Ants contribute to raspberry pollination in protected cropping systems
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 648-657, November 2026.Ants visited raspberry flowers more frequently than European honey bees (Apis mellifera), Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria) and flies, many transporting raspberry pollen on their bodies, indicating potential pollination capacity. Ants were active flower visitors at most times of the day and may extend the daily pollination window and ...

Effects of Atmospheric CO2 Levels on the Susceptibility of Maize to Diverse Pathogens
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8828-8850, November 2026.ABSTRACT Rising atmospheric CO2 has significant implications for crop productivity and food security. Based on studies in C3 plants, elevated CO2 (eCO2) can shape plant‐pathogen interactions, although the outcomes are often variable. The question of how eCO2 influences immunity and disease development in C4 plants, such as the globally important cereal

Ethnomedicinal Uses of Thai Legumes (Fabaceae) and Their Potential in Industrial Applications
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.Thai legumes (Fabaceae) are rich sources of bioactive phytochemicals, including saponins, flavonoids, biochanin A, and daidzein. These compounds contribute to diverse ethnomedicinal properties, including antioxidant, antiviral, anti‐inflammatory, anticancer, and cardioprotective activities.

Design and Deployment of a Regulation‐Compliant Infrared Heating System for UK Field Trials
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.ABSTRACT Free‐air warming systems are essential for simulating climate change in field conditions, yet most are not designed to meet UK or EU health and safety standards. We present the design and field deployment of a hexagonal temperature‐free air controlled enhancement (T‐FACE) system that meets UK and EU health and safety requirements for outdoor ...

Application of Omics Technologies for Cowpea Improvement
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a vital crop for food security, nutrition, and climate resilience in sub‐Saharan African and other semi‐arid regions. However, its improvement is constrained by the complexity of polygenic traits such as drought tolerance, pest resistance, and seed quality.

Soybean induced resistance to Spodoptera eridania herbivory
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9931-9943, October 2026.SOD, CAT, APX, PPO, KTI, and MDA levels were higher in the resistant soybean. S. eridania herbivory increased H2O2 and MDA, but decreased SOD and PPO levels. S. eridania herbivory increased KTI activity only in the resistant variety. Isoquercitrin and daidzin were exclusive to resistant and susceptible soybeans.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.Our results demonstrate that crop diversification through strip cropping increases arthropod abundances across trophic levels, supporting more functionally diverse and balanced agroecosystems that enhance biocontrol potential. Abstract Crop diversification aims to support arthropod populations and promote natural pest control processes that are ...

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 556-575, October 2026.RNA‐seq and Batelli gland proteomics of fifth‐instar Mahanarva spectabilis nymphs reveal transcripts and proteins associated with xylem feeding, foam production and environmental interaction. Functional annotation identified genes involved in osmoregulation, detoxification, chemosensation and stress responses, while proteomic analysis confirmed ...
