Integrative Bioinformatic, Transcriptional, and Enzymatic Analysis Reveals Differential Regulation of Rhamnogalacturonan Lyase During Postharvest Ripening of Soursop (Annona muricata L.) Varieties

Agronomy
Soursop fruit (Annona muricata L.) exhibits a rapid loss of firmness during postharvest ripening, mainly attributed to pectin depolymerization and cell wall restructuring.

Elastic Softening in the Orthorhombic Compound YbPdGe

, 2015
The Yb-based compound YbPdGe with the orthorhombic structure shows a ferromagnetic phase transition at 11.4K. YbPdGe has localized 4f-electrons of Yb3+ ions and the crystal electric field (CEF) effect at high temperatures.

When Cubic is Not Isotropic: Phonon–Exciton Decoupling in CuInSnS4 Single Crystals

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A cubic CuInSnS4 crystal does not fully play by cubic rules. While phonons follow the average iso‐tropic lattice symmetry, the disorder‐localized excitons break away, showing strong, and reproduci‐ble polarization‐dependent emission. This work shows how intrinsic cation disorder can turn a mac‐roscopically cubic material into a source of hidden ...

Exogenous spermidine treatment delays the softening of postharvest blueberry fruit by inhibiting the accumulation of abscisic acid

Future Postharvest and Food
Fruit softening is one of the main reasons for the loss of fresh blueberry; spermidine (Spd) delays fruit softening to some extent. However, the specific mechanism by which Spd delays fruit softening is not clear.

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a
