Dose effects of restorer gene modulate pollen fertility in cotton CMS-D2 restorer lines via auxin signaling and flavonoid biosynthesis.

The study examined gene alleles in CMS-D2 cotton and found that the homozygous RfRf genotype had higher fertility than the heterozygous Rfrf genotype. Key genes and metabolites were identified, and over-activation of auxin signaling was found to inhibit pollen development. These findings shed light on the regulation of pollen fertility in CMS-D2 cotton.

Arbutus unedo fruit syrup as a fortifying agent: effect on physicochemical, microbiological, rheological, sensory and antioxidant properties of yoghurt.

This study evaluated the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of fruits and their syrup when incorporated into bi-layer yogurt. Results showed that both extracts had antibacterial effects and the syrup increased yogurt consistency. Fermentation improved antioxidant activity initially, but it decreased over time during storage.
