Scientists have identified a tomato #gene, SlHAM4, that works in the phloem—the plant’s “plumbing system” that moves sugars and signals. Without this gene, tomatoes end up smaller and #scarred, showing that SlHAM4 is important for phloem functions that support proper fruit

🍇 🔬🥭 Tomorrow is the big day - The public will be able to taste new #fruit varieties on our Summer Fruit Celebration – #Taste2025!. Here is a little sneak peek at our #raspberry breeding program led by Dr. @NirDai .📅 Friday, August 29, 2025.📍 Tel Aviv Port Market.🕗8:00 AM

Researchers reveal that plant #viruses, often overlooked in postharvest biology, can significantly influence fruit physiology after harvest. In #cucumbers, infection with Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) exacerbates cold-induced chilling injury and susceptibility to

📱 🧫 The researchers aimed to develop rapid, sensitive, and easy-to-use detection methods for latent fungal pathogens in harvested #fruit, in order to predict future decay and reduce postharvest losses. The novel #biosensor enables early detection, before visible symptoms

🦟 Some fruit fly species cause severe damage to agriculture, necessitating sprays with pesticides. The researchers identified a repellent, artemisia ketone, that originates in yarrow essential oils. Ylang-ylang essential oil was also found to be repellent. This finding opens a

🐛🍊 The results demonstrated that a compact whole-cell biosensor system can accurately identify infested mandarin by detecting specific changes in volatile organic compounds, providing a fast, non-destructive, and scalable detection tool. 👇.@HebrewU
