Exploring the Antifungal Potential of the Brown Macroalga Hormophysa triquetra: Morphological Disruptions and Structural Changes in Plant Pathogens

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.

Modulation of Quorum Sensing and Virulence Gene Expression in Escherichia coli by Extracts of Physalis alkekengi

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Root extracts of Physalis alkekengi were examined for activity against multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli. The ethanolic extract suppressed bacterial growth, lowered biofilm formation by ~63%, and markedly reduced expression of luxS and fimH. Findings highlight P.

Red era: Dyeing yak hair fibres red with in situ generated silver nanoparticles using silver nitrate and a flavonoid‐containing plant extract

open access: yesColoration Technology, Volume 142, Issue 3, Page 439-455, June 2026.
Abstract Plants and their extracts have been used for dyeing fabrics, skin and hair for thousands of years and have been experiencing a revival in the last years due to increasing health risks arising from oxidative hair dye precursors. We developed a novel two‐step method to dye keratin fibres based on in situ formed silver nanoparticles including a ...

Exploring Taphrina deformans, the Springtime Scourge of Peach

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review integrates current knowledge on host–pathogen interactions, epidemiological processes, resistance mechanisms and peach‐resistant varieties, while critically identifying key knowledge gaps. It provides the first comprehensive, integrative description of the Taphrina deformans life cycle in relation to the annual developmental cycle of the ...

Role of a Synonymous Mutation at Codon 178 in P1 That Attenuates Potato Virus Y‐Induced Tobacco Vein Necrosis and Its Application for Expressing Human Interferon

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
A synonymous mutation at P1 K178 attenuates PVY virulence and abolishes tobacco vein necrosis. This attenuated vector serves as a high‐efficiency plant bioreactor for the production and purification of recombinant human interferons. ABSTRACT Plant virus‐based vectors are gaining significant attention as bioreactors for recombinant protein production ...
