The response of fungal community on citrus fruit surface to the application of Metschnikowia citriensis

Biological Control
Metschnikowia citriensis is an antagonistic yeast that was isolated from citrus systems, effectively controls postharvest green mold, blue mold, and sour rot in citrus fruits. This study explored its biocontrol mechanisms by treating citrus fruits with 1

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

High temperatures will likely limit establishment success of the Brazilian peppertree thrips, Pseudophilothrips ichini (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) in the USA, despite variation in microhabitat thermal environments

Biological Control
Biological control of the invasive tree, Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi, is under investigation to improve conservation and restoration of native plant communities in the continental USA.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Controlling Riptortus pedestris (Hemiptera: Alydidae) using Ooencyrtus utetheisae (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae)

Biological Control
Riptortus pedestris (Hemiptera: Alydidae) is an important pest that affects soybean cultivation in East Asia. In the present study, the ability of Ooencyrtus utetheisae (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) to provide biological control of R. pedestris was evaluated

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Effects of tomato treatments with commercial formulations of entomopathogenic fungi on the pest Tuta absoluta and the predator Macrolophus pygmaeus

Biological Control
Tuta absoluta is a devasting pest causing severe yield losses in most tomato-growing areas. Macrolophus pygmaeus is a generalist predator released in tomato crop to control T. absoluta.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Coniothyrium minitans: A biocontrol agent for sustainable management of Sclerotinia-induced diseases

Biological Control
Sclerotinia spp. are globally distributed phytopathogens responsible for economically significant diseases in a wide range of host plants, including soybean, sunflower, canola, lettuce, cabbage, and carrot.
