Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Beyond a dual role: how Purpureocillium lilacinum reprograms citrus metabolism for integrated biocontrol and growth promotion

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.

Advances in research on autophagy in the maintenance of insect–microbe symbiosis

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a dual regulatory role in insect–microbe symbiotic relationships. Beneficial symbiotic bacteria in insects participate in nutrient exchange via the TOR pathway, whereas pathogenic microbes induce immune defense through the AMPK pathway. Autophagy‐related genes regulate development and pathogen clearance during this process.

Targeting UDP‐Bta06664 in Bemisia tabaci: A novel strategy to reduce tomato yellow leaf curl virus transmission by impairing insect vector feeding

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Tomato yellow leaf curl virus upregulates the Bemisia tabaci UDP‐glycosyltransferase gene UDP‐Bta06664. RNA interference (RNAi) silencing of this gene disrupts phloem feeding—delaying E1 and shortening E2—and reduces both virus acquisition and inoculation, highlighting its potential as an RNAi target.
