Precision agriculture for water saving: The case of processing tomato and table grape

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agriculture faces increasing pressure to produce high‐quality food while reducing water use under intensifying climate change and water scarcity. This study compared sensor‐based precision irrigation, drone monitoring, and near‐infrared spectroscopy with conventional farmer management in table grape and processing tomato production systems.

Deciphering argumentation on the regulation of genome‐edited crops in academic publications: A systematic review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Genome editing technologies such as CRISPR‐Cas are reshaping debates about the future of agriculture, yet disagreement over how these crops should be regulated remains widespread. This study clarifies the range of arguments used in scientific discussions about genome‐edited crops, making underlying assumptions and value judgements more visible.

The Supporting Scaffold as a Structural Module for Plant Cystatin Design

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protein engineering approaches have been proposed to improve the inhibitory potency of cystatins against plant pest digestive Cys proteases, typically involving point mutations in the N‐terminal trunk or inhibitory loops known to interact with the target protease.

The first report of M918L (super‐kdr) and L932F voltage‐gated sodium channel mutations in the English grain aphid (Sitobion avenae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The study has identified mutations in the voltage gated sodium channel of the English grain aphid (Sitobion avenae) at M918 and L932, which have not been previously reported in this species. Abstract BACKGROUND The grain aphid, Sitobion avenae Fabricius (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is a vector of yellow dwarf viruses and an important pest of cereals.

In planta analysis of the mode of action of cinmethylin and confirmation of fatty acyl‐ACP thioesterases (FATs) as primary site of action

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
In planta analysis of the mode of action of cinmethylin and confirmation of fatty acyl‐ACP thioesterases (FATs) as primary site of action. Cinmethylin inhibits FATs, disrupting eukaryotic de novo lipid biosynthesis and causing defects in cell division, elongation and integrity. We confirm FATs as the primary site of action in planta.
