LysM protein BdLM1 of Botryosphaeria dothidea plays an important role in full virulence and inhibits plant immunity by binding chitin and protecting hyphae from hydrolysis

Frontiers in Plant Science
Botryosphaeria dothidea infects hundreds of woody plants and causes a severe economic loss to apple production. In this study, we characterized BdLM1, a protein from B. dothidea that contains one LysM domain.

Pollinator Visitation Alters Cranberry Flower Fungal Communities in Wisconsin Cranberry Agroecosystems

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
A two‐year study reveals shared fungal communities between cranberry flowers and insect visitors, including Apis mellifera, Bombus species, solitary bees and hover flies. Greater fungal richness was present in pollinator‐accessible flowers compared to those that were tented.

Tomato transcriptome and mutant analyses suggest a role for plant stress hormones in the interaction between fruit and Botrytis cinerea. [PDF]

, 2013
Fruit-pathogen interactions are a valuable biological system to study the role of plant development in the transition from resistance to susceptibility. In general, unripe fruit are resistant to pathogen infection but become increasingly more susceptible

3‐Methyl‐1‐Butanol Enhances Postharvest Resistance of Red Grapes to Botrytis cinerea by Activating Phenylpropanoid Metabolism and Antioxidant Defences

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2673-2684, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Grey mould, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is a significant postharvest disease leading to substantial economic losses in the grape industry. This study investigated the regulatory mechanism of 3‐methyl‐1‐butanol (3M1B), a yeast volatile substance, on B. cinerea resistance in red grapes (Vitis vinifera L.).

Conflicting adaptations in an inhibitory feedback circuit

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 7, Page 3005-3031, 1 April 2026.
Abstract figure legend We studied activity‐dependent adaptation in the fruit fly Drosophila’s memory centre, the mushroom body. Here, excitatory Kenyon cells (KCs) receive feedback inhibition from the anterior paired lateral (APL) neuron. When KCs are artificially overactivated for 24 h, both KCs and APL reduce their sensitivity to excitation (‘↓ Exc’,

The DNA-binding with one finger (Dof) transcription factor MdCDof3L contributes to resistance against Botryosphaeria dothidea in apple

Phytopathology Research
Dof (DNA-binding with one finger) transcription factors play key roles in regulating plant gene expression, thereby influencing developmental regulation, stress response, and metabolic network construction.

The Promise of Low‐Cost Metal‐Oxide Semiconductor Gas Sensors for Precision Agriculture

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2026.
Low‐cost MOS (metal‐oxide semiconductor) gas sensors are redefining smart farming. This review explores their role across soil monitoring, crop health assessment, and post‐harvest management. By addressing challenges of selectivity, signal drift, and data fusion, this work envisions MOS gas sensors as pivotal tools for intelligent, data‐driven, and ...

The Relationship between rDNA-ITS Sequences and Biological Characteristics of the Apple Ring Rot Pathogen Botryosphaeria berengeriana de Not f. sp. piricola (Nose)

Fungal Genomics & Biology, 2012
Ten fungal strains that cause apple ring rot disease (Physalospora piricola Nose) were used to study the role of ribosomal DNA-internal transcribed spacer (rDNA-ITS) in classifying and identifying the pathogen Botryosphaeria berengeriana de Not f. sp.
