Genome‐wide association studies and genomics‐informed breeding for tuber dormancy in tetraploid potatoes

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Upon harvest, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers enter a dormant state and do not sprout even under favorable conditions. Early dormancy break causes tuber spoilage and reduces postharvest quality. Common sprout control methods may compromise tuber quality, raise health and environmental concerns, and increase costs.

Pea Starch and Pea Fiber—A Review of Functional Properties, Sensory Characteristics, and Value‐Added Uses

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The utilization of plant‐based ingredients, such as legumes, is gaining popularity because of consumer demand for sustainably sourced, high‐protein foods, and an increased number of consumers reluctant to consume animal‐based products. Legumes are often cultivated for their protein but are also rich in starch and fiber.

Application of Peracetic Acid in Poultry Processing: Effects of Treatment Dynamics and Emerging Risk of Resistance Development in Salmonella spp.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Nontyphoidal Salmonella is a leading cause of foodborne illness, with poultry representing a major source. Peracetic acid (PAA), a widely adopted antimicrobial in poultry processing, offers advantages over traditional disinfectants but has sparked interest in its combined use with other antimicrobials and potential resistance.
