Welcome Pathogens: Transient Heat Dampens Immune Responses to Acibenzolar‐S‐Methyl in Apple Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1229-1248, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change affects plant‐pathogen interactions, with disease outcome varying depending on the pathosystem and environmental scenario. In Arabidopsis, a thermo‐sensitive module of salicylic acid (SA) signalling makes immunity vulnerable to heat.

Rhizobium tropici Metabolites Induce Defence‐Related Genes and Promote Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum Stem Rot Control in Chickpeas

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.
Concentrated metabolites from Rhizobium tropici (CM‐RT) were evaluated for their ability to induce resistance and control Sclerotinia stem rot in chickpeas. Root application of CM‐RT reduced disease incidence when compared to acibenzolar‐S‐methyl. Gene expression analysis revealed upregulation of defence‐related genes linked to jasmonic acid, ethylene,

Leaf Developmental Stage Influences Disease Resistance in Tomato

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2025.
To understand how leaf development impacts disease resistance, we examined the immunity of leaves at distinct developmental stages, exploring the role of hormonal pathways and leaf structure. Our findings reveal that distinct disease responses of different developmental staged leaves are determined primarily by the ratio between salicylic acid and ...

Antimicrobial Peptides as Part of the Arsenal of Constitutive and Inducible Seed Defences in Tomato Seed Exudates Against Pathogens

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2025.
Tomato seeds possess genotype‐dependent constitutive and inducible antimicrobial defences, enhanced by elicitors like methyl‐jasmonate, including antimicrobial molecules, offering insights for improving seed protection strategies. ABSTRACT Seed immune responses are an underexplored area in host–pathogen interactions, leaving seed–pathogen interactions ...

Effect of Pest Control Strategies on Arthropod Pests of Apple in Europe: A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 957-987, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop in Europe. More than 200 phytophagous arthropod species thrive in European apple orchards, several of which are economically important pests. Due to the pest pressure on apple production, consumer demand for residue‐free products and current policies to make food production in the European ...
