Beyond a dual role: how Purpureocillium lilacinum reprograms citrus metabolism for integrated biocontrol and growth promotion

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.

Phytochemical profiling and insecticidal activity of Moricandia sinaica across growth stages: experimental and molecular docking insights

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Stored food products are highly vulnerable to infestation by insects and mites, resulting in significant postharvest losses worldwide. Plant‐derived bioactive compounds represent promising eco‐friendly alternatives to synthetic pesticides.

Phytotoxicity Assessment of Ashes Generated From Household Combustion of Conventional Fuels, Mixed Fuels, and Municipal Waste

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The main aim of the study was to assess the toxicity of ash generated in household furnaces through the combustion of materials most commonly burned in individual households. The toxicity tests were conducted using plant bioassays with cress (Lepidium sativum), mustard (Sinapis) and sorghum (Sorghum) seeds.

Beyond Chemical Compliance: A Critical Review Toward Microbiome‐Informed Ecological Exit Criteria for Bioremediated Soils

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical compliance remains the usual endpoint for closing contaminated‐soil remediation projects, although it does not establish recovery of soil function or the durability of the post‐treatment state. This critical review examines when microbiological evidence can contribute to ecological closure decisions.

Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Natural Product Drug Discovery: From Computational Genome Mining to Clinical Translation

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural products (NPs) have historically yielded numerous therapeutic agents, yet their integration into modern drug discovery has been constrained by chemical complexity, low abundance, laborious dereplication, and limited target annotation.

Targeting UDP‐Bta06664 in Bemisia tabaci: A novel strategy to reduce tomato yellow leaf curl virus transmission by impairing insect vector feeding

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Tomato yellow leaf curl virus upregulates the Bemisia tabaci UDP‐glycosyltransferase gene UDP‐Bta06664. RNA interference (RNAi) silencing of this gene disrupts phloem feeding—delaying E1 and shortening E2—and reduces both virus acquisition and inoculation, highlighting its potential as an RNAi target.

Uptake, metabolism, and bioremediation of neonicotinoid insecticides in soil–plant systems: A review

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the uptake and metabolic transformation of neonicotinoid insecticides in plants, showing that some metabolites exhibit higher toxicity. We also critically assess promising bioremediation strategies using microbes and plant–microbe interactions to reduce residue contamination.

Impact of the GouM transporter on secondary metabolism activation and production yield in Streptomyces noursei strain CK‐15

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Overexpression of the gouM transporter gene in Streptomyces noursei CK‐15 enhances gougerotin production by 114% and activates silent biosynthetic gene clusters. This finding links transporter activity to metabolite efflux and secondary metabolism, offering a strategy for natural product discovery and strain optimization.

Chemical diversity and phylogenetic insights into Hawaiian ʻākia (Wikstroemia) species used in traditional fishing practices

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional fishing with plant‐based piscicides is a global practice in decline, facing increasing restrictions. We investigated the chemical diversity of endemic Wikstroemia species historically used to stun or poison fish in Hawaiʻi. Using 1‐H‐NMR, principal component analysis, targeted HPLC, and target‐capture sequencing, we characterized compounds ...

RNA degradomics and proteomics reveal the mechanism of dsProsβ1‐mediated proteasome targeting in Psylliodes chrysocephala

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
RNA degradomics revealed dsProsβ1‐derived siRNA‐mediated mRNA cleavage events, mainly at uracil‐guanine and adenine‐adenine pairs. Proteasome inhibition via dsProsβ1 increased mitochondrial and cytoskeletal proteins while reducing translation‐related and mRNA‐binding proteins.
