MdRLKT1–MdRAX2–MdMKS1 Module Positively Regulating Resistance to Cytospora mali in Apple

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Valsa canker (caused by Cytospora mali = Valsa mali. C. mali) is one of the most destructive diseases affecting apple cultivation. The scarcity of natural germplasm resources with high resistance and immunity underscores the importance of exploring plant immune regulation factors of disease‐resistant breeding.

ZmWRKY29 Transcriptionally Represses ZmRBOHC to Attenuate ROS Production and Facilitates Gibberella Stalk Rot Susceptibility in Maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gibberella stalk rot (GSR), caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum, severely threatens maize production. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying maize resistance to GSR remain poorly understood. Here, we have identified ZmWRKY29 as a transcriptional repressor induced by F.

CitPH4 Confers Resistance to Citrus Canker by Activating Papain‐Like Cysteine Protease

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Citrus canker, a devastating disease caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc), poses a significant threat to global citrus production due to the high susceptibility of nearly all commercial citrus cultivars to it. Although transcription factor Citrus PH4 (CitPH4) is well known for regulating fruit acidity, its potential role in plant ...

Pinus‐derived membrane vesicles disrupt pathogenic metabolism in fungi

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Needle‐derived vesicles from pine trees impair fungal metabolism and growth, offering a sustainable strategy to control pine pitch canker disease. Abstract Much of what we know about the biological impacts of vesicles (MVs) is derived from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Phenotypic scoring of canola blackleg severity using machine learning image analysis

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Canola blackleg is a fungal disease that causes significant yield loss and plant death of infected canola (Brassica napus L., Brassica rapa L., Brassica juncea L.) fields worldwide. One of the most effective methods for controlling blackleg is through the cultivation of resistant varieties.

Disarming the Pathogen's Metabolic Weapon: A Novel Route to Durable Disease Resistance

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
Two routes to sugar acquisition in pathogenic bacteria and corresponding ‘pathogen‐starvation’ strategies. TAL effectors activate plant SWEET transporters to promote sucrose efflux into the apoplast, which can be blocked by editing SWEET promoter effector‐binding elements to prevent TAL binding. The T3E AvrBs2 converts host UDP‐galactose into xanthosan,

Dry Bean Cocoa Production in Papua New Guinea: Do IPDM Inputs Pay Off?

Asia &the Pacific Policy Studies, Volume 13, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Cocoa is Papua New Guineaʼs (PNG) third‐largest agricultural export, supporting about two million smallholder farmers. Despite integrated pest and disease management (IPDM) systems to improve yields, adoption remains low. We surveyed two cocoa‐growing households—one near Balima (Madang Province) and the other near Manetai (Bougainville)—and ...

First report of jackfruit decline caused by Phytophthora spp. in Bangladesh

Fundamental and Applied Agriculture, 2020
A survey was conducted at Gazipur, one of the major jackfruit producing districts in Bangladesh where decline syndromes were frequently observed. The characteristic symptoms of jackfruit decline included trunk canker, wilting, dieback of the canopy and ...

Cassava Endophytic Bacteriome as Potential Biocontrol Agents Against Three Crop Phytopathogenic Fungi

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Eighty‐four endophytic bacteria from cassava were assessed for antagonistic activity against phytopathogens Colletotrichum siamense, Colletotrichum sublineola and Phytophthora infestans infecting cassava, sorghum and potato, respectively. Fourteen endophytic bacteria exhibited antifungal activity against the three phytopathogens, of which four ...

First Report of Ophiostoma clavatum and Fusarium verticillioides Associated With Ips acuminatus‐Infested Scots Pine in Western Ukraine

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study provides the first record of Ophiostoma clavatum associated with Ips acuminatus in Ukraine, and the first evidence of Fusarium verticillioides coexisting with ophiostomatoid fungi in infested Scots pines. This fungal association may contribute to the decline of Scots pine stands.
