health benefits, including the reduction of cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer risk …

Citrus fruits, revered for their nutritional value, face significant threats from diseases like
citrus canker, particularly impacting global citrus cultivation, notably in Pakistan. This study …

The plant hormone ethylene plays a critical role in fruit defense against Botrytis cinerea
attack, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we showed that …

Background Elucidation of the regulatory mechanism of kiwifruit response to gray mold
