Identifying and managing Cercospora leaf blight in soybean: From scouting to best management practices

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Maximizing soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield requires effective management of Cercospora leaf blight (CLB), a significant foliar disease that can reduce productivity and grain quality. The impact of CLB is particularly notable in regions such as the mid‐southern United States, where species of Cercospora, predominantly C. cf. flagellaris,

Studies on the release of neutrophil extracellular traps and IFN-γ as part of the innate immune response to Aspergillus fumigatus and on the fungal stress response via the hybrid sensor kinase TcsC [PDF]

, 2012
Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprophytic mold that naturally inhabits the soil. Asexual reproduction yields hardy conidia that circulate in the air and are inhaled daily by humans.

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Isolation, morphological characterization, and screening virulence of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium robertsii fungal isolates in Galleria mellonella [version 4; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research
Background Entomopathogenic fungi exists naturally in plants as an asymptote and have the potential to reduce the population of insect pests through indirect interactions. This study was conducted to detect and characterize the endophytic fungi Beauveria

Resurrection and emendation of the Hypoxylaceae, recognised from a multigene phylogeny of the Xylariales [PDF]

, 2017
A multigene phylogeny was constructed, including a significant number of representative species of the main lineages in the Xylariaceae and four DNA loci the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), the large subunit (LSU) of the nuclear rDNA, the ...

Pilliga Ghosts: The Novel Fungi of the Rivers, Creeks, Lakes, and Dams of the Narrabri Region, Australia

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Freshwater systems of the semi‐arid Narrabri region, Australia, are hotspots of novel fungal and eukaryote diversity, dominated by zoosporic fungi and unclassified lineages. ITS‑based DNA and water chemistry analyses across various water bodies revealed strong seasonal patterns, a scarcity of aquatic hyphomycetes that may reflect environmental ...

CYP52X1, representing new cytochrome P450 subfamily, displays fatty acid hydroxylase activity and contributes to virulence and growth on insect cuticular substrates in entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana [PDF]

, 2012
Infection of insects by the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana proceeds via attachment and penetration of the host cuticle. The outermost epicuticular layer or waxy layer of the insect represents a structure rich in lipids including abundant ...
