Direct and indirect effects of elevated CO2, warming and drought on plant–consumer interactions of Plantago lanceolata

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Experimental treatments of warming, elevated CO2, drought and their interactions had direct and indirect (plant‐trait‐mediated) effects on field Plantago lanceolata consumption and feeding preferences of the locust Locusta migratoria. The effects largely differed between consumption types, despite being studied on the same species in the same system ...

Accumulation of Histidine Reduce the Susceptibility of Vibrio splendidus Persister Cells to Tetracycline

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
Histidine accumulation promotes tetracycline‐induced persister formation in V. splendidus. It enhances membrane potential and upregulating the efflux pump gene, thereby reducing antibiotic susceptibility. ABSTRACT Vibrio splendidus is an opportunistic pathogen widely distributed in marine environments, animal tissues and seabed sediments. It can infect

A Joint Pest Management Model for the Bean Fly Complex, Ophiomyia spencerella and Ophiomyia phaseoli (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 882-889, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The common bean is an important crop in Eastern Africa for smallholder farmers, yet yields are often reduced due to pests, particularly Ophiomyia spencerella and Ophiomyia phaseoli. These species are partially sympatric and commonly known as the bean fly. Here, based on the similarity of their life history and developmental biology, field data

Melatonin seed priming: A climate‐smart, green strategy to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2942-2975, August 2026.
This review synthesizes how melatonin seed priming preconditions seeds to enhance tolerance against diverse abiotic stresses. It highlights the underlying mechanisms and proposes an integrative roadmap of advanced molecular and breeding tools to design next‐generation, stress‐smart plants.

Decoding MAPK cascades in plant immunity: Activation, regulation, integration, and pathogen manipulation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 3000-3024, August 2026.
This review focuses on mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and summarizes how plants regulate and integrate MAPK signaling in modulating plant immune responses. It also examines the effectors pathogens have evolved to manipulate MAPK activation and thereby inhibit plant immunity.

Strigolactone‐mediated architecture regulation and stress resilience: Insights and innovations for crop breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2548-2576, August 2026.
This review summarizes the discovery, biosynthesis, and transport of strigolactone, and the D14‐D3/MAX2‐D53/SMXLs signaling module. It highlights diverse roles of strigolactone in plant architecture, stress responses, and crop breeding, including species‐specific functions, hormonal crosstalk, and agricultural applications.

Beneath the Bark: Molecular Determinants of Adaptation and Infection in Bacterial Pathogens of Woody Hosts

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Bacterial pathogens colonise woody hosts by integrating metabolic adaptation, effector‐mediated immune suppression, cell wall remodelling and EPS‐ and toxin‐supported persistence. ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens of woody plants represent a pervasive yet underexplored threat to global agriculture and forestry, causing devastating diseases in fruit trees ...

VARYING INOCULUM LEVELS OF BACTERIA-NEMATODES AND THE SEVERITY OF TOMATO BACTERIAL WILT

Annals of Tropical Research, 1980
Development of bacterial wilt was consistently earlier on plants inoculated with both bacterium (Pseudomonas solanacearum E.F. Smith) and nematode Meloidogyne incognita Chitwood) compared to those inoculated with the bacterium alone.

Ectopic Expression of ScALDH21 From a Desert Moss Enhances Cotton Resistance to Verticillium Wilt via the Modulation of Jasmonates and Phenylpropanoid Pathways

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4916-4932, August 2026.
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.

Resisting Xylella fastidiosa: xylem anatomical changes in the susceptible olive cultivar Cellina di Nardò after long‐term infection

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1628-1640, August 2026.
After long‐term infection, the susceptible O. europaea cultivar Cellina di Nardò modified its wood anatomical traits as an adaptive response to counteract Xylella fastidiosa, exhibiting spontaneous canopy restoration. Abstract The Xylella fastidiosa subsp.
