(Horticulture, Environment, and Biotechnology, 2026-03-02)Rachis browning is a key postharvest challenge affecting the visual quality and marketability of table grapes (Vitis vinifera L.), yet its physiological basis remains poorly understood, particularly ... -
Visible-near infrared spectroscopy and near-infrared hyperspectral imaging for the detection of T-2 and HT-2 toxins in individual oat grains
(Food Control, 2025-08-26)Oat grains are increasingly consumed worldwide due to their health benefits, yet they are highly susceptible to contamination by Fusarium toxins, particularly T-2 and HT-2 toxins (T-2+HT-2). These toxins ... -
Effects of co-inoculation of plant growth-promoting bacteria and Rhizoglomus clarum on growth, nutrition, and root microbiome of first-season maize
(Plant Soil, 2026-04-15)Aims Maize (Zea mays L.) is a crucial crop for global food security, and its sustainable management is essential. Inoculation with plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) offers a promising strategy to ... -
Lupin-based high-protein extrudates: Physicochemical, nutritional and techno-functional properties
(Applied Food Research, 2026-04-05)Lupin is an underutilized legume with high protein content (30–40 %) and strong potential for sustainable cultivation, but its use in the food industry is limited by the presence of anti-nutritional ... -
Intercontinental comparisons of invasive spotted lanternfly egg mass densities and mortality patterns
(Ecosphere, 2026-04-20)Spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (White) (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), is an invasive species of planthopper native to China. Populations of this invasive insect have been detected in South Korea (2006), ... -
Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges
(Journal of Fish Biology, 2026-04-21)The welfare of non-human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current ... -
Integrative metagenomic and metabolomic profiling identifies faecal biomarkers of prolonged social stress in pigs
(Animal, 2026-04-08)Stressors significantly impact human and animal health, increasing the risk of physical and mental disorders, in part by affecting the gut-brain axis. Although a link between stress, alterations in gut ... -
Effect of straw bedding on cattle behaviour at rest stops during commercial long-distance transportation
(Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 2026-03-25)Transport is a common and stressful practice for cattle, with longer trips potentially increasing negative effects. No studies have examined the impact of bedding on beef cattle behaviour at rest stations. ... -
