A Journey Between Science and the Arts: Templates for the Depiction of the Pineapple (Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries)

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native to America, the pineapple—Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.—delighted the Europeans who came across it. The fruit was mentioned by the voyagers and missionaries who observed and tasted it in the Americas and, from the 1500s onwards, infused reports, chronicles and natural history treatises with colour and flavour.

Growth, yield and fruit quality of ‘Tropic Snow’ peach on size-controlling rootstocks under dry Mediterranean climates

Scientia Horticulturae, 2013
Abstract A six-year trial was carried out to evaluate the vegetative and productive performance of low-chill, early-ripening ‘Tropic Snow’ peach grown on five peach × almond rootstocks, different for their vigor. The study was conducted in south-western Sicily using 45 V-trained peach trees planted in 2005 and grafted on GF677, the most common ...

Aphid Resistance in Pulse Crops: Sources, Mechanisms, Genetics and Breeding

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Aphids are major pests of pulse crops, causing damage through phloem sap feeding and virus transmission. In this context, resistant varieties are central components of sustainable aphid management. This review synthesizes current knowledge on resistance sources, phenotyping strategies, resistance mechanisms, genetic control and breeding ...

Assessment of Phytochemical Compounds and Antioxidant Potential of West Indian Avocado (Persea americana) Peel From Substandard‐Quality Fruits as a Valorisation Strategy

Phytochemicals in Food and Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
West Indian avocado peels discarded because of low‐commercial‐quality were evaluated as a source of bioactive compounds. Avocado peels contained high levels of phenolic compounds and showed strong antioxidant capacity. These results support avocado peel valorisation within functional foods, circular and sustainable food systems.

Genetic variability, heritability, and trait associations for growth and yield characters in kola [Cola nitida (Vent) Schott. & Endl.]

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Genetic enhancement of crop plants such as kola [Cola nitida (Vent) Schott. & Endl.] can be made effective and efficient via estimates of genetic parameters. Our study evaluated genetic parameters to provide insights into heritable variability and character associations in kola to guide variety development.

Alley cropping opportunities and research priorities in orchard systems: A case study in northern California

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Alley cropping is the production of annual and perennial cash crops between orchard trees. Despite its documented benefits, adoption of alley cropping in California remains limited. This paper describes a long‐term commercial alley cropping system in northern California and identifies research areas that can support this practice.
