‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’: From infection to all‐round characterisation of distinct tuf‐type strains with different virulence in tomato plants

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 480-494, March 2026.
‘Candidatus Phytoplasma (Ca. P.) solani’ is associated with bois noir (BN) of grapevine and stolbur of solanaceous plants and is primarily transmitted by Hyalesthes obsoletus Signoret. Four tuf‐a and five tuf‐b1 ‘Ca. P. solani’ strains were transmitted to tomato plants (cv. Micro‐Tom) by using bait‐plants and by capturing H.

Structural features of the mitogenome of the leafhopper genus Cladolidia (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Coelidiinae) and phylogenetic implications in Cicadellidae

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The first two complete mitogenomes of the leafhopper genus Cladolidia (C. biungulata and C. robusta) were sequenced and annotated to further explore the phylogeny of Cladolidia. Both the newly sequenced mitogenomes have a typical circular structure, with

Dominated Spider Species and the Predation Assessment on Apolygus lucorum (Hemiptera: Miridae) in a Tea Plantation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The mirid bug Apolygus lucorum (Meyer‐Dür) is a major pest affecting tea. Identifying the dominant predatory spiders of the mirid bug can provide a scientific basis for developing biological control technologies. Xysticus ephippiatus demonstrates the greatest potential as a biological control agent against A. lucorum.

A Regional DNA Barcode Library for Northern Rocky Mountain Arthropods to Support Biodiversity and Molecular Ecological Research

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
We developed the MPG Ranch Arthropod Library (MPG‐AL), a COI DNA barcode reference library for arthropods of the Northern Rocky Mountains, to address gaps in barcode coverage for the western United States. From 86,533 specimens collected in Montana, we generated 52,270 DNA barcodes spanning 38 orders and 1793 species, adding 5154 Barcode Index Numbers (

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Biochemical and metabolic responses of cotton variety XLZ54 to Thrips tabaci and screening of resistance characterization indicators

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1656-1667, February 2026.
Cotton varieties resistant to Thrips tabaci exhibit lower soluble sugar and free amino acid levels, with smaller post‐infestation increases in these nutrients, resulting in reduced feeding rates and lighter damage. Key resistance evaluation indices include: damage severity, soluble sugars, free amino acids, soluble proteins, superoxide dismutase ...

Balancing Barcoding and Genomics: gDNA Quality in Insect Vouchers After HotSHOT DNA Extraction

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT DNA extraction with an alkaline buffer system called ‘HotSHOT’ is widely used for barcoding because it is rapid, inexpensive, and voucher preserving, but it remains unclear whether sufficient genomic DNA (gDNA) remains in small vouchers for downstream use in genomics.

Effects of Phytoplasma Infection on Aster Leafhopper (Macrosteles quadrilineatus) Settling Behavior and Development on Brassica napus

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 132-141, February 2026.
Aster yellows phytoplasma (AYp) infection alters host plant preference in aster leafhoppers (Macrosteles quadrilineatus), with infected vectors showing a significant preference for AYp‐infected canola (Brassica napus) early in the infection period. However, this preference fades as infection progresses. Despite early attraction, B.
