Apple ring rot, caused by the pathogenic fungus , has inflicted substantial economic losses and caused significant food safety concerns. In this study, a pimarane-type diterpenoid, diaporthein B (DTB), isolated from a marine-derived fungus, exhibited significant antifungal activity against , with an EC value of 8.8 μg/mL. Transcriptome, metabolome, and physiological assays revealed that DTB may target mitochondria and disrupt the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and oxidative phosphorylation processes. This interference led to increased accumulation of reactive oxygen species and subsequent lipid peroxidation, ultimately inhibiting fungal growth. Furthermore, DTB exhibited an inhibitory potency against apple ring rot at a concentration of 31.2 μg/mL, achieving rates ranging from 67.7 to 81.6% across four distinct apple cultivars. These results indicated that DTB could serve as a novel fungicide for controlling apple ring rot in apple cultivation, transportation, and storage.

E3 ligases are essential for ubiquitination and play a role in regulating various aspects of eukaryotic life. Ariadne (ARI) proteins, a subfamily of RBR (RING-between-RING) proteins, have been recognized as a new class of RING-finger E3 ligases. Recent research has shed light on their potential involvement in plants' responses to abiotic stress.

Histidine kinases (HKs) allow fungal cells to sense and respond to environmental stimuli. However, the biological role of HKs in Botryosphaeria dothidea, the causal agent of Botryosphaeria canker and apple ring rot, remains unknown. In this study, we identified and characterized the two-component histidine kinase BdHk1 in B.

Sleep tracking by consumers is becoming increasingly prevalent; yet, few studies have evaluated the accuracy of such devices. We sought to evaluate the accuracy of three devices (Oura Ring Gen3, Fitbit Sense 2, and Apple Watch Series 8) compared to the gold standard sleep assessment (polysomnography (PSG)). Thirty-five participants (aged 20-50 years) without a sleep disorder were enrolled in a single-night inpatient study, during which they wore the Oura Ring, Fitbit, and Apple Watch, and were monitored with PSG.
