Synthesis and Antifungal Activity of Pyrimidine Derivatives Containing an Amide Moiety

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021
In this study, 17 novel pyrimidine derivatives containing an amide moiety were synthesized. Then their in vitro antifungal activities against Botryosphaeria dothidea (B. dothidea), Phomopsis sp., and Botrytis cinereal (B. cinereal) were determined.

ApCtf1β‐Interacting Target Proteins BDPH1 and BDEUL12 Regulate Pathogenicity in Arthrinium phaeospermum

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study found that BDPH1 and BDEUL12 interact with Apctf1β. They regulate growth, development, and chemical stress response in Arthrinium phaeospermum, and are crucial for its pathogenicity. ABSTRACT Arthrinium phaeospermum is the primary pathogen responsible for shoot blight disease in Bambusa pervariabilis × Dendrocalamopsis grandis.

Novel Antifungal Scaffold Targeting Tubulin Overcomes Sclerotinia Sclerotiorum Resistance

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.
Addressing pesticide resistance, novel chromone‐acylhydrazone hybrids targeting fungal tubulin are synthesized. Compound G24 potently inhibited S. sclerotiorum (EC50 = 0.21µg mL−1) and demonstrated enhanced field performance via microencapsulation, offering a sustainable strategy against resistance and for global food security.

Overexpression of a Tonoplast Malate Transporter Gene Leads to Enhanced Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Apple

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 620-638, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Anthocyanins, a group of secondary metabolites synthesised in the phenylpropanoid pathway, largely determine the peel colour of fleshy fruits, but it is not known if their synthesis is linked to vacuolar malate accumulation that underlies fruit acidity.

Effects of Methyl Jasmonate on Fruit Quality and Disease Resistance of Mechanically Injured Banana Fruit During Storage

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Treatment with MeJA delays ripening and reduces membrane lipid peroxidation of mechanically injured banana fruit. Treatment with MeJA enhances antioxidant ability and disease resistance of mechanically injured banana fruit. 10 μM MeJA effectively maintains fruit quality of mechanically injured banana fruit than that of 20 and 50 μM MeJA.

Functionality Enhancement of Pullulan‐Based Composites for Food Packaging Applications

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Contemporary research in food packaging is focused on developing sustainable alternatives to petroleum‐based materials. Pullulan, a microbial biopolymer traditionally employed as a food additive, is harnessing interest for food packaging applications due to its exceptional film‐forming ability, biodegradability, and nontoxic nature.

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.

The VlMYB149‐VlHIPP30 Regulatory Module Enhances Grapevine Resistance to Botrytis cinerea by Activating the Antioxidant System and Copper Metabolism

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
The VlMYB149‐VlHIPP30 module collaboratively facilitates Cu2+ accumulation and activates the ROS scavenging pathway to enhance the resistance to grey mould in grapevine. ABSTRACT Grapevine, as an important economic crop around the world, has generally poor disease resistance in planting.

Fungal Species of Botryosphaeriaceae Associated With Avocado Dieback in Southern Spain

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
In southern Spain, water scarcity has favoured avocado diseases, causing branch dieback, mummified fruits and cankers. Between 2019 and 2022, 252 fungi were isolated; the most common were Neofusicoccum spp. and Lasiodiplodia sp. Their pathogenic role was confirmed, with Botryosphaeriaceae identified as the main cause of avocado dieback.
