Effects of Blanching on Phytochemical Retention, Antioxidant Capacity, and Microstructure of Banana Flower (Musa spp., Musaceae)

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Hot‐water blanching (100°C, 1–5 min), citric acid treatment (1%–5% w/v in water), and microwave blanching (720 W, 30–40 s) were employed to modify the bioactive compounds of banana flowers. Microwave blanching for 40 s yielded the highest amounts of total phenolics (7.60 mg GAE/g), total flavonoids (4.90 mg QE/g), and antioxidant activity.

Host‐specific and deterministic microbiome assembly in major coleopteran stored‐grain pests

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Dual DNA‐ and RNA‐based sequencing profiled the microbiomes of five major coleopteran stored‐grain pests and their wheat flour substrate. The microbiomes differed significantly among hosts and from flour, yet 11 core bacterial and 9 core fungal taxa were shared across hosts. RNA data revealed host‐specific active microbiota.

Nutritional and sensory characteristics of local and hybrid East African Highland cooking bananas: Implications for breeding programs

JSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 9, Page 363-380, September 2026.
Abstract Background Bananas (Musa species) are an important staple food and cash crop in many parts of the world. The East African Highland cooking bananas form the backbone of food security for millions of Ugandans. The demand for high quality cooking bananas is thus closely linked to their sensory characteristics (which drive consumer preference) and

Chemometric‐Driven Spectral Fingerprinting for Non‐Destructive Quality Assessment of Mangoes

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Visible–NIR spectroscopy using a compact open‐source spectrophotometer successfully tracked mango ripening by capturing wavelength‐specific changes linked to acidity, sugars, pigments, and DA index, enabling accurate non‐destructive prediction of ripening stages during ambient storage.

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Genetic insights into bacterial wilt resistance using genomic prediction and association mapping in blueberry

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia spp., poses a major threat to blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) production due to its persistence and rapid spread through soil and infected stock, highlighting the need for genetic insights to guide breeding strategies. This study investigated the genetic basis of bacterial wilt resistance in blueberry using

Focus on DnaJ protein research from Arabidopsis to crop improvement

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract DnaJ proteins (Hsp40s) are essential components of the cellular proteostasis network, functioning as molecular co‐chaperones that regulate protein folding, stability, and stress‐responsive homeostasis in plants. Beyond their classical role as Hsp70 partners, accumulating evidence demonstrates that DnaJ proteins participate in diverse ...

Genomic resources to advance seed coat color and patterning genetics and breeding in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Seed coat color and patterning are key quality traits in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) that define market classes and strongly influence consumer preference and market value. These traits are controlled by a complex network of major genes (sometimes with epistatic interactions), which complicates the recovery of desired market class ...
