We Are Dying to Eat You: Cannibalism and Disease Transmission Under Global Climate Change

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), a devastating agricultural pest that can be infected by a lethal virus, readily cannibalize conspecifics. The armyworm in the photo has just consumed a smaller conspecific—note the head capsule of the victim in its mandibles. Cannibalistic consumption can impact disease transmission.

From Rhizosphere to Resistance: Microbe‐Plant Interactions in Eco‐Smart Biocontrol

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Conceptual framework of eco‐smart biocontrol: Root exudates released by plants shape rhizosphere microbial community assembly by selectively recruiting beneficial microorganisms. These microbes suppress phytopathogens through direct mechanisms such as antibiosis, parasitism, enzyme production, and niche competition, while simultaneously activating ...

Dose‐dependent efficacy of a novel dsRNA‐based solution containing vadescana for Varroa destructor control

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9974-9983, October 2026.
Vadescana is a novel dsRNA‐based product that targets Varroa fecundity. Vadescana applied at 4 g/brood box in one application was most effective at reducing Varroa populations for up to 18 weeks. Abstract BACKGROUND A novel dsRNA‐based product, containing a molecule called vadescana, interferes with Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman) fecundity ...

Glucuronyl Glucosyloleanolate: A Safe and Potent AI‐Discovered Depigmenting Saponin

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Saponins are amphiphilic glycosides found in plants. They have long been used in traditional Asian remedies for their anti‐inflammatory, protective, and rejuvenating properties. One representative, Glucuronyl Glucosyloleanolate (GGO), was recently discovered using a combination of artificial intelligence and experimental testing as a ...

PmWRKY‐10 Enhances Pine Wilt Disease Resistance by Promoting Pinosylvin Monomethyl Ether Biosynthesis Through Transcriptional Activation of PmPMT2‐1

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
We identified a PmWRKY‐10→PmPMT2‐1→PME defence pathway in Pinus massoniana against pine wilt disease. PmWRKY‐10 activates PmPMT2‐1 to promote the accumulation of the nematicidal metabolite PME. This discovery reveals the mechanism of stilbene‐mediated resistance and provides key genetic targets for forest management.
