Antifungal Potential of Essential Oil Chemotypes of Eugenia uniflora Against Phytopathogens

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study investigates the chemical profile and antifungal activity of Eugenia uniflora essential oils. The major constituents identified were selina‐1,3,7(11)‐trien‐8‐one and curzerene. The oils showed significant inhibitory effects against the phytopathogens Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Pestalotia sp. These results emphasize the potential of E.

Role of mitochondrial complex I genes in host plant expansion of Bactrocera tau (Tephritidae: Diptera) by CRISPR/Cas9 system

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 147-158, February 2026.
The role of 3 mitochondrial complex I gene in host expansion of Bactrocera tau was verified by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system. A stable homogenous strain (Btndufa7‐/‐) of B.tau was established after silencing Ndufa7. The reduced size of larvae and pupae of Ndufa7 knockout strain was first found.Then different levels of fitness and relative expression ...

Production of Special Fruit Beer With Addition of Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) Pulp and Prolyl Endopeptidase to Improve Volatile Compounds and Physicochemical Parameters

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study assessed the feasibility of incorporating cupuassu pulp and the commercial protease Aspergillus niger prolyl endopeptidase (AN‐PEP) in the production of fruit beer. To preliminarily evaluate the impact of the protease on the beer protein profile, one‐dimensional SDS‐PAGE was employed.

Effective Multi‐Layer Semantic Fusion Method for Tibetan Medicinal Plant Detection

IET Image Processing, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper proposes an effective multi‐layer semantic fusion method that can be well adapted to the characteristics of Tibetan medicinal plant images. Compared to the original YOLOv8 algorithm, the method demonstrates improved performance on a self‐built Tibetan plant images dataset, indicating broad application prospects in various dense plant ...
