Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biotic stresses, particularly Verticillium wilt (VW), lead to a global decline in cotton yields. Here, we demonstrate that ectopic expression of ScALDH21, a gene from the desiccation‐tolerant moss Syntrichia caninervis Mitt. and absent in angiosperms, enhances cotton's resistance to VW.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3573-3585, July 2026.ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5921-5933, 15 August 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Soybean underpins Brazil's agricultural, yet its sustainability is threatened by lepidopteran pests such as Anticarsia gemmatalis. Although insect‐resistant cultivars have long been associated with the constitutive accumulation of quercetin‐derived flavonols, the biochemical mechanisms underlying this resistance remain poorly ...
