Introgression of Resistance Against Leptosphaeria maculans From Brassica juncea Into Brassica napus

open access: yesPlant Pathology, EarlyView.
Introgression of blackleg‐specific resistance genes from Brassica juncea into B. napus was conducted. Genotyping/phenotyping found this material may contain previously uncharacterised resistance against the blackleg pathogen. ABSTRACT Blackleg disease is caused by the fungal plant pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans.

A Field‐Based Investigation of the Association Between Cotton Leafroll Dwarf Virus and Bronze Wilt‐Like Responses in Upland Cotton in Georgia

open access: yesPlant Pathology, EarlyView.
In Georgia, commercial upland cotton cultivars that expressed bronze wilt‐like responses consistently showed high copy numbers of cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLRDV) gene, particularly in late‐planted cotton. These observations parallel historical reports of bronze wilt and suggest an association between CLRDV infection and bronze wilt‐like symptom ...

Comparative Genomics of the Endosymbiont Cardinium Causing Reproductive Manipulation in Encarsia Parasitoid Wasps

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
We assembled four Cardinium hertigii draft genomes: cEina3 causes cytoplasmic incompatibility, cEhis1 induces parthenogenesis, cEper2 is associated with parthenogenesis, and cEina2 infects asymptomatically. All four strains are closely related and hosted by Encarsia parasitoid wasps, but key differences exist, including their metabolic potential and ...

Intercropping Broccoli‐Basil Reduces Aphid Growth: Spatio‐Temporal Modelling Across Scales and Lab Experiments

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Shifting from conventional to sustainable agriculture demands well‐designed experiments and robust analytical models to evaluate agroecological system performance and resilience. We modelled aphid population dynamics in broccoli monocultures and broccoli‐basil intercrops using spatio‐temporal approaches, informed by laboratory experiments on ...

Gram‐Negative Bacteria Across Spatial Scales: A Meta‐Analysis of Ant‐Associated Bacterial Communities Under Distinct Environmental Conditions

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Using a meta‐analysis, we estimated the proportion of Gram‐negative (GN) bacteria in ant microbiota across different environments, focusing on habitat and climate influences. Our findings show that ants from temperate regions and arboreal habitats harbor higher proportions of GN bacteria, potentially offering adaptive advantages in variable ...

Semiochemical applications for managing the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum Müller), a major pest of arable crops

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7288-7301, November 2025.
Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...

Characterisation of aphid antixenosis in aphid‐resistant ancestor wheat, Triticum monococcum

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7321-7329, November 2025.
A blend of 21 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from Sitobion avenae‐infested Triticum monococcum accessions MDR045 and MDR049 was identified and shown to induce antixenosis towards alate S. avenae. Abstract BACKGROUND Due to the increasing presence of insecticide resistance across cereal aphid populations, new aphid management strategies ...

Silicon fertilization in maize increases attractiveness of nocturnal herbivore‐induced plant volatiles to Spodoptera frugiperda natural enemies

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7423-7431, November 2025.
Silicon (Si) fertilization enhances the attractiveness of plant volatiles emitted by fall armyworm‐infested maize plant to the predatory earwig Doru luteipes by triggering the emission of the terpene neryl acetate. Abstract BACKGROUND Silicon (Si) fertilization has been well‐documented to enhance plant resistance against insect pests by increasing the ...
