Ethephon Promotes Sprouting and Increases Vigor in Yam Seed‐Tubers

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
The yam (Dioscorea alata L.) is of social and economic relevance for small farmers in Northeast Brazil, but its cultivation is hindered by the low quality of propagative material and a long dormancy period exceeding 90 days. This study evaluated the effect of Ethephon doses and different tuber segments of the São Tomé variety on sprouting and seedling ...

Developmental Differences and Implications for Small and Large ‘Zesy002’ Kiwifruit

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
‘Zesy002’ (Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis, sold commercially as Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit) now dominates the New Zealand kiwifruit industry and the global market for yellow‐fleshed kiwifruit. It is an inherently larger‐fruited cultivar than the traditional green‐fleshed “Hayward” fruit, with an average fruit mass of ∼120 g compared to ∼100 g for ...

Role of Columella and Inner Pericarp in Kiwifruit Compression Behaviour: A Finite Element Analysis

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Kiwifruit compression occurs throughout postharvest handling, including picking, packing, transport and storage. Kiwifruit deforms differently under compression depending on its firmness, with tissue‐specific behaviours. The outer pericarp flesh is the most vulnerable to damage; simultaneously, its deformation depends on not only the mechanical ...

Fruit Texture Measurement: A Review of Biological and Mechanical Interactions

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Textural changes are an important aspect of fruit ripening. Accurate measurement of texture allows for a scientific understanding of fruit development including aspects of maturation and ripening, the effect of storage treatments, and the sensory acceptability for a range of fruit species.

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.
