Effect of Catharanthus roseus (L.) (Apocyneaceae) extract on developmental stages of Erias favia stall

Environment Conservation Journal, 2003
Developmental defect in Erias favia was investigated due to aqueous extract of Catharanthus roseus. The extract caused significant reduction in adult emergence as well as in percentage of egg hatch in Erias favia.

A Malectin‐Like Receptor Kinase and Bacterial Motility Shape Tissue‐Specific Maize–Xanthomonas vasicola Interactions

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Dual RNA‐seq reveals that ZmCrRLK1L19 and bacterial motility drive tissue‐specific maize–Xanthomonas interactions, distinguishing mesophyll from vascular colonization strategies. ABSTRACT Understanding how pathogens infect different tissue types and how plants mount tissue‐specific defences against bacterial pathogens is critical for improving disease ...

The Structure of Carboxyl Methyltransferase Provides Insights Into the Substrate Specificity and Divergent Evolution of Iridoid

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3708-3722, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Iridoids constitute a prominent class of plant‐specialised metabolites, with carbocyclic iridoids (e.g., geniposide) and secoiridoids (e.g., loganin) diverging early in their biosynthetic pathways. This divergence is marked by substrate‐specific carboxyl methyltransferases—GjGAMT and CrLAMT—that catalyse the decisive methylation step in ...

OsRALF26 Serves as an Endogenous Signal Recognised by XA21 to Promote Robust and Distal Resistance in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4159-4173, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant immune receptors detect both microbe‐derived and endogenous signals to activate defences. XA21, a rice immune receptor, confers strong race‐specific resistance to a subset of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) strains by recognising the microbial sulphated peptide RaxX.
