Role of mitochondrial complex I genes in host plant expansion of Bactrocera tau (Tephritidae: Diptera) by CRISPR/Cas9 system. [PDF]
Insect SciThe role of 3 mitochondrial complex I gene in host expansion of Bactrocera tau was verified by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system. A stable homogenous strain (Btndufa7‐/‐) of B.tau was established after silencing Ndufa7. The reduced size of larvae and pupae of Ndufa7 knockout strain was first found.Then different levels of fitness and relative expression ...

International Journal of Plant & Soil Science, 2015 There is a need to improve the existing germplasm of yellow pitaya (Selenicereus megalanthus), particularly for fruit quality and traits. The genetic transformation requires organogenesis and shoot regeneration protocols. Therefore, the in vitro culture of the plant was successfully established from mature seeds.

Insects Associated to Yellow Pitaya Crops ( Selenicereus Megalanthus ) On InzÁ, Cauca, Colombia
Revista Colombiana de Entomología, 2019 In the municipality of Inzá (Cauca, Colombia) the profitability of the main economic resource, coffee crops, decreased. As an alternative, yellow pitaya crops were established, but knowledge of the possible phytosanitary limitations for this crop in this region was absent.

Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co‐occurrence, arguing that methodological flaws and data misinterpretation have led to unsupported reports, and offer recommendations for more rigorous future research.

Heat‐Treated Whey Powder Solutions as Natural Antibrowning Agents in Fresh‐Cut Potatoes
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.Fresh‐cut potatoes were immersed in 5% whey powder solutions preheated to 20°C, 50°C, 70°C, or 90°C for 10 min. Moderate heat treatment (50°C) optimized whey protein functionality by increasing free sulfhydryl groups, maintaining suitable acidity, and promoting partial protein unfolding.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT Plant‐based antioxidants are widely incorporated into foods to retard oxidative deterioration and to deliver health‐related benefits. Yet, their in‐product and in vivo performance frequently diverges from predictions based on solution‐phase chemical assays, because matrix interactions, processing history, and host metabolism reshape both ...
