Natural variation in SL6 determines fatty acid components and seed longevity in rice

Seed longevity (SL) is vital for ensuring food security worldwide. However, the genetic basis of SL has been scarcely documented. Here, we report the cloning of a major SL locus, qSL6 , encoding a fatty acyl-ACP thioesterase type B. SL6 is functionally conserved in regulating pal...

Application of a Bioactive Compound 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol in Nanoemulsion Form for Shelf-Life Extension of Cherry Tomatoes: From Microbial Inactivation to Quality and Safety Evaluation

Postharvest spoilage of cherry tomatoes caused by pathogenic microorganisms and oxidative browning leads to significant economic losses and food waste. Natural bioactive compounds are gaining increasing attention as alternatives to synthetic pesticides. In this study, a nanoemuls...
