A Meta-Analysis Reveals That the Protective Role of Silicon in Grasses Against Fungal Pathogens Depends on Infection Mechanism. [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Cell Environ
ABSTRACT Pathogen infection drives plant community structure and constrains global agricultural productivity. Silicon (Si) improves resistance to abiotic and herbivory stress, particularly in grasses, but relatively little attention has addressed Si‐mediated resistance to pathogens, nor has it tested how this varies according to the type of plant and ...

A new method to measure EC<sub>50</sub> reveals cultivar-specific fungicide resistance and very high diversity within experimental field populations of Zymoseptoria tritici. [PDF]

open access: yesPest Manag Sci
We isolated Zymoseptoria tritici strains from a diverse wheat field and quantified fungicide resistance using a novel plate assay. We found high diversity in fungicide sensitivity and host–fungicide–pathogen interactions. Abstract BACKGROUND Zymoseptoria tritici causes Septoria tritici blotch (STB), the most damaging wheat disease in Europe. In Europe,

Single and dual RPA‐CRISPR/Cas assays for point‐of‐need detection of Stewart's wilt pathogen (Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii) of corn and Maize dwarf mosaic virus

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1988-1999, April 2025.
Schematic diagram of the single and dual RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a/13a diagnostic assays for the detection of Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii and Maize dwarf mosaic virus. The validated assays provide a useful and sensitive molecular tool for detecting two quarantine pathogens of maize within a minimal resource framework suitable for fast‐tracking the ...

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Systemic acquired resistance: an emerging role for jasmonates in local signal biogenesis, translocation and distal signal decoding

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3142-3158, September 2026.
Jasmonate signalling underpins establishment of plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Activation of the hypersensitive response (HR) not only contains the pathogen but establishes broad spectrum resistance in unchallenged leaves. The strong burst of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species initiating the HR results in lipid peroxidation (illustrated by ...

Contribution of Fallen Leaves to Primary Inoculum and the Progress of Glomerella Leaf Spot in Apple Orchards

open access: yesJournal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Glomerella leaf spot (GLS), caused by Colletotrichum spp., persists between seasons mainly in fallen leaves on the orchard floor and in dormant plant tissues, which act as primary inoculum sources for disease initiation in spring. Because early epidemic development is strongly dependent on the availability of primary inoculum, practices such ...

Botanical treatment enhances biochemical responses in enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) clones

open access: yesJSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 236-247, June 2026.
Abstract Background Bacterial wilt of enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is a severe disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, resulting in complete crop failure and considerable damage. This study assessed the biochemical responses of two enset clones (one resistant and one susceptible) when inoculated with the pathogen and ...

The Pathogenesis‐Related Protein 4b Induced by Rice Stripe Virus Enhances Host's Antiviral Defence

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
OsPR4b is induced by RSV to inhibit viral infection via regulating RNA metabolism and cell wall reinforcement, while its knockdown modulates NAC/MYB/ERF/WRKY family genes and enhances viral accumulation. ABSTRACT Rice stripe virus (RSV) causes rice stripe disease, which poses a serious threat to rice production.

The barley–malt–beer chain: A process and food safety approach

open access: yesJSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 5, Page 144-159, May 2026.
Abstract This review addresses the current state of knowledge on the barley–malt–beer chain and its main physical, chemical, and microbiological contaminants, with particular emphasis on spoilage microorganisms and their toxic metabolites. The barley–malt–beer production chain represents a mature and globally relevant agro‐industrial sector that ...
