Distribution and Occurrence of Cercospora Leaf Spot of Mungbean (Vigna radiata) and Associated Agronomic Factors in Ethiopia

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) is a major cash‐generating pulse crop in Ethiopia's lowlands, serving as a key source of plant‐based protein and contributing to soil fertility. However, its production is severely constrained by Cercospora Leaf Spot (CLS), a destructive fungal disease.

HvarAKR1B1‐mediated tolerance in Hippodamia variegata: Deciphering the metabolic adaptation and fitness costs under prolonged starvation

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7903-7914, August 2026.
Starvation stress significantly affected the growth and development of Hippodamia variegata. Combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis and RNA interference verification revealed that HvarAKR1B1 may be involved in the response of Hippodamia variegata to starvation stress.

Testing optimal defense theory: Root resistance selection in chicory (Cichorium intybus) reduces foliar defense and alters aphid performance and feeding behavior

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7951-7960, August 2026.
Root‐focused resistance in chicory reduces defenses in leaves, impairing root aphids but enhancing foliar aphid performance. Selecting root resistance can create unintended trade‐offs across plant organs. Abstract BACKGROUND Plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of herbivores at both aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) levels, involving ...

Carbon, Water, and Energy Flux Dynamics in Different Cropping Systems in the Great Lakes Region

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study examined carbon (C), water, and energy exchanges across different cropping systems in the Great Lakes region using eddy covariance (EC) fluxes from an agricultural flux tower site (CA‐TPA) in southern Ontario, Canada. The site was cultivated with corn in 2020 and 2021, sweet potato in 2022, and tobacco in 2023. The site was a strong

Using thermal death time models to analyze cold stress resistance across Drosophila species

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2363-2378, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Chill susceptible insects such as Drosophila are vulnerable to progressive disruption of homeostasis during cold stress, and low‐temperature exposure is a key factor affecting their physiology and distribution.
