Relay Architectures and Ecological Strategies of Quorum Sensing Effects on Microbial Interactions

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 10, October 2026.
Quorum‐sensing activity in one population affects neighbouring populations through direct signal perception, QS‐regulated chemical effectors, or host‐ or environment‐mediated relays. Across distinct habitats, these relay architectures are associated with ecological strategies ranging from shared signal accessibility and reciprocal responsiveness to ...

Cuttings, Combings, Fettlings and Flock: Gender and Australian Wool ‘Waste’, 1900–1950

Gender &History, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 859-869, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As Australia's wool industry produced vast amounts of fine fleece from the nineteenth century, the wool processing and clothes manufacturing industries generated waste – products like cuttings, combings, fettlings and flock. Salvaged and then sold to waste merchants, these and other materials had a second life.

Charcoal evidence traces diverse fungal metabolic strategies to the Late Paleozoic

iScience
Summary: Wood decomposition through fungal activity is essential to the natural carbon cycle. There are three primary patterns of wood decay: white rot, brown rot, and soft rot. However, geological records of wood decay mainly originate from fossil woods,

The Not‐So‐Neue Frau: Weimar Berlin's Modern Women and Generational Identity After 1945

Gender &History, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 907-920, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This article studies the post‐1945 literary careers of Gabriele Tergit and Ilse Langner, two ageing German writers. Both had enjoyed promising careers as young women in Weimar Berlin, but Nazism and war disrupted their professional trajectories in varying ways. After 1945, they tried and failed to recapture their Weimar‐era success, eventually

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

VISUAL QUALITY AND PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN POTATO TUBERS TREATED WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

Colloquium Agrariae, 2018
Unconventional techniques such as the use of visible ultraviolet light (UV-C) and physical treatments have been used to combat post-harvest diseases. Attention has been focused on the use of hydrogen peroxide, but little is known about its effects on the

Integrated multi-omics identifies plant hormone signal transduction and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis as key pathways in kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa) resistance to Botryosphaeria Dothidea infection

BMC Plant Biology
Background Soft rot, a devastating fungal disease, severely impacts kiwifruit during postharvest storage, causing substantial fruit damage and rendering the fruit inedible. Botryosphaeria dothidea (B.
