Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT Plutella xylostella, diamondback moth, is a major invasive worldwide pest. In Australia, a local Plutella known as P. australiana is almost morphologically indistinguishable from P. xylostella. Therefore, we developed a PCR–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) assay targeting the mitochondrial COI gene to differentiate the two ...

Optimal timing and rate of nitrogen fertilizer use: An integrated network technology approach
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 3, Page 856-873, May 2026.Abstract Both the rate and timing of crop fertilizer application play an important role in agricultural productivity. However, inefficient fertilizer use can significantly increase production costs, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. To capture both the spatial heterogeneity and dynamic nature of this problem, we develop a multi‐stage ...

Novel Solid Fat Alternative: Optimization of Corn: Hazelnut Oil/Carnauba Wax Oleogel System
Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2026.Oleogels were optimized based on selected parameters. The addition of rosemary essential oil resulted in an increase in the bioactive properties of the oleogels. It is thought that the produced oleogels can be used as an alternative to solid fats. ABSTRACT The oleogel formulation was optimized using a Box–Behnken response surface methodology design ...

Deep roots through time and crops: insight from five seasons at DeepRootLab
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2670-2688, May 2026.Summary Deep‐rooted crops accessing water and nutrients from deep soil layers enhance the resource base for crop production. However, studying these roots in field conditions is labour‐intensive, limiting research scope. We established a field root research facility with 48 plots for replicated experiments.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 2516-2530, May 2026.ABSTRACT Hydroxycinnamoyl tyramine conjugates are phenolamides produced by plants in response to pathogen attack and biotic stresses. Their proposed mechanisms of action include cytotoxicity towards pathogens, cell wall reinforcement to restrict pathogen proliferation, and signaling activity to trigger general stress responses.
