Litsea cubeba Essential Oil Reduces Postharvest Blueberry Rot by Inducing Cell Membrane Damage and Reactive Oxygen Species Accumulation in Alternaria alternata

Future Postharvest and Food, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 220-233, June 2026.
Litsea cubeba essential oil (LCEO) reduces blueberry rot while maintaining quality. It disrupts the cellular structure and membranes of Alternaria alternata, causing solute leakage, while simultaneously inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) damage in the pathogen.

Effect of Chitosan, Aloe vera Gel and Coconut Oil Edible Coatings on Postharvest Quality and Shelf Life of Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) Under Ambient Storage

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Postharvest application of eco‐friendly edible coatings consisting of chitosan solution (CH), Aloe vera gel (AVG), and coconut oil (CO) on strawberry fruit under ambient conditions. Six distinct formulations (CH, AVG, CO, CH + AVG, CH + CO, and AVG + CO) along with a distilled water (control) were analyzed.

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Genetic architecture of angular leaf spot resistance in cultivated strawberry shaped by epistasis and genotype‐by‐environment interactions

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Angular leaf spot (ALS), caused by Xanthomonas fragariae, is a bacterial disease that limits strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) productivity worldwide. Although major resistance loci have been identified in wild Fragaria species, their introgression into elite germplasm remains constrained by linkage drag and inconsistent inheritance. To dissect

Rapid Clearance of Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae Spores by Freshwater Sponge Ephydatia muelleri: Potential Implications for Controlling Proliferative Kidney Disease in Salmonids

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Host–parasite interactions are influenced by both abiotic and biotic factors. While abiotic drivers, particularly temperature, have received considerable attention in recent years due to global climate change, the role of biotic factors remains comparatively underexplored.

lincRNA6679 promotes FnPR1B expression via phosphorylation‐activated FnWRKY14 to enhance strawberry resistance to Botrytis cinerea

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1898-1918, June 2026.
In strawberry, Botrytis cinerea induces the expression of the long, intergenic non‐coding RNA lincRNA667，which upregulates the transcription factor gene FnWRKY14. FnWRKY14 then binds to the promoter of the pathogenesis‐related gene FnPR1B, enhancing strawberry resistance to B. cinerea.

Landscape Genomic Tools Can Inform Future Rootstock and Farmland Selection for an Agricultural Tree Nut From Its Wild Relatives

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 11, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is threatening crop yield of a broad range of agricultural species, impacting global food security and trade. Crop wild relatives may contain climate adaptations that can be quickly introduced into cultivars, especially in perennial tree crops that use rootstock.

The Transcription Factors HbWRKY29 and HbPTI5 cooperatively enhance rubber tree resistance to powdery mildew

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Upon Erysiphe quercicola infection, rubber HbWRKY29 is rapidly induced and physically interacts with HbPTI5 to trigger HR. HbWRKY29 binds the HbPTI5 promoter (W‐box), enhancing HbPTI5 expression, which activates HbTLP1 expression, leading to reinforced defence.

Chestnut brown rot and Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi: characterization of the disease and of the causal agent in Portugal

, 2021
Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is a nutritious food with high social and economic impact in Portugal. Fungal infection and rots lead to great economic and quality losses in stored chestnut. The fungus Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi (syn. Gnomoniopsis castaneae) is currently considered one of the major threats to the chestnut chain worldwide ...
