Assessing essential oils from Macaronesia: a study on their efficacy against phytopathogenic and obligate biotrophic fungi

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 421-432, January 2026.
Essential oils (EOs) extracted from eight culinary herbs and spices were evaluated via direct‐contact bioassays, both in vitro and in vivo, against three species of phytopathogenic fungi and one obligatory biotrophic fungus. Phenylpropanoid‐rich EOs presented the strongest antifungal activity in both bioassays with the phytopathogenic and the obligate ...

Recent Advances in Lemongrass Essential Oil: Food Safety, Preservation, and Bioactivity in Food Systems

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Lemongrass essential oil (LGEO) has gained recognition as a natural preservative in food systems due to its distinctive phytochemical composition and multifunctional bioactivities. Dominated by citral and complemented by terpenes and phenolic compounds, LGEO demonstrates potent antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antibiofilm, and antioxidant

The Roles of Plant MicroRNAs in Defence Against Pathogens

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
miRNAs modulate plant immunity against various pathogens, including fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes and oomycetes, by targeting pathogen effectors and modulating hormonal signalling. ABSTRACT MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of noncoding RNAs that play important roles in regulating gene expression.

Isolation of Burkholderia sp. HQB-1, A Promising Biocontrol Bacteria to Protect Banana Against Fusarium Wilt Through Phenazine-1-Carboxylic Acid Secretion

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Fusarium wilt is a devastating soil-borne fungal disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc). In recent years, some antifungal bacteria have been applied for the prevention and biocontrol of pathogenic fungi. In our study, a bacterial strain

Leaf hyperspectral reflectance detects pre‐visual stress to Fusarium wilt in strawberries

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum, threatens global food security and high‐value crops like strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa) in California. Traditional detection, reliant on visual symptoms, often comes too late for intervention. This study uses leaf‐level hyperspectral reflectance to detect physiological changes in resistant and ...

FaMYB63 and FvWYRKY75 Activate FvPR10.14 Boosting Strawberry Immunity Against Powdery Mildew

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
In response to powdery mildew infection, strawberry enhances disease immunity by activating FvPR10.14 via a MYB63/WRKY75 transcriptional module through hormone‐ and ROS‐mediated signalling pathways. ABSTRACT Powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaera aphanis, poses a significant threat to strawberry production, while current chemical controls raise ...
