Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Integrative genomic analyses reveal candidate genes for the Ur‐3 and Ur‐7 rust resistance loci in common bean

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Bean rust, caused by Uromyces appendiculatus, severely limits the productivity of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), an essential source of protein and micronutrients in human diets worldwide. Durable disease management relies primarily on host resistance; however, the molecular architecture of several key rust resistance loci remains ...

Genome‐wide association and genomic prediction of anthracnose (Colletotrichum dematium) resistance in spinach

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum dematium, has emerged as a major foliar disease that threatens spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) production. In this study, a diverse panel of 266 accessions was evaluated under field conditions to dissect the genetic architecture of anthracnose resistance.

Pan‐NLRome analysis uncovers genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics among rice, maize and sorghum

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat (NLR) genes constitute one of the largest families of plant immune receptors and are central to crop disease resistance. Rice (Oryza sativa L.), maize (Zea mays L.), and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) are major crops underpinning global food security, and enhancing their immunity is critical for ...

Comparative Transcriptomics Analysis Reveals the Differences in Transcription between Resistant and Susceptible Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Varieties in Response to Anthracnose

Plants
Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a herbaceous plant species in the family Solanaceae. Capsicum anthracnose is caused by the genus Colletotrichum. spp., which decreases pepper production by about 50% each year due to anthracnose. In this study, we evaluated

lincRNA6679 promotes FnPR1B expression via phosphorylation‐activated FnWRKY14 to enhance strawberry resistance to Botrytis cinerea

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1898-1918, June 2026.
In strawberry, Botrytis cinerea induces the expression of the long, intergenic non‐coding RNA lincRNA667，which upregulates the transcription factor gene FnWRKY14. FnWRKY14 then binds to the promoter of the pathogenesis‐related gene FnPR1B, enhancing strawberry resistance to B. cinerea.

The Transcription Factors HbWRKY29 and HbPTI5 cooperatively enhance rubber tree resistance to powdery mildew

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Upon Erysiphe quercicola infection, rubber HbWRKY29 is rapidly induced and physically interacts with HbPTI5 to trigger HR. HbWRKY29 binds the HbPTI5 promoter (W‐box), enhancing HbPTI5 expression, which activates HbTLP1 expression, leading to reinforced defence.

Poplar miR1447 Is a Negative Regulator of Disease Resistance Through the SA‐Dependent Pathway

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3616-3633, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Although microRNA1447 (miR1447) regulates poplar responses to abiotic stress and pest infestation, how miR1447 regulates poplar immunity against pathogens and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Here, we revealed that miR1447 functioned as a negative regulator of poplar disease resistance against fungal and bacterial ...
