Dose‐Dependent Effect of Plant Volatiles on the Oviposition Preference of the Corn Leafhopper Dalbulus maidis

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 4, Page 497-505, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major annual crop cultivated worldwide. In the Americas, the corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (DeLong) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is a key pest of this crop, causing direct damage to plants through phloem feeding and indirect damage by transmitting phytopathogens.

Neoscytalidium dimidiatum Associated With Canker Disease in Spondias mombin L. in Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT In 2023, Cajá trees (Spondias mombin) exhibiting symptoms of canker and resinosis were collected from a commercial plantation in Teresina, Piauí, Brazil. Affected plants displayed small, irregular cankers on the trunks and branches, accompanied by abundant resin exudation, which coalesced into extensive necrotic lesions.

The Basic Helix–Loop–Helix Transcription Factors UvBhlh1 and UvBhlh6 Coordinate Virulence in the Rice False Smut Fungus Ustilaginoidea virens

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Transcription factors UvBhlh1 and UvBhlh6 are essential for early infection and virulence in Ustilaginoidea virens. These two proteins form a heterodimer that cooperatively regulates downstream target genes during pathogenesis. ABSTRACT Ustilaginoidea virens is the causal agent of rice false smut, a devastating and globally widespread fungal disease ...

CONIDIOGENESIS OF Phoma strasseri THE FUNGUS RESPONSIBLE FOR BLACK STEM AND RHIZOMES ROT IN PEPPERMINT (Mentha piperita)

open access: yesActa Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2011
Phoma strasseri is one of the major pathogen of peppermint (Mentha piperita). An important criterion in the classification of Phoma spp. is conidiogenesis, which has never been studied in P. strasseri before.

Genetic Differentiation in the SdhC Subunit Confers Intrinsic Resistance to SDHI Fungicides in Fusarium asiaticum

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
In Fusarium asiaticum, two homologous SdhC subunits (FaSdhC1/C2) regulate sensitivity to SDHI fungicides: deletion of FaSDHC1 decreases sensitivity, while deletion of FaSDHC2 increases it. Multiple mutations in ΔFaSDHC2 confer resistance to SDHI fungicides.

Environmental Circulation of Aspergillus fumigatus With Reduced Susceptibility to Agricultural Triazole in Brazil: Clonal Dissemination of Potentially Resistant Genotypes

open access: yesMycoses, Volume 69, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Aspergillus fumigatus resistance to triazole antifungals poses an increasing global health concern. Moreover, the cross‐resistance between azole antifungal agents used in clinical settings and those applied in agriculture has become an important emerging issue.

H3K27me3‐Mediated Epigenetic Silencing of FgHMG1 Enables Fungal Host Immune Evasion

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2843-2857, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) is essential for fungal pathogenicity, yet its contribution to pathogen–host interactions remains incompletely understood. Here, we profiled H3K27me3 dynamics in Fusarium graminearum during infection and identified 132 H3K27me3‐marked genes (FgHMGs).

Autoactive MtDMI1 Reprogrammes Immunity and Development in Tomato via Ethylene Signalling

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2861-2875, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Common Symbiosis Signalling Pathway (CSSP) underpins interactions between plants and microbes, yet its potential for crop improvement remains underexplored. Here, we investigated the gain‐of‐function mutant SPD1 (MtDMI1S760N), which constitutively activates the symbiotic signalling pathway in Medicago truncatula, by expressing it in tomato
