Insectary Plant Species Preferences of Predators and Parasitoid Families in a Mediterranean Horticultural Agroecosystem

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 803-815, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.

A Near Telomere‐to‐Telomere Genome of Belamcanda chinensis Provides Insights Into Genome Evolution and the Biosynthesis of Characteristic Isoflavones

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4285-4301, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Belamcanda chinensis is a non‐leguminous medicinal plant rich in bioactive isoflavones; however, the lack of a high‐quality reference genome has limited elucidation of its isoflavone biosynthetic and modification network. Here, we present the first near telomere‐to‐telomere genome assembly of B.

Enhancing Stored Wheat Shelf Life: Advances in Storage Technologies, Integrated Pest Management, and Climate‐Responsive Approaches

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent advances in agricultural production and storage systems have contributed to a significant enhancement in annual wheat production and preservation, aimed at satisfying increasing consumer demands. Despite such potential developments, there are still significant post‐harvest losses in stored wheat, induced by destructive pests, grain ...

Herbarium Specimens Provide Evidence for the Early Introduction of Erysiphe quercicola Into the United States and Document New Hosts

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The powdery mildew fungus Erysiphe quercicola (Erysiphaceae) has a complex taxonomic history that has long complicated assessments of its geographic distribution and host associations. Although knowledge of the global host range of this species has expanded substantially over the past two decades, sequencing‐confirmed records from North ...

High‐Quality Genome Assembly and Annotation of Ceratonia siliqua Provide Insights Into the Secondary Loss of Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.), an evergreen legume native to West Asia and long cultivated throughout the Mediterranean basin, is valued for its drought tolerance, nutritious pods, and ecological value. Despite its economic and environmental importance, genomic resources for this species have been limited.

Antidiabetic effect of Coccinia grandis (L.) Voigt (Cucurbitales: Cucurbitaceae) on streptozotocin induced diabetic rats and its role in regulating carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2018
Coccinia grandis (L.) Voigt (Cucurbitales: Cucurbitaceae) is a climbing perennial herb, growing throughout India and it is widely used in the traditional treatment of diabetes. The aim of present study was to evaluate the antidiabetic potential of the mature unripe of Coccinia grandis in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats with special reference

Expelled by the Antarctic ice: Evolutionary history of the tribe Cunonieae (Cunoniaceae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1441-1457, November 2025.
Fossil calibration reveals recent radiations and biogeographical history of the Cunonieae tribe. The most densely sampled phylogeny indicated Antarctica and Patagonia as areas of origin, confirming the reestablishment of Pterophylla and revealing the northward movement of Weinmannia into the tropical Andes.

Inhibition of rhizobial cheaters by the host Medicago truncatula involves repression of symbiotic functions and induction of defense

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1458-1474, November 2025.
Summary In symbiotic plant–microbe interactions, the host invests considerable amounts of resources in the microbial partner. If the microbe does not reciprocate with a comparable symbiotic benefit, it is regarded as a cheater. The host responds to cheaters with negative feedback mechanisms (sanctions) to prevent fitness deficits resulting from being ...
