FaMYB63 and FvWYRKY75 Activate FvPR10.14 Boosting Strawberry Immunity Against Powdery Mildew

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
In response to powdery mildew infection, strawberry enhances disease immunity by activating FvPR10.14 via a MYB63/WRKY75 transcriptional module through hormone‐ and ROS‐mediated signalling pathways. ABSTRACT Powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaera aphanis, poses a significant threat to strawberry production, while current chemical controls raise ...

Functional Traits Shape Seed–Rodent Interactions in a Subtropical Forest: Insights From Individual‐Based Tracking With Double‐Duplex PIT Tagging

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Using double‐duplex PIT tagging, this study examines how seed and rodent size traits shape interactions between four tree species and two‐rodent species in a subtropical forest, finding larger rodents prefer large seeds, whereas smaller ones favor small seeds, with size‐related behaviors structuring mutualism‐predation balances. These results highlight

Phytofabricated Silver Nanoparticles From Vaccinium arctostaphylos L.: Anticancer Activity Against Breast Cancer Cells via Apoptosis Induction and Growth Suppression

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study demonstrates that phytofabricated silver nanoparticles (VACAgNPs) from Vaccinium arctostaphylos L. exhibit significant anticancer activity against breast cancer cells, inducing apoptosis and suppressing growth in both hormone‐responsive (MCF‐7) and triple‐negative (4T1, MDA‐MB‐231) subtypes. The nanoparticles enhanced reactive oxygen species

Semiochemical applications for managing the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum Müller), a major pest of arable crops

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7288-7301, November 2025.
Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...
