Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 353-364, January 2026.Cassava is a lifeline for millions of people across the tropics, but its productivity is at risk from a disease called Cassava Bacterial Blight (CBB). In this study, we explore how the everyday practices of farmers exchanging cassava cuttings—a long‐standing tradition—can shape how the disease spreads and evolves in the Colombian Caribbean.

Expansion and impact of cassava brown streak and cassava mosaic diseases in Africa: A review
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022 Africa produces over half of global cassava; however, the continent's average yield is below the potential yields achieved under experimental conditions. Many factors contributing to low yield include lack of quality varieties, poor soils, limited access

African Cassava Mosaic Disease
, 2008 Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), recognized in Africa for more than a century, is now known to be caused by a group of geminiviruses in the genus Begomovirus from the family Geminiviridae. All are transmitted in a persistent manner by the whitefly vector, Bemisia tabaci.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Lemongrass essential oil (LGEO) has gained recognition as a natural preservative in food systems due to its distinctive phytochemical composition and multifunctional bioactivities. Dominated by citral and complemented by terpenes and phenolic compounds, LGEO demonstrates potent antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antibiofilm, and antioxidant

Surveillance and distribution of the emergent Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus in China
Phytopathology Research, 2020 Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a major staple food crop for more than a billion people in the world. Cassava mosaic virus (CMV), belonging to the Geminiviridae family, is a primary threat to cassava production.

Exploiting the combination of natural and genetically engineered resistance to cassava mosaic and cassava brown streak viruses impacting cassava production in Africa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD) are currently two major viral diseases that severely reduce cassava production in large areas of Sub-Saharan Africa. Natural resistance has so far only been reported for CMD in cassava.

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Genetically modified soybean GMB151 × DAS‐44406‐6 was developed by crossing to combine two single events: GMB151 and DAS‐44406‐6. The two‐event stack soybean expresses the Cry14Ab‐1, HPPD‐4, PAT, AAD‐12 and 2mEPSPS proteins to confer herbicide tolerance and resistance to plant parasitic nematodes.

Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Uganda
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the likelihood of pest freedom at entry in the EU, including both regulated and non‐regulated pests, potentially associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera Petunia and Calibrachoa produced under physical isolation in Uganda.

Biotechnology Reports, 2019 Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), caused by geminiviruses, is a major hurdle to cassava production. Due to the heterozygous nature of cassava, breeding for virus resistance is difficult, but cassava has been shown to be a good candidate for genetic ...
