Feeding Practices and Welfare of Zoo‐Housed Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) on a Global Scale

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We collected feeding and stereotypy information on 702 giraffes from 146 zoos from all over the world. Less appropriate diets were linked to more oral stereotypies. ABSTRACT Since giraffe feeding practices have only been reported for European and US facilities, this study aimed to achieve a comprehensive overview of the current giraffe feeding ...

Impact of a High‐Fiber, Fruitless Diet on the Gut Microbiome, and Health of Captive Orangutans

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Transitioning captive orangutans to a high‐fiber, fruitless diet improved gut microbiome diversity, enhanced gastrointestinal health, and reduced stress‐related behaviors. This study demonstrates the significant benefits of tailored dietary interventions in promoting the health and welfare of zoo‐housed primates.

A global assessment of the viruses transmitted by the peach‐potato aphid (Myzus persicae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
The viruses transmitted by Myzus persicae, including proportions by family, order and transmission type (persistent, semi‐persistent and non‐persistent), are provided. Latin binomials and common names are documented for each virus Virus presence in GB matches well with the rest of NW Europe, but with 25 exceptions.

Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...

A robust biotechnology induces artificial genomic duplication via transient RNAi‐mediated suppression of OSD1 in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Plant Polyploidization via Gene Interference, a robust technology for inducing polyploidy in various rice accessions, uses transient RNAi‐mediated suppression of OSD1 to induce genomic duplication. Two strategies were used to directly induce fertile autotetraploid plants in the first generation, thereby substantially shortening the breeding cycle ...

ClaPEPCK4: target gene for breeding innovative watermelon germplasm with low malic acid and high sweetness

GM Crops & Food
Malic acid markedly affects watermelon flavor. Reducing the malic acid content can significantly increase the sweetness of watermelon. An effective solution strategy is to reduce watermelon malic acid content through molecular breeding technology.
