Genetic control underlying dynamics of blueberry bioactive compounds during postharvest can drive breeding for functional fruits [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract Blueberries (Vaccinium spp.) are widely recognized as a superfruit due to their high content health‐promoting bioactive compounds, including flavonoids and phenolic acids. While these metabolites provide significant health benefits, their postharvest stability and implications for shelf life are not well characterized, a fact that is essential

Prediction at harvest and detection at the ready‐to‐eat stage of internal black flesh severity in mangoes using portable Vis–NIR spectroscopy

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Although previous studies have demonstrated that visible–near infrared (Vis–NIR) spectroscopy can accurately predict black flesh incidence at harvest and detect the disorder in ready‐to‐eat mango fruit, its ability to discriminate among severity levels has not yet been established.

Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) in Nigeria: Regional cultivation patterns, landrace diversity, and farmer knowledge for conserving a climate‐resilient indigenous cereal

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) cereals are valued for their drought resilience, adaptability to poor soils, and cultural importance. In Nigeria, where both species are cultivated, fonio has declined due to labor‐intensive processing, lower yields, and changing livelihood choices. By documenting 21 landraces (15 D. exilis and 6 D. iburua),

UV mutagenesis‐enhanced Streptomyces nogalater produces a novel streptothricin‐like compound with strong activity against cabbage soft rot

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
UV mutagenesis of Streptomyces sp. KRA0514‐6 yielded HL‐3, a novel streptothricin‐like compound (C17H29N7O8) with N‐methylglycine replacing β‐lysine, achieving 100% cabbage soft rot control at >1 ppm concentration. Abstract BACKGROUND A total of 1000 soil‐derived actinomycetes were isolated and screened for antibacterial activity against Pectobacterium

Reducing copper inputs through integration of essential oil‐based formulations: laboratory and 2‐year vineyard evaluation against Plasmopara viticola

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Combining an essential oil (EO)‐based formulation with copper effectively controls Plasmopara viticola. Field trials showed a 92–99% protection with lower copper inputs, achieving a 45% copper reduction without compromising efficacy. This approach supports EO‐based products as sustainable alternatives for grapevine downy mildew management.

Evaluation of electrolyzed water to control fungal trunk pathogens in grapevine nurseries

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1740-1751, April 2025.
Electrolyzed water treatments could have promising applications in the grapevine nursery process to prevent or reduce infections caused by fungal trunk pathogens on grapevine propagation material. Abstract BACKGROUND Grapevine producers demand solutions to control fungal trunk pathogens (FTPs) in nurseries.
