti-cancer potential of Physalis angulata; however, certain study that proves its ...

Urban agriculture depends on insect pollination, but knowledge gaps persist due to difficulties accessing diverse growing spaces. We developed a citizen science approach for monitoring insect visits to crops and compared grower‐collected data to that of a trained researcher while also gathering participant feedback.

Modulating the strigolactone pathway to optimize tomato shoot branching for vertical farming
Optimizing tomato architecture via CRISPR–Cas9 editing of strigolactone–related genes revealed that weak alleles can balance axillary shoot growth, yield, and ripening. Strong mutants reduced yield due to source—sink imbalance, but a weak allele maintained productivity, highlighting its potential for space–efficient cultivation systems.

Risky foraging by Ring-billed Gulls (Larus delawarensis)
Organisms escape consumers using a variety of behaviors and structural or physiological defenses (e.g., toxins and irritants). Portuguese men o’ war (Physalia physalis) rely on nematocysts to immobilize or kill their prey, chiefly fish, but the ...

Differential strengths of selection on S-RNases from
Background The S-RNases of the Solanaceae are highly polymorphic self-incompatibility (S-) alleles subject to strong balancing selection. Relatively recent diversification of S-alleles has occurred in the genus Physalis following a historical restriction

NPK Fertilization at Planting for Physalis (Physalis peruviana L.)
Physalis peruviana L. (Solanaceae) is an Andean shrub species that produces sugary fruits.The cultivation of this species is recent, thus, aspects related to soil fertilization for it still need to bestudied. The objective of this work was to define the rates of NPK fertilizer applied at planting thatmeet the requirements of physalis crops.

New strategies of traceability for determining the geographical origin of foodstuffs: Creation biological bar-code by (PCR-DGGE) [PDF]
The determination of geographical origin is a demand of the traceability system of import-export foodstuff. One hypothesis of tracing the source of a product is by analyzing in a global way the microbial communities of the food and links statistically ...
