Multi‐Omics Profiling of the Scaphoideus titanus Yeast‐Like Symbiont Guides the Bioinformatic Discovery of Related Fungal Symbioses in Insects

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Genomic, proteomic and phylogenetic analyses of the obligate yeast‐like symbiont (YLS) associated with Scaphoideus titanus revealed retained metabolic flexibility and a monophyletic origin of insect‐associated YLSs within a free‐living fungal lineage. A novel computational pipeline was used to mine NCBI transcriptomic data and identified new candidate ...

Enhancing Stored Wheat Shelf Life: Advances in Storage Technologies, Integrated Pest Management, and Climate‐Responsive Approaches

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent advances in agricultural production and storage systems have contributed to a significant enhancement in annual wheat production and preservation, aimed at satisfying increasing consumer demands. Despite such potential developments, there are still significant post‐harvest losses in stored wheat, induced by destructive pests, grain ...

Monitoring and Managing of Ergot Alkaloids in Cereal Grains: A Comprehensive Analysis of Analytical Challenges, Sampling Uncertainty, and Processing for Food Safety

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Ergot alkaloids (EAs), toxic secondary metabolites produced by Claviceps purpurea, pose food and feed safety concerns for cereal grains, particularly rye and wheat. While EAs are most frequently associated with rye, their occurrence in other cereals has been increasingly reported across diverse regions.

Harnessing entomopathogenic fungi: A meta‐analysis on their role as plant growth promoters

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 1858-1869, November 2025.
Our meta‐analysis highlights the potential of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) as sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides and fertilisers. By promoting plant growth and reducing reliance on agrochemicals, EPF can support healthier crops, minimise environmental contamination and improve profitability within food production systems.

Vertical Zonal Distribution Patterns of Entomopathogenic Fungi in the Changbai Mountain

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) distribution was divided into high‐ and low‐elevation patterns. EPF species diversity in the same vegetation belt was unaffected by altitude. EPF tended to evolve toward broadleaved forest habitats. ABSTRACT Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are critical drivers of ecosystem processes such as pest regulation and material cycling.

Host Relations ofMyriogenospora atramentosaandBalansia epichloë(Clavicipitaceae) [PDF]

Phytopathology, 1985
Attempts to inoculate Paspalum notatum and P. laeve with Myriogenospora atramentosa and Sporobolus poiretii with Balansia epichloë through inflorescences, seed, seedlings, leaf whorls, and cut stubble failed. Both fungi were culturable biotrophs on several warm-season perennial grass species.

Pharmacophagy in insects: Ecological and evolutionary perspectives on the non‐nutritional use of plant specialized metabolites

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 661-673, July 2025.
Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.
