Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus: A persistent seed‐borne threat to cucurbits
Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a highly stable, seed‐borne tobamovirus that threatens global cucurbit production. Its efficient mechanical and seed transmission, long‐term environmental persistence, and the spread of Clade II CGMMV isolates drive its rapid dissemination and cause severe yield losses.

Luffa Sponge Gourd Production Practices for Temperate Climates [PDF]
HortScience, 1994 The objective of 2 years of field studies was to begin development of a luffa sponge gourd (Luffa aegyptiaca Mill.) production system for a cool, temperate climate by studying the effects of planting date, planting method, in-row spacing (30.5, 61, and 91 cm), and pruning techniques on yield ...

Genetic analysis of fruit shape traits at different maturation stages in sponge gourd. [PDF]
J Zhejiang Univ Sci B, 2007 The fruit shape is important quantitative trait closely related to the fruit quality. However, the genetic model of fruit shapes has not been proposed. Therefore, in the present study, analysis of genetic effects for fruit shape traits (fruit length and fruit perimeter) in sponge gourd was conducted by employing a developmental genetic model including ...

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 551-564, April 2026.Abstract Fossil micrometeorites (MMs) recovered from lithified sedimentary rocks, particularly iron‐rich (I‐type) cosmic spherules (CSs) provide valuable insights into past dust‐forming events. Their abundances, when combined with estimates of local sedimentation rates can be used to reconstruct the flux of extraterrestrial dust.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 5, 4 March 2026.The porous HMC selectively captures cationic dyes (MB and MG) from contaminated water, transforming dark, dye‐laden effluent into clean water. ABSTRACT Our investigation explores the exclusion of two health‐risk cationic dyes (e.g., Methylene Blue (MB) and Malachite Green (MG)) using a novel hydrazone‐modified cellulose (HMC) adsorbent synthesized via ...

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Nappi, a fermented fish product having culinary significance in ethnic communities, often experiences a decline in quality due to improper storage conditions, leading to a reduced shelf life. Therefore, sorbitol, a polyhydric alcohol, possesses antioxidant properties, and its dual role as a humectant and bulking agent, which underscores its value as an

Nepalese Landraces of Sponge Gourd for the Production of Tender Fruits
Journal of Agriculture and Environment, 2013 Evaluation of landraces is necessary for better management of agricultural biodiversity on- farm. The objective was to evaluate the farmers named landraces of sponge gourd that are being maintained on-farm for tender fruit production. A total of 21 sponge gourd landraces collected from six districts of Nepal were evaluated in a randomized complete ...

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.
