This study reported an effective method for the degradation of Chieh-qua (Benincasa hispida var. Chieh-qua How) polysaccharides (BHCP) by a hydrogen peroxide-ascorbic acid oxidation (HO-V) system. The degradation conditions were optimized using a Box-Behnken response surface design as concentration of HO-V 19.5 mM, degradation temperature 46.4 °C and degradation time 1.0 h. The average molecular weight was decreased and total sugar content was raised of the degraded polysaccharide (DBHCP). Two refined degraded polysaccharides (DBHCP-1, DBHCP-2) were purified and prepared, and their structures were analyzed by chemical and spectral analysis. The in vitro experiments showed that degraded polysaccharides (DBHCP and DBHCP-1) have better antioxidant and anti-tyrosinase activity than natural polysaccharide BHCP. These findings support the potential application of Chieh-qua polysaccharides in the food and medical industries.

Map-based cloning revealed BhAPRR2, encoding a two-component response-regulating protein that regulates the black peel formation of mature fruit in wax gourd. Wax gourd is an economically significant vegetable crop, and peel color is a crucial agronomic trait that influences its commercial value. Although genes controlling light green or white peel have been cloned in wax gourd, the genetic basis and molecular mechanism underlying black peel remain unclear.

The gene regulating fruit pedicel length in wax gourd was finely mapped to a 211 kb region on chromosome 8. The major gene, Bch08G017310 (BhGA2ox3), was identified through forward genetics. Fruit pedicel length (FPL) is a crucial trait in wax gourd (Benincasa hispida) that affects fruit development and cultivation management.

Article Synopsis
- * Using advanced sequencing techniques, researchers found that the major gut bacterial communities were from the phyla Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, with notable genera such as Providencia and Klebsiella.
- * The presence of stress from the insecticide led to a decrease in certain bacteria (Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Klebsiella) and an increase in others (Providencia, Pectobacterium), indicating that insecticides significantly disrupt the gut microbiota of Z. cucurbitae.

In this study, a strain with good exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing ability was isolated from the fermented Benincasa hispida and identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Z-1. Its EPS production was further improved by HO stress under optimized culture conditions, increasing from 180 ± 0.45 mg/L to 409.
