Abstract: Tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum) are a major dietary source of antioxidants particularly lycopene which has much health benefits like reduced risk of health disease and cancer. Microorganisms are noted to be major limiting factors in the production of tomatoes. This study is thus aimed at determining microorganisms associated with tomato fruit yield in irrigated and rain fed systems.The soil, tomato fruit and tomatoes leaves were randomly sampled. Bacteria were identified using various biochemical tests while fungal isolates were screened using.....

Abstract: Retinaldehyde (or retinal) is a vitamin A derivative with increasing application in dermatology and aesthetics due to its clinical efficacy and excellent skin tolerance. Acting as a direct precursor of retinoic acid, it provides benefits similar to the most potent retinoids, but with fewer side effects and high tolerance. This review article presents the molecular mechanisms of Retinaldehyde, its main clinical indications and its comparison with retinol and retinoic acid in terms of efficacy, safety and tolerability. The methodology used was a narrative review of the literature based on articles published between 2000 and 2024 in the PubMed, Scielo and ScienceDirect databases........

Abstract: Climate change has emerged as one of the most defining challenges of the 21st century, exerting profound consequences on ecological balance. Among the most vulnerable components of this ecological chain are plants, which are indispensable for biodiversity, food production, and global carbon cycling. The repercussions are especially pronounced in fruit-bearing plants, whose biological and economic cycles are closely intertwined with climatic conditions........
