Processing and release of endogenous immunogenic peptide signals

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 3, May 2026.
SUMMARY In both animals and plants, small secreted peptides known as cytokines and phytocytokines mediate local and systemic communication during immune and stress responses. These signaling molecules are typically synthesized as inactive precursors that require proteolytic processing to become active.

Potential of Agricultural Plantations and Orchards to Support Understory Forest Bird Diversity in Southeast Asia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study assessed the potential of monoculture oil palm and rubber tree plantations, as well as polyculture orchards, to support understory bird diversity compared to forest reserves using mist‐netting. Orchards recorded the highest bird abundance and richness among agricultural lands, but all agricultural lands had less than half the understory bird

Local canopy cover, shade tree identity and landscape tree cover shape leaf‐cutter ant nest density and herbivory in cacao agroforestry systems

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our findings provide practical guidance for agroforestry management by demonstrating that intercropping with selected species can mitigate damage from leaf‐cutter ants in cacao agroforests. At the landscape scale, high tree cover was associated with low herbivory rates, emphasising the need to maintain or restore forested habitats.

Construction and Biological Characterization of Papaya Leaf Curl Guangdong Virus Infectious cDNA Clone

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
Viral diseases are important diseases on cash crops such as passion fruit, among which PaLCuGDV is one of the more severe in recent years. We constructed an infectious clone of PaLCuGDV for the first time and confirmed its infectivity through biological assays.

Antiplasmodial Properties and Bioassay-Guided Fractionation of Ethyl Acetate Extracts from Carica papaya Leaves

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2011
We investigated the antiplasmodial properties of crude extracts from Carica papaya leaves to trace the activity through bioassay-guided fractionation. The greatest antiplasmodial activity was observed in the ethyl acetate crude extract. C.

First report in Italy of Thrips parvispinus (Karny, 1922) (Thysanoptera, Thripidae), a major threat for Sicilian horticulture and floriculture

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 130-137, April 2026.
Abstract The presence of Thrips parvispinus (Karny, 1922) is reported for the first time in Italy. Prior to this finding, within Europe the pest was only known to be established in Spain. The discovery happened in a greenhouse cultivating gerberas in south‐eastern Sicily, a region recognized as Italy's primary and one of Europe's most important ...

Fruit respiration: putting alternative pathways into perspective

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 54-73, April 2026.
Summary Over the past century, research has significantly advanced our understanding of fruit respiration, from (eco)physiological processes to molecular mechanisms. This review focuses on the functional relevance and regulatory roles of mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathways (ARPs) during fruit growth and ripening.
