The quality attributes of soybean seeds (Glycine max L.) depend on factors such as genetics, environmental conditions, and the storage techniques used. The quality changes as phenolic acid, flavonoid, mineral composition, color and germination properties of soybean seeds stored at different temperatures (10, 15, 20 and 25 °C) for 360 days were investigated. Soybean seeds, renowned for their nutritional value, are significantly impacted by storage conditions which affect their viability and quality. Seed moisture content varied significantly with storage duration (SD) and temperature (ST), and their interaction (SD × ST), showing fluctuations from 5.43% to 13.1%. Germination parameters were notably impacted by SD and the SD × ST interaction, but less so by ST alone. The highest germination percent was observed at 180 days and 15 °C, while the lowest germination speed occurred at 360 days and 25 °C. Gallic acid levels generally increased over time, while catechin and quercetin concentrations decreased with prolonged storage and higher temperatures. The study's results underscore the critical role of storage conditions in maintaining soybean seed quality. Optimal storage practices, particularly maintaining controlled temperatures and minimizing storage duration, are essential for preserving the seeds' nutritional and germination properties. Considering all the examined parameters, it can be said that 10 and 15 °C temperatures are more suitable for preserving quality properties.

The global production of legumes and other economically important food crops and cash crops is severely jeopardized because unfavorable biotic and abiotic stressors play a crucial role in undermining global agricultural production. The current study attempted to address the situation of a global decline in legume production and storage due to infestation by Callosobruchus chinensis (Linnaeus, 1758)(Coleoptera:Chrysomelidae) an obnoxious pest that threatens post-harvest storage, leading to a decline in both their quantity and quality. The experiment showcased the comparison of green silica nanoparticles (GSiO₂NPs) synthesized from aqueous leaf extracts of Phyllanthus emblica L. (Phyllanthaceae) and Punica granatum L. (Lythraceae) commonly known as amla & anar. These GSiO₂NPs were compared with chemically synthesized NPs, leaf extract, and untreated group. The characterization results of GSiO₂NPs determined to be nanosized within 30–80 nm (FESEM), exhibiting sharp peaks centered at 2Ɵ (XRD), strong signal peaks corresponding to silicon (EDX), and zeta values below −25 mV (Zeta Potential). Five pairs of adult C. chinensis were released into Vigna angularis (Fabaceae) seeds treated with varying amounts of GSiO₂NPs (5 ppm, 20 ppm, 35 ppm, 50 ppm, and 70 ppm). Highest adult mortality on the seventh day (86.65%), and least seed damage (15.36%) and seed weight loss (8.26%) on the 14th day were observed when treated with 70 ppm SiO₂NPs synthesized with P. emblica extract. Both two biosynthesized SiO₂NPs demonstrated the protection of seed grains from the test insect, offering an alternative pest control strategy for grain quality preservation.

Understanding the influence of environmental stressors on pest reproduction is critical for effective management strategies, particularly in a changing climate. This study investigates the reproductive output and biological parameters of the cold-exposed cowpea weevil, Callosobruchus maculatus, focusing on the effects of keeping insects virgin during cold exposure versus allowing copulation before exposure. Newly emerged adults were exposed to either optimal (30 °C) or cold (4 °C) temperatures for four days. Virgin insects copulated after treatment termination. By manipulating temperature treatments and mating status, we investigated how these factors affected a suite of life-history traits, including longevity, egg number, hatch percentage, adult emergence, and mating behaviors. Our findings demonstrate that virginity substantially extends longevity in both sexes under normal temperatures. We observed a trade-off between survival and reproduction in virgin cold-exposed C. maculatus. Mating status (virginity or being mated) during cold exposure did not affect males' and females' longevity; however, it influenced reproduction output. Notably, cold-exposed females that were virgin during cold exposure laid more total eggs (212.28) in their life and these eggs had a higher hatchability (91.60%) than eggs of insects that were copulated during cold exposure (112.67 eggs and 78.79% hatchability). Although cold exposure in males and females can extend the adult lifespan, it considerably reduces reproductive success. Mating trials showed that cold stress strongly reduced mating success, with cold-exposed females showing increased rejection rates and altered copulation duration. These results indicate a vital role for mating status in determining reproductive outcomes under environmental stress. Future research should explore the applicability of these findings to other pest species and develop adaptive pest management strategies.

Chickpea consists of proteins, minerals, vitamins, fiber, and phytochemicals that are beneficial for health, besides being a source of energy. The quality of the grain is directly influenced by storage conditions, with temperature and time being the main factors responsible for most changes. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of temperature (15, 20, 25, and 30 °C) and storage time (0, 2, 4, and 6 months) on the physicochemical parameters, bioactive compounds, and antioxidant activity of chickpeas, and functional properties of protein isolate. The results indicated that increasing temperature and storage time caused significant effects (p < 0.05) on physical-chemical parameters. There was an increase in solubility and foam formation and a reduction in the emulsification index of the chickpea protein isolate as a function of temperature and time. Based on our evaluation, a temperature of 15 °C produces the least changes in the measured parameters.

Not only current but also historical data are invaluable for identifying long-term trends in pest distribution and the factors driving these changes. However, detailed and updated faunistic surveys of storage pests, including key primary pests, are lacking in most European countries. This study aimed to investigate the current and historical distribution of species from the genus Sitophilus in the Czech Republic (CZ) and to identify trends in their occurrence over time. To achieve this, we collected and analyzed pest samples from 241 storage locations across CZ between 2019 and 2024 and conducted an in-depth analysis of historical pest survey reports spanning 70 years. Our findings indicate that S. granarius and S. oryzae are currently widespread in the CZ, while S. zeamais is absent. Sitophilus granarius was approximately twice as frequent in samples compared to S. oryzae. An analysis of historical records revealed significant variations in their occurrence over time. Before the 1950s, S. granarius was the only established species in the region, while S. oryzae was a rare pest, likely dependent on imported grain. During the 1960s, populations and occurrence of both species declined substantially. Recovery began in the 1970s and 1980s, during which S. oryzae temporarily became more abundant than S. granarius. However, our recent survey shows that S. granarius has again become the dominant species. The reasons for these temporal fluctuations in Sitophilus spp. populations are discussed.

