Attractiveness of Melon Genotypes to Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) Mediated by Foliar Morphological and Biochemical Traits

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study identifies melon genotypes resistant to Bemisia tabaci by integrating morphological and biochemical leaf traits. Using free‐choice and no‐choice assays, we demonstrate that resistance is primarily mediated by antixenosis. Genotypes CNPH 11‐1071‐43, CNPH 06‐1047‐343, CNPH 13‐1076, and BG MEL 16 significantly reduced whitefly settling and ...

Diets, Fruit and Vegetable Intake and Nutritional Status in Tanzania: Scoping Review

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This scoping review summarizes evidence on diets, fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake, and nutritional status in Tanzania to identify information gaps and to help with the design and targeting of potential interventions to improve F&V intake. While the majority of existing literature on diets and F&V intake was heterogeneous, evidence suggests that among ...

CRISPR/Cas9‐Mediated Knockout of LbSP1 and LbSP5G1 Reveals Efficient Customization of Shoot Architecture in Black Goji Berry

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Goji is recognized as a nutritionally rich superfruit with medicinal and industrial importance. However, its inherently indeterminate growth habit causes asynchronous flowering and uneven fruit ripening, resulting in harvesting inefficiency with high labour costs and low fruit yield.

Leaf Structure and Hormonal Balance Modulate Host‐Specificity and Pathogenicity of Botrytis cinerea

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea, a highly successful necrotrophic fungal plant pathogen, demonstrates a remarkably broad host range, yet the precise factors governing its host specificity and its ability to coexist non‐pathogenically with plants remain unclear. This study systematically assessed host preference in a series of B. cinerea agricultural isolates,

Effects of Meloidogyne incognita on agronomic parameters and structural changes in eggplant (Solanum gilo Raddi) roots treated with Purpureocillium lilacinum

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Meloidogyne incognita impairs eggplant growth through gall formation with changes in root cell wall components and vascular tissue disruption, while the biocontrol agent Purpureocillium lilacinum mitigates these effects by reducing nematode infection. Abstract Meloidogyne spp. induce structural changes during the development of root‐knot galls, leading

Geographical proliferation of ongoing novel host use by the herbivorous ladybird beetle Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, December 2026.
The geographical extent of occurrence of the Solanaceae‐feeding Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata on the novel fabaceous host Centrosema molle and the ability of larvae from several beetle populations to develop on C. molle were investigated to depict the incipient phase in the speciation continuum of herbivorous ladybird beetles.

The Remote Food Photography Method Is Valid for Assessing Dietary Intake of Serie A Football Players

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT To ensure football players meet their nutritional demands, sport nutritionists need to accurately collect and analyse dietary intake. However, dietary assessment methods have limitations. The Remote Food Photography Method (RFPM) is a valid approach, but the validation in real‐life settings requires further investigations.

Behavioural and Physiological Evidence of Monandry in the Tomato Fruit Borer, Neoleucinodes elegantalis (Guen.) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite the benefits of multiple mating to females, many moths appear to be monandrous. A curious case involves the tomato fruit borer, Neoleucinodes elegantalis (Guenée); this species is supposedly monogamous particularly due to its short adult lifespan. However, N.

Identification of Promising Eggplant Genotypes for Root-knot Nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) Resistance

HortScience
Parasitic Meloidogyne incognita root-knot nematodes (RKNs) represent one of the most serious eggplant (Solanum melongena) biotic stress problems. We evaluated 47 eggplant genotypes, including three cultivated eggplant, 13 wild accessions, and 31 eggplant
