Wear stress of creeping bentgrass as affected by pigmented phosphonate fungicides

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Wear stress can negatively impact the quality of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) putting greens. Phosphonate fungicides formulated with proprietary pigments often include label language indicating plant health benefits, such as alleviating abiotic and biotic stresses.

Edible Antifungal Coatings Based on Litchi Chinensis Seed Starch Enriched With Pericarp Procyanidins for the Postharvest Preservation of Strawberries

Food Chemistry International, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 200-210, June 2026.
Lychee starch coatings enriched with procyanidins showed strong antifungal activity and effectively preserved strawberry quality postharvest, reducing weight loss, decay, and senescence. This highlights their potential as a sustainable natural alternative for shelf‐life extension and fungal control in fresh produce.

Litsea cubeba Essential Oil Reduces Postharvest Blueberry Rot by Inducing Cell Membrane Damage and Reactive Oxygen Species Accumulation in Alternaria alternata

Future Postharvest and Food, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 220-233, June 2026.
Litsea cubeba essential oil (LCEO) reduces blueberry rot while maintaining quality. It disrupts the cellular structure and membranes of Alternaria alternata, causing solute leakage, while simultaneously inducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) damage in the pathogen.

Botanical treatment enhances biochemical responses in enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) clones

JSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 236-247, June 2026.
Abstract Background Bacterial wilt of enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is a severe disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, resulting in complete crop failure and considerable damage. This study assessed the biochemical responses of two enset clones (one resistant and one susceptible) when inoculated with the pathogen and ...

Genome‐wide association and genomic prediction of anthracnose (Colletotrichum dematium) resistance in spinach

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum dematium, has emerged as a major foliar disease that threatens spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) production. In this study, a diverse panel of 266 accessions was evaluated under field conditions to dissect the genetic architecture of anthracnose resistance.

Exploring the Antifungal Potential of the Brown Macroalga Hormophysa triquetra: Morphological Disruptions and Structural Changes in Plant Pathogens

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.
