The tree‐parasitic fungus Cryphonectria carpinicola discovered on European chestnut and European hornbeam in Azerbaijan

EPPO Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract The ascomycetous fungus Cryphonectria carpinicola is typically found in its asexual form on the European hornbeam, and its sexual state has only recently been discovered in deadwood of different Carpinus species in Japan. Recently, this fungus has been added to the EPPO Alert List due to its increasing incidence in the EPPO region and a ...

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.

The grapevine microbiota: A review on the possible impacts of plant protection programs on phyllosphere microorganisms

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
This review highlights recent advances in understanding how plant protection programs and alternative fungicides affect the taxonomic composition of the grapevine phyllosphere microbiota. Bacterial and fungal communities are primarily shaped by the plant compartment, vineyard location, and sampling time. Plant protection programs generally have a minor

Effect of Botryosphaeria Stem Canker Disease on the Anatomical Structure of Eucalyptus Wood

Forest Science and Technology
Eucalyptus clones have been widely planted in Uganda to cope with the increasing demand for wood. However, the newly introduced clones are susceptible to attack by Botryosphaeria canker disease. Canker diseases have been reported to affect wood formation

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,

Climate‐Driven Food Loss: The Case of Postharvest Tomato Losses in Southern Tanzania

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Increased weather challenges propelled by climate change are projected to significantly impact postharvest operations, threatening the livelihoods of most small‐scale farmers in several parts of Africa. While research on the effects of climate variability on food production exists, less attention has been given to the impacts of climate change

Response of Fungal Communities to Anthropogenic Disturbances in a Tropical Forest

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Conversion of forests to agricultural land leads to a decline in soil biodiversity and it affects the ecosystem services that they provide. The rising population around Mt. Kenya forest and an increase in demand for land and forest resources has led to deforestation. However, the impact on fungal communities remains unknown.

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 ...

Distribution of Eutypella Canker in Sycamore Is Driven by Proximity to Infected Forest Sites, High Precipitation and Moderate Temperatures

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Eutypella parasitica, the causal agent of Eutypella canker on maple species, is an invasive forest pathogen recently introduced to Europe. Due to the wide distribution of susceptible Acer species, further spread across European forests is expected.
