Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...

Yield and crop cycle time of peaches cultivated in subtropical climates and subjected to different pruning times

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2015
The cultivation of peaches in regions of subtropical and tropical climate is currently achieved through a set of practices such as using less demanding cultivars in cold conditions, applying plant growth regulators to break dormancy, and performing ...

Coevolution and Functional Effects of Endosymbiotic Rickettsia in Leptocybe invasa Fisher & LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) Across China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Two distinct lineages of L. invasa and the dominant endosymbiont, Rickettsia, was identified, followed by an analysis of its infection density across various developmental stages and tissues of L. invasa. Furthermore, two distinct strains of the Rickettsia endosymbiont were detected, and the phylogenetic relationships between these strains and their L.

Y-shaped and fruiting wall peach orchard training system in subtropical Brazil [PDF]

Bragantia, 2019
ASBTRACT Peach as commercial crop in Brazil is usually grown in open vase training system. However, in the 1970s large orchards changed to the Y-shaped system and higher density of plants. This system is the most used in Sao Paulo state because it allows orchard densification.

Current and future global distribution of the peach twig borer, Anarsia lineatella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 94-107, February 2026.
Biological invasions and climate change drive species redistribution, threatening biodiversity, agriculture, and public health. Species distribution modelling (Maxent algorithm) predicted Anarsia lineatella current and future global range, identifying risk areas in Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas under changing climate conditions.

The Diversity of the DNA‐Binding Landscape in the DREB/ERF Family: Focusing on Reproductive Processes in Fruit Trees With Highly Heterozygous Genome

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 639-658, February 2026.
ABSTRACT DREB/ERF transcription factors play pivotal roles in plant development; however, their structural characteristics, DNA‐binding preferences, and functional roles in highly heterozygous woody plants remain insufficiently understood. Using lychee (Litchi chinensis) as a model, we identified 95 DREB/ERF genes subdivided into ten phylogenetic ...

Genotypic Differentiation in Temperature Requirements for Stratification in Subtropical Peach Seeds [PDF]

HortScience, 1997
The variability of species under local ecosystems, particularly in response to temperatures during endodormancy, permits adaptation of temperate fruit trees to subtropical climates. Information about the behavior of endodormant fruit trees and seeds is based on a narrow genetic base from higher latitudes. This work was conducted to generate information

Methyl jasmonate fumigation enhances crop yield and delays physiochemical quality changes by modulating the secondary metabolism in green bell pepper

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 1, Page 55-72, 15 January 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The green bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), of the ‘Lamuyo’ type, is a highly valued vegetable owing to its excellent organoleptic and nutritional properties. However, these properties are subject to deterioration during postharvest storage, which in turn limits the shelf‐life of the pepper fruit.

Does the abiotic environment influence the distribution of flower and fruit colors?

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Premise Color in flowers and fruits carries multiple functions, from attracting animal partners (pollinators, dispersers) to mitigating environmental stress (cold, drought, UV‐B). With research historically focusing on biotic interactions as selective agents, however, it remains unclear whether abiotic stressors impact flower and fruit colors ...
