IntroductionMicronutrient fertilisation is a promising strategy for agronomic biofortification of tomatoes. Yet, its effects on yield formation and fruit quality remain insufficiently clarified, particularly when multipl...

The thermoacidophilic Alicyclobacillus (ACB) genus includes several species responsible for spoilage of acidic fruit-based products, yet bacteriocins produced by these bacteria remain unexplored. In this study, the spoil...

Ageing is a complex biological process marked by gradual functional decline, reduced cellular resilience, and increased vulnerability to chronic diseases. Maintaining cell health has become a crucial strategy for extendi...

Abstract Potassium (K) deficiency has emerged as a critical constraint for sustainable apple production in highland regions, yet spatial variability of soil K status and site-specific fertilization responses remain poorl...

The ripening stage of a fruit is a crucial determinant of its quality. Traditional assessment methods for fruit ripeness are often subjective, error-prone, and time-consuming. Therefore, numerous attempts are being made ...

Abstract Major concerns in view of global issues including population increase, climate change, food insecurity and declining cultivable land are ones of expansion. Ensuring nutritional security and helping to mitigate t...

Ethylene biosynthesis during postharvest ripening of tomato fruit is stimulated by the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA). This research utilized mature green cherry tomato fruit to elucidate the molecular mechanism of SlA...

Background: Hepatic metabolic disorders are closely associated with obesity and are characterized by systemic inflammation and liver injury. Moringa oleifera fruit contains various bioactive compounds with potential anti...

The research was carried out to analyze the antimicrobial activity of oils from ungurahui fruit, kukui nut, and black cumin seeds. The antimicrobial activity of the oils was evaluated using standard laboratory test strai...

This study provides an integrated assessment of how terroir, fruit phenotype, and clarification level jointly influence the microbial and biochemical composition during the fermentation of cashew apple, a tropical fruit ...

Marang (Artocarpus odoratissimus) is a native Philippine tree commonly found in Southeast Asia, used to treat various ailments. To provide a scientific basis for such a claim, this study evaluated the potential of marang...

Fruit waste is an extensive problem, especially in areas where perishable fruits possess a short shelf life, resulting in considerable waste. A method of recycling fruit waste involves using it as a soil amendment, which...

In studies on the reproduction and germination of species with indehiscent fruits containing a single seed, it is often assumed that all fruits that reach maturity contain a seed capable of generating a new plant. This i...

This article explores women’s utilisation of indigenous fruits for food security and nutrition in Zimbabwe, using the Varemba in the Mberengwa district as a case study. Food insecurity is one of the causes of conflict ...

Processing tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a key crop in the Mediterranean, where farmers are increasingly required to balance high yields with reduced inputs. In response to the EU Farm to Fork strategy, which targe...

Abstract Bael (Aegle marmelos Correa), an underutilized fruit crop of high nutritional and medicinal value, exhibits wide adaptability to diverse agro-climatic conditions but remains neglected in systematic improvement a...

“Cagaita” is the fruit of the “cagaiteira” (Eugenia dysenterica), a native fruit tree of the Myrtaceae family, found in the Brazilian “Cerrado”. This fruit is a rich source in nutrients and bioactive compound...

Abstract Background The basic sex form in bitter gourd is monoecious, characterized by a high male: female flower sex ratio of approximately 15:1. However, gynoecious and predominantly gynoecious lines have recently been...

This research was carried out in Eastern Mediterranean region of Türkiye in main and second crop field conditions to determine the appropriate plant density in peanut cultivation at 70 cm inter-row distances. For this a...

The antagonistic Bacillus subtilis K1, previously isolated in our laboratory, exhibited significant inhibitory activity against Botrytis cinerea. To investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms, genomic bioinformatics...

The knowledge of the actual oral bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds through food intake in the human gut isa key factor for assessing their potential health benefits. To this end, there is a quest to develop advanced...
