Automated identification of honey bee pollen loads for field‐applied palynological studies
Summary In a changing world, it is crucial to characterise communities and their evolution over time. Because social insect pollinators forage on flowering plants around the colony, the nest potentially contains important information about the pollinated plants such as species identity and plant phenology.

Pollen sterols are highly diverse but phylogenetically conserved
Summary Phytosterols regulate cell membrane fluidity and are precursors for plant hormones and secondary metabolites in plants. Insects are auxotrophic for sterols; therefore, they have to consume phytosterols and dealkylate them to cholesterol. Some insects, including bees, which rely on dietary sources, primarily pollen, for sterols, cannot modify ...

Summary Slow‐melting flesh (SMF) in peaches offers many advantages, including easy transportation, maintaining flavour after ripening, an extended harvest window, and reduced losses caused by fruit softening. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive.

Summary Dihydrochalcones are secondary metabolites with manifold dietary and pharmaceutical properties, but with a yet unclear function in plants. The abundance of dihydrochalcones, particularly phloridzin, makes Malus ssp. unique in the plant kingdom. The gene(s)/enzyme(s) for the key reaction in phloridzin biosynthesis, the reduction in the C3‐bridge

A Novel ZjbZIP33‐ZjPRX1 Module Positively Regulates Lignin Formation in the Jujube Fruit Stone
ABSTRACT Fruit stones play an important role in fruit development and are closely related to fruit quality. Lignification of the fruit stone (endocarp) is a typical feature of stone fruits. Stoneless jujube is a valuable jujube germplasm resource, and the degree of lignification of its fruit stone is low.
