Physiological effects of MAP and calcium chloride treatments on biochemical metabolites and quality stability by reducing respiration rate in sweet cherry fruit during storage

This study examined how treating freshly harvested sweet cherries with calcium chloride and special packaging can keep them fresher longer. Researchers found that combining both treatments was most effective at preventing the fruit from losing weight, developing rot, and breaking down important nutrients. The combined treatment reduced respiration by 77% and better preserved vitamins and beneficial compounds that give cherries their health benefits.

Automatic classification of fungal-fungal interactions using deep learning models

Researchers developed an artificial intelligence system that automatically analyzes images of fungi growing together to identify which ones can fight off disease-causing fungi. Instead of having humans manually look at thousands of plate images, which is time-consuming and subjective, their computer vision system can classify the outcomes with 95% accuracy. This automation tool could help scientists quickly find beneficial fungi that could replace chemical pesticides in agriculture, supporting the goal of sustainable and more environmentally friendly farming.
