Managing Brown Rot Disease of Citrus Fruit Using Plant Extracts

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Brown rot, caused by Phytophthora nicotianae and P. citrophthora, is a major disease of citrus fruit, leading to significant economic losses globally. Conventional fungicides are commonly used to manage this disease, but concerns have been raised due to environmental persistence, human toxicity and the emergence of resistant strains.

The combined effects of Golden2‐like 2 and Pseudo‐Response Regulator 2 control the fruit pigmentation in pepper

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.
SUMMARY Fruit pigmentation mainly controlled by chlorophyll, carotenoids, and flavonoids is an important phenomenon for fortifying the nutritional and esthetic value of humans. Our previous study identified Pseudo‐Response Regulator 2 (PRR2) as a regulator of fruit pigmentation through its association with the c1 locus.

Can Capsicum spp. genotypes resist simultaneous damage by both Phytophthora capsici and Bemisia tabaci? Can natural enemies of Bemisia complement plant resistance?

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Capsicum (Solanaceae) includes peppers and chilies. Phytophthora capsici (Peronosporaceae) and Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) are two relevant problems in the production of this genus.

Histological and Cytological Responses of Genotypes From Capsicum spp. to Meloidogyne enterolobii

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sweet and chilli peppers (Capsicum spp.) are widely cultivated horticultural crops, but they are highly susceptible to root‐knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.). Among them, Meloidogyne enterolobii stands out for its aggressive parasitism and the severe damage it causes to economically important crops. This study aimed to describe and compare the
