Abstract Upon harvest, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers enter a dormant state and do not sprout even under favorable conditions. Early dormancy break causes tuber spoilage and reduces postharvest quality. Common sprout control methods may compromise tuber quality, raise health and environmental concerns, and increase costs.

Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects
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 ...

Continuous intake of sweet potato petiole and leaf, rich in polyphenols, demonstrated the neuroprotective effects in a gerbil model of transient cerebral ischaemia. Pre‐ischaemic feeding of a diet containing sweet potato petiole and leaf tended to be more effective than post‐ischaemic feeding.

Retardation of Vine Development of Pot-grown Sweet Potato Plants with Mepiquat Chloride
Abstract Mepiquat chloride sprays did not affect the percentage of dry weight partitioned to ‘Georgia Jet’ sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas Lam.] vines or storage roots, but with 4000 or 8000 mg liter−1 concentrations there was a tendency toward reduced vine length and reduced number of nodes.

The Application of Carbon Dots in Crops for Sustainable Agriculture
Carbon dots serve as versatile nanoagents across the crop life cycle. They promote plant growth and photosynthesis, enhance resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses, aid in postharvest preservation, and enable sensitive detection of contaminants.
