A high‐quality haplotype‐resolved genome of Pyrus calleryana provides insights into adaptive gene families

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana) is a deciduous species native to East Asia with notable ornamental and ecological value, but the genomic resources for this species remain limited. Here, we report the first haplotype‐resolved, chromosome‐scale genome of P. calleryana.

Signaling of Plant Defense Mediated by Receptor-like Kinases, Receptor-like Cytoplasmic Protein Kinases and MAPKs Triggered by Fungal Chitin in Horticultural Crops

Horticulturae
Fresh horticultural products are economically significant foods that are highly demanded by consumers worldwide; however, they are highly perishable and susceptible to deterioration by fungi, which contribute to their short shelf-life and cause ...

Nutritional Value of Biofloc Meal for White Cachama (Piaractus orinoquensis): Effects of Inclusion Level on Digestibility, Growth Performance, and Protein Retention

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biofloc technology (BFT) offers a sustainable aquaculture strategy; however, the value of its byproduct, biofloc meal (BFM), as a feed ingredient requires validation for key species. This study evaluated the use of BFM from a tilapia–molasses system as a feed ingredient for white cachama (Piaractus orinoquensis) juveniles.

Comprehensive analysis of the LysM protein family and functional characterization of the key LysM effector StLysM1, which modulates plant immunity in Setosphaeria turcica

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
LysM proteins contain the lysin domain (LysM), bind chitin and are found in various organisms including fungi. In phytopathogenic fungi, certain LysM proteins act as effectors to inhibit host immunity, thus increasing fungal virulence.

MAMP (Microbe-Associated Molecular Pattern) triggered immunity in Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Plants are sessile organisms that are under constant attack from microbes. They rely on both preformed defenses, and their innate immune system to ward of the microbial pathogens.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Dietary nutgrass (Cyperus rotundus) extract–loaded chitosan nanoparticles: Enhance growth performance, boost immune responses, improve antioxidant capacity, and physiological performance in white leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Aquaculture has increasingly turned toward plant extracts' usage as functional additives, owing to their rich content of bioactive compounds that enhance growth performance, boost immune responses, and improve antioxidant capacity in cultured species.

Surface α-1,3-glucan facilitates fungal stealth infection by interfering with innate immunity in plants.

PLoS Pathogens, 2012
Plants evoke innate immunity against microbial challenges upon recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as fungal cell wall chitin. Nevertheless, pathogens may circumvent the host PAMP-triggered immunity. We previously reported

Dietary impact of shrimp diets containing a mixture of nucleotides, β‐glucan, and mannan oligosaccharides on the growth performance, innate immunity, gene expression, and histology

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract This experiment investigated the impact of Hilyses, a fermented Saccharomyces cerevisiae‐based supplement containing bioactive nucleotides, β‐glucans, and mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), on the performance and physiology of whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei (initial weight 4.47 ± 0.07 g).

Dissecting the molecular interactions between wheat and the fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The Dothideomycete fungus Zymoseptoria tritici (previously known as Mycosphaerella graminicola and Septoria tritici) is the causative agent of Septoria tritici leaf blotch (STB) disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
