Growth of pineapple plantlets during acclimatisation can be monitored through automated image analysis of the canopy

The EuroBiotech Journal, 2020
Pineapple is an economically important tropical fruit crop, but the lack of adequate planting material limits its productivity. A range of micropropagation protocols has been developed over the years to address this shortfall.

Bioconversion and characterization of watermelon rind waste‐based microcrystalline cellulose: A green alternative to synthetic reinforcements

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...

Sustainable Hybrid Natural Fiber Composites: Influence of Stacking Sequence on Impact Performance and Energy Dissipation

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The low‐velocity impact response of jute, linen, and hemp composites is examined to assess hybridization effects. The study provides insight into the mechanisms governing impact resistance in natural fiber‐reinforced composite systems, highlighting their potential as environmentally benign materials.

Glutamine enhances competence for organogenesis in pineapple leaves cultivated in vitro

Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2005
Leaf bases of pineapple cultured on a shoot induction medium (SIM) produced protuberances followed by shoot-buds via direct organogenesis at a frequency of 46 %. When 8 mM glutamine (gln) was a supplement to SIM (SIM8gln), the regeneration rate increased to 70 %, thus suggesting that 8mM gln increased explant competence for organogenesis. Besides this,

Engineering compact Physalis peruviana (goldenberry) to promote its potential as a global crop

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) produces sweet, nutritionally rich berries, yet like many minor crops, is cultivated in limited geographical regions and has not been a focus of breeding programs for trait enhancement. Leveraging knowledge of plant architecture‐related traits from related species, we used CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing to generate a
