Synthesis of 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan and furan-2,5-diylbis(methylene) diacetate from apple pomace waste via chemobiological catalysis

The direct valorization of real agricultural waste into high-value furan derivatives remains challenging because biomass deconstruction and selective downstream upgrading generally require chemically distinct catalytic environments. Here, a sequential chemobiological platform int...

Honeydew‐Associated Bacteria Suppress Zucchini Defense Responses and Enhance the Performance of the Cotton‐Melon Aphid

Aphid honeydew is generally regarded as a sugar-rich excretion, but it also contains microbial communities that may influence plant-herbivore interactions. Whether honeydew-associated bacteria suppress plant defense responses to enhance aphid performance remains unclear. Here, we...
