Spectral Characterization of the Life Stages and Physiological Responses of Diatraea saccharalis Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Larvae Parasitized by Cotesia flavipes Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 5, Page 436-452, May 2026.
Hyperspectral proximal sensing was used to characterize the life stages and physiological responses of Diatraea saccharalis and to detect parasitism by Cotesia flavipes. Distinct spectral signatures differentiated eggs, larval instars, pupae, and adults, as well as live, dead, and parasitized larvae.

Insights into the Interaction between the Biocontrol Agent Bacillus amyloliquefaciens QST 713, the Pathogen Monilinia fructicola and Peach Fruit

Agronomy
Brown rot disease caused by Monilinia fructicola is one of the most important peach fruit threats in the world. The use of biological control agents (BCAs), instead of synthetic fungicides, to successfully inhibit postharvest disease development is a ...

Mutual Relations Between Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Ralstonia solanacearum in Potato Brown Rot Disease

Potato Research
Abstract Potato brown rot disease can devastate potato production. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs) are known to boost crop output. This study examines the interaction between AMFs and Ralstonia solanacearum, focusing on their effects on tuber yield and brown rot incidence.

Neoscytalidium dimidiatum Associated With Canker Disease in Spondias mombin L. in Brazil

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT In 2023, Cajá trees (Spondias mombin) exhibiting symptoms of canker and resinosis were collected from a commercial plantation in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil. Affected plants displayed small, irregular cankers on the trunks and branches, accompanied by abundant resin exudation, which coalesced into extensive necrotic lesions.

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2939-2955, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

The C2H2‐GGAT Regulatory Module Fine‐Tunes Glutamate Homeostasis to Improve Fruit Flavour and Enhance Disease Resistance in Peach

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3282-3295, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Free amino acids (FAAs) play a fundamental role in determining fruit quality and stress adaptation, yet their genetic regulation remains poorly understood. Through an integrated approach combining metabolomic and sensory analyses of 120 peach (Prunus persica) hybrids, we identified glutamate as a key metabolite linking FAA content to umami ...

Fungal Pathogen Activity and Stress‐Dependent Responses of Grapevine Wood to Esca and Drought

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biotic and abiotic stresses alter the physiology of perennial plants, with consequences for fungal endophytes and disease expression. In grapevine, drought inhibits esca disease expression, but the underlying molecular interactions between the plant and fungi are unknown. We combined wood metatranscriptomics, metabolomics, and metabarcoding to
