Morphological and Multilocus Phylogenetic Characterisation of Fusarium Species Causing Fruit Rot in Pumpkins

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Eight Fusarium species are associated with the pumpkin rot in north‐east Brazil. ABSTRACT Pumpkin (Cucurbita) is a cucurbit of great economic and social importance in Brazil. However, fruit rot caused by Fusarium species represents a significant limitation to crop production, compromising quality and hindering commercialisation.

High‐Throughput Sequencing Analysis Reveals a Novel Varicosavirus Associated With Vein Yellowing Disease in Cucurbita pepo

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
In 2022, vein yellowing symptoms appeared in a zucchini crop in Greece. High‐throughput sequencing revealed the presence of a novel varicosavirus. There is a strong association of the novel virus, putatively named as cucurbit vein yellowing‐associated varicosavirus (CVYaV), with the symptoms observed on zucchini plants in the field.

Application of a D‐Optimal Mixture Design for the Development and Optimization of a Pasta Enriched With Pumpkin Products

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Fortification of wheat‐based products with high‐nutritional‐value ingredients is becoming of great interest as a strategy for producing high‐quality sustainable food products. Therefore, pumpkin products such as pulp (PPU), peel (PPE), and seed (PS) were blended into wheat pasta at different proportions and combinations using D‐optimal mixture

Chromosome‐Level Genome Assembly of the Allotetraploid Gynostemma pentaphyllum Provides Novel Insights Into the Biosynthesis of Ginsenoside and Gypenoside LVI

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4204-4220, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Gynostemma pentaphyllum, a herb used in tea and traditional Chinese medicine, shows geographic variation in its production of valuable dammarane‐type ginsenosides and gypenoside LVI between populations from Suining (SN) and Nanning (NN). To elucidate the mechanisms underlying this differential metabolite accumulation, a chromosome‐level genome
