How a Plant Hormone Slows Apple Ripening by Rewriting Protein Fate | Newswise
[ad_1] Newswise — Ethylene is a central hormone controlling ripening in climacteric fruits such as apple, tomato, and banana, coordinating color change, softening, and flavor development. While manipulating ethylene production has long been a target for improving fruit storage, most approaches focus on enzyme activity or gene expression rather than upstream regulatory mechanisms. Salicylic acid […]

From Leaf Images to Genomes: Deep Learning Reshapes Pest-Resistant Breeding | Newswise
[ad_1] Newswise — Agricultural pest management has traditionally relied on chemical insecticides, but their overuse has led to environmental contamination, health risks, and rapidly evolving pesticide resistance. Meanwhile, natural variation in pest resistance exists within crops and their wild relatives, offering valuable resources for breeding. However, resistance traits are difficult to measure accurately, as they […]
