Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant pathogenic fungi secrete a wide array of effector proteins to manipulate host immunity, including those containing CFEM (Common in Fungal Extracellular Membranes) domains. Here, we identified a CFEM domain‐containing effector VdCR from Verticillium dahliae, the causal agent of cotton Verticillium wilt.

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Cover crops (CCs) have gained popularity in continuous crop production systems due to their agroecosystem benefits. This study evaluated the effects of nine CC treatments (single or multispecies) and no cover crop (noCC) on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growth characteristics, production, and economic returns in the Mid‐South United States ...

Leaf economics and tissue turnover dynamics in four perennial C4 grasses
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Warm‐season perennial grasses are important components of pasture systems in the United States, yet their functional characteristics and relationships with productive attributes remain poorly understood. This study evaluated tissue flow dynamics and leaf economic traits in four C4 forage grasses: eastern gamagrass (Tripsacum dactyloides (L.) L.

, 2015 Since the 1980s defoliation (often assessed by means of crown transparency) is the most used indicator of tree condition adopted in Europe. It has been criticized for its subjectivity and scarce relation with meaningful endpoints. Here we collated the results of three different studies carried out in France and Italy to investigate the relationship ...

Efficiency of Defoliation on Low Salt Fields
, 2022 A high effect was established in comparison with the liquid HMD defoliant, control, with the use of FanDEF defoliant at a rate of 5.0-6.0 l/ha, UzDEF 6.0 l/ha on moderately saline, as well as at a rate of 7.0 l/ha UzDEF and FanDEF on non-saline and ...

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract The two‐spotted spider mite (TSSM; Tetranychus urticae Koch) is a major pest of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), causing substantial yield and quality losses in Ethiopia and worldwide. The present study evaluated the impact of tomato branch pruning and trellising on TSSM populations and yield in the Central Rift Valley tomato production area ...

Enhancing spring green‐up of warm‐season turfgrasses through late‐winter scalping
Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract Rapid spring green‐up of warm‐season turfgrasses in the transition zone is often desired to improve early‐season turfgrass quality, thereby increasing the acceptance of these species in arid and semi‐arid climates. This study evaluated the effects of late winter scalping on spring green‐up speed in 41 cultivars of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp ...

Screening bermudagrass genotypes for improved forage production
Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.Abstract Cynodon is a diverse genus of great economic importance to the southeastern United States. However, the bermudagrass stem maggot (BSM; Atherigona reversura Villeneuve) is threatening bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) throughout the region. Long‐term solutions require the development and release of BSM‐tolerant bermudagrass genotypes.
