Discovery of a major QTL for resistance to Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. batatas) in the hexaploid Covington sweetpotato

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. batatas, the causal agent of Fusarium wilt disease, was once the most damaging pathogen of sweetpotato in the United States. Breeding for cultivar resistance has largely addressed this issue, however, little is known about the genetic basis for resistance.

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...
