Response surface optimization and ultrasonic modification of soy protein isolate–gellan gum composite films

Abstract Soy protein isolate (SPI)-based films are promising biodegradable packaging materials but often have limitations in mechanical strength and barrier performance. In this study, gellan gum (GG) was incorporated into SPI films, and response surface methodology (RSM) based o...

Fungal community structure from maize rhizosphere in different straw returning modes

This study examined the effects of different straw returning modes on the richness, evenness, and diversity of maize rhizosphere fungal communities. Maize rhizosphere soil samples were regularly collected using Illumina high-throughput under four straw returning modes: convention...

Transcriptomic profiling of roots reveals species-specific adaptive strategies in maize and soybean intercropping

Abstract Maize/soybean intercropping is a well-established agroecosystem for sustainable agriculture, yet the species-specific molecular mechanisms underlying their root adaptive strategies remain unclear. Here, we integrated phenotypic measurements and root transcriptomics to ch...

Integrated transcriptome and metabolome analysis reveals the regulatory mechanism of postharvest sweetness changes in kiwiberry

Abstract BACKGROUND Kiwiberry is a climacteric fruit known for its unique flavor and rich nutritional profile. Fruit sweetness increases gradually during postharvest storage; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. RESULTS In this study, targeted...
