The role of Fragaria vesca homolog of a (Z)-3:(E)-2-hexenal isomerase in the development of green-leafy fruit aroma
(Horticulture Research, 2025-06-26)The green leaf volatiles (Z)-3-hexenal and (E)-2-hexenal are key components of the characteristic strawberry aroma, an important determinant of consumer preferences. Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) are C6 ... -
Two volatiles from anthracnose-infected blueberries trigger electrophysiological and aversive behavioral responses in Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
(Journal of Economic Entomology, 2025-02-19)Native to Southeast Asia, the spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii Matsumura) is an economically important invasive pest of thin-skinned fruits such as raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries ... -
The effects of temperature changes on Totoaba macdonaldi larval development, growth, and respiratory rates
(Fish Physiology and Biochemistry, 2025-10-22)Understanding the effects of environmental temperature on marine fish larvae is crucial for optimizing feeding regimes and promoting optimal development and growth from a zootechnical perspective in ... -
Biodiversity and spatial distribution of potentially ciguatera-causing dinoflagellates using DNA metabarcoding
(Marine Environmental Research, 2025-10-22)Ciguatera poisoning (CP) is a foodborne disease caused by eating seafood containing ciguatoxins from benthic dinoflagellates of the genus Gambierdiscus. Moreover, the related Fukuyoa, which often coexists ... -
ResynPy: a software for selecting pairs of complementary inbred lines to resynthesize valuable heterozygous genotypes
(BMC Bioinformatics, 2025-10-28)Background Using cultivars based on a single, partly heterozygous, genotype is one of the bases of agriculture, frequently used in seed-propagated species such as vegetables and field crops (F1 hybrid ... -