Postharvest water loss and crumpling quality degradation in peppers were observed, and the changes in their volatile compounds warrant further investigation. This study examined the effects of carvacrol treatment on the metabolism of antioxidant flavonoids and volatile substances in post-harvest peppers using a combined transcriptome and GC-MS/LC-MS analysis. It has been demonstrated that carvacrol, at a concentration of 0.015 mg mL⁻¹, effectively delayed the decline in hardness, titratable acidity, capsaicin content, total phenolic compounds, and total flavonoids, while also mitigating the increase in weight loss, relative electrical conductivity, and decay rate in post-harvest peppers A total of 1304 differential genes were identified by transcription in this study, of which 143 differential genes were involved in flavonoid metabolism. Carvacrol increased 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL), chalcone synthase (CHS), flavonoid synthase (FNS), and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT), transketolase (TK), azelate dehydrogenase (ADT), 1-deoxy-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXS), 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR), and isopentenyl phosphate kinase (IPK) gene expression. Carvacrol also downregulated the gene expression of chalcone-flavanone isomerase (CHI), flavonol synthase (FLS) and flavonoid 3-hydroxylase (F3H). Additionally, it increased the content of lignan-7-O-neohesperidin, kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside, and kaempferol-3-O-galactoside. Notably, the 72 differential volatiles in post-harvest peppers decreased over the storage period. However, after 40 days of storage, the levels of specific volatile aroma compounds, including 4-Hexen-3-one, (E)-2-Hexenal, 2-Furanmethanol, 1-Hexanol, 2-Methyl-2-pentanal, Copaene, 2-Methylbutyric acid, Methyl acetate, isovaleric acid, (E)-2-Methyl-2-butyraldehyde, and Phenylacetic acid propyl ester was up-regulated. Thus, it is illustrated that carvacrol affects flavonoid metabolism while maintaining the content of key postharvest volatile aroma substances, thus positively influencing the postharvest quality of pepper.

Actinidia arguta (A. arguta) is a highly sought-after and promising understory cash crop with great potential for commercial growth. Its fruit is sweet, delicious, and nutritious and is favored by consumers all over the world. In recent years, A. arguta has been commercially cultivated worldwide, with an increasing number of ripe fruits. However, its seasonality and impatience with storage limit its sustainability. With the continuous improvement of preservation technology and deep processing technology, the price impact and waste of resources caused by the concentrated ripening of A. arguta have been avoided to a certain extent. In this paper, the harvest maturity index and the influencing factors of post-harvest decay of A. arguta were reviewed, and the research status of A. arguta preservation technology and deep processing methods was analyzed and prospected.

Preserving the quality and integrity of wheat during storage is crucial for food security and industry applications. Eight wheat varieties of different classes were stored for 8 weeks at 17% moisture content (wet basis) before data acquisition using synchrotron phase contrast micro tomography, synchrotron X-ray fluorescence imaging, and mid-IR spectroscopy at the Canadian Light Source, Saskatoon, Canada. Differentiation of wheat is possible based on changes in the microstructure of selected wheat classes. Minimum changes in microstructure were observed in Canada Western Extra Strong (CWES), Canada Northern Hard Red (CNHR), Canada Western Red Winter (CWRW), Canada Western Special Purpose (CWSP), and Canada Prairie Spring White (CPSW) classes of wheat, suggesting that these could perform better in storage. The existing condition of kernel microstructure strongly influences the performance of wheat in storage, which is a significant outcome of this study. The micronutrients distribution and biochemical composition were affected at the end of 8 weeks of storage in deteriorated wheat classes Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR), Canada Western Hard White Spring (CWHWS), Canada Western Soft White Spring (CWSWS), and Canada Western Extra Strong (CWES). Data could also help plant breeders to develop varieties that do not spoil easily, improve grain processing techniques, and develop post-harvest recommendations.

Grain sampling probes, also called spears and triers, are used to collect samples from bulk grain at rest and are known to draw a higher proportion from the uppermost levels. Probes are used to collect samples that will be aggregated for representative sampling but are also useful tools in grain drying research and in monitoring quality and pest presence during storage, where it is important to know how fully the sample represents the corresponding grain bed. In this study, a method was proposed to prepare color-differentiated 15.2 cm layers of corn to make a column of known proportions. A spiral open headed grain sample spear, which fills from the bottom to the top, was used to sample a column of 19.8% moisture dry basis dent corn, and the count and proportional mass of samples drawn with the spear were determined and correlated to the sample volume of a common handheld moisture meter tester (Agratronix MT-16 Grain Moisture Tester). Sampling methods of vertical grain spear insertion and USDA-recommended 10° from vertical were compared, and the impact of sampling higher-moisture corn kernels (24.8% dry basis) and a shorter 76 cm column was also determined. It was found that vertical sampling with the spiral spear had higher uniformity between samples, less top layer skew, and included more grain from the bottom layer compared to the 10° from vertical sampling angle. It was also found that the top skew was much higher with the shorter 76 cm column compared to the 91 cm column, and sampling of 24.8% grain did not have any statistically significant differences to samples collected of 19.8% grain. Finally, an adjustment factor is presented to find the weighted proportion of sampled grains reflective of 15.2 cm thin layers in a 91 cm column for 19.8% and 24.8% MC dent corn.
