Physiological and biochemical changes in imported litchi fruit [PDF]

, 2010
It is important to determine the appropriate conditions for maintaining postharvest quality of litchi fruit after arrival from overseas markets. The present study, therefore, aimed to detail the effects of different storage conditions on physiological ...

Fruit‐Piercing Moth Serrodes partita (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) in Soft Citrus: Feeding Behaviour and Damage Patterns for Improved Management in the Eastern Cape, South Africa

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The fruit‐piercing moth, Serrodes partita (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), is a significant pest of soft citrus in South Africa. The adult moth pierces ripe and ripening fruit, leading to fruit rot. The damage is challenging to detect due to the delayed onset of symptoms. The study investigated the feeding preferences and damage patterns of S. partita

Advancing Fruit Bioimpedance Monitoring With Sustainable, Soft, And Bio‐Based Electrodes Beyond ECG

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 18, 21 September 2026.
Electrical impedance spectroscopy enables non‐destructive fruit quality monitoring, but conventional ECG and needle electrodes compromise signal stability, fruit physiology, and sustainability. This perspective highlights the transition toward soft, biocompatible, and biodegradable electrode interfaces based on natural substrates, bio‐derived ...

Research priorities and regional imperatives to strengthen organic agriculture in the Southeast

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Organic agriculture continues to expand rapidly in the United States, yet production in the Southeastern United States (SE) lags behind other regions despite strong consumer demand and favorable market conditions. This forum paper synthesizes findings from a regional expert assessment aimed at identifying key challenges and research priorities

Impact of crop sequence on cereal yield and soil health in shallow dryland soils

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Diversifying small‐grain production systems is encouraged in the US northern Great Plains and similar semiarid regions. Our objective was to determine how crop sequence affected small‐grain crop disease, grain yield, and soil biology in shallow dryland soils of central Montana. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), canola (Brassica napus L.), field pea

Adaptive silviculture for climate change in North American forests: Operationalizing the resistance–resilience–transition framework

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract The impacts of global climate change have compelled forest managers to evaluate their practices and ecosystems, considering when and how to resist change, promote resilience, or facilitate transitions. Forest adaptation has made significant strides to move from theory to practice over the last two decades, with widespread examples of ...

Low‐Cost Training of Smallholder Vegetable Farmers Reduces Postharvest Losses and Increases Incomes in Bangladesh: Evidence From a Propensity Score Matching Analysis

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT An estimated one‐third of global food production is lost or wasted. In low‐income countries such as Bangladesh, most of these losses occur at the level of farmers and traders. Interventions are needed to reduce these losses and benefit smallholder farmers.

Engineering a Multifunctional g‐C3N4/TiO2 Active Packaging Film With Enhanced Barrier and Photocatalytic Properties for Postharvest Preservation of Plum Fruit

Future Postharvest and Food, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 320-333, September 2026.
The engineered g‐C3N4/TiO2@PVA active packaging film efficiently degrades exogenous ethylene under LED irradiation, effectively suppressing the endogenous ripening pathway of “Wushan” plums. Combined with enhanced barrier properties, this multifunctional film significantly delays the climacteric respiration peak and extends fruit shelf life.
