ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 12, 26 March 2026.Metallic nanoparticles are emerging as potent antifungal agents, yet their efficacy is rarely quantified on a particle basis. Here, we demonstrate how nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), together with a newly proposed Particle Efficiency Index (PEI), can relate nanoparticle concentration to fungal inoculum load, enabling more rigorous and comparable ...

Antifungal Activity of Nanochitosan in Colletotrichum musae and Colletotrichum chrysophillum
PolysaccharidesThe search for developing materials of natural origin has become imperative due to the resistance shown by phytopathogenic microorganisms to traditional antimicrobial agents. Natural polymers such as chitosan offer a new alternative to fungal infections because, in most cases, these polymers are biocompatible, nontoxic, and natural. This study aimed to

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT Northern corn leaf blight, one of the most devastating diseases of maize (Zea mays), is caused by Exserohilum turcicum. This pathogen is widely distributed and can be found in maize fields across most regions of the world. The association of pathogens with seeds is considered a serious threat to the establishment of a field since seeds are ...

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.This study found that BDPH1 and BDEUL12 interact with Apctf1β. They regulate growth, development, and chemical stress response in Arthrinium phaeospermum, and are crucial for its pathogenicity. ABSTRACT Arthrinium phaeospermum is the primary pathogen responsible for shoot blight disease in Bambusa pervariabilis × Dendrocalamopsis grandis.
