Climatic factors, landscape composition and host plant traits co‐drive fruit infestation of unmanaged walnut trees by the invasive pest fly Rhagoletis completa (Cresson, 1929) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
The study examined multiscale factors influencing walnut fruit infestations by the invasive pest fly Rhagoletis completa. Infestation rates increased with fruit size, host tree abundance, grasslands, hedgerows and temperatures, but decreased with anthropogenic habitats and heavy spring rainfall.

Coffins From the Abusir Tomb of Nyankhseshat (AS 104) Through the Lens of Wood Analysis

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTThis article presents the results of an integrated Egyptological and anatomical study of wooden coffin fragments from the mastaba of Nyankhseshat at Abusir South (AS 104), dated to the early Fourth Dynasty. The assemblage includes remains of at least three coffins and probably of two wooden boxes. Wood analysis identified predominantly imported

Effects of White and Brown Rot Decay on Changes of Wood Ultrastructure

BioResources, 2014
Fungal decay results in gradual decomposition of compounds of wood cell walls. Mass loss of wood is usually applied to characterize the decay. However, mechanisms of brown and white rot decay are significantly different, resulting in different ...

Changes in Molecular Size Distribution of Cellulose during Attack by White Rot and Brown Rot Fungi [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1992
The kinetics of cotton cellulose depolymerization by the brown rot fungus Postia placenta and the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium were investigated with solid-state cultures. The degree of polymerization (DP; the average number of glucosyl residues per cellulose molecule) of ...

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Association mapping and genome prediction reveal a complex genetic architecture for resistance to black and frosty pod rot in cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) populations

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) production is severely constrained by black pod rot (BPR) and frosty pod rot (FPR), two major diseases that cause substantial yield losses across the tropics. Breeding for disease resistance remains challenging due to long generation intervals and the complex genetic control of disease responses. Here, we used genome‐

Ability of some species of fungi of the Basidiomycetes class to degrade cellulose and lignocellulose substrates

Acta Mycologica, 2014
Studies were carried-out on the ability of 18 strains of 15 white-rot and brown-rot basidiomycetons fungi to degrade wood components and to synthesize cellulolytic enzymes and laccase.

Metabolomics‐based study of the preservation mechanism of a tea saponin–cinnamaldehyde nanoemulsion applied to Xinyu tangerines

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 14, Page 8467-8480, November 2026.
Abstract Background The Xinyu tangerine is a geographical indication agricultural product from Jiangxi province, China. During postharvest storage, nutrient loss and pathogen‐induced decay reduce fruit quality. The selection of appropriate preservatives is therefore important for maintaining postharvest quality.
