Application of Plant‐Derived Silver Nanoparticles for Control of Economically Important Bacterial Plant Pathogens

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
The obtained through green synthesis nanoparticles—AgNPs can be used for control of the important plant pathogenic bacteria. ABSTRACT Plant‐pathogenic bacteria pose a serious threat to crop production, and although several methods have been established, preventive strategies remain the most widely applied.

Update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feeds as notified to EFSA

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of relevant knowledge and safety concerns of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Structural and Functional Co‐Adaptation of Plants of the Genus Lysimachia L. (Primulaceae) and Pollinating Insects of the Genus Macropis Panzer (Hymenoptera, Melittidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
The co‐adaptation of bees from the genus Macropis and Lysimachia plants has been studied in detail. Research shows that bees collect not just pure liquid oil from flower petals but tear off trichome heads filled with oil, transferring them to their nests.

Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Lavandula angustifolia Essential Oil: GC–MS Composition, In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity, Vapor‐Phase Efficacy on Fruit and Vegetable Models, and Anti‐Escherichia coli Effect in Sous‐Vide Potatoes

Journal of Food Safety, Volume 45, Issue 6, December 2025.
In‐depth investigation of the chemical and biological properties of Lavandula angustifolia essential oil. ABSTRACT This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of Lavandula angustifolia essential oil (LAEO) in vitro and in the vapor phase (in situ) against selected bacteria and yeasts, and against Escherichia coli in a sous‐vide potato model, while ...

ThiF‐Like Enzyme Chemistry in Primary and Secondary Metabolism

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 21, November 8, 2025.
ThiF‐like enzymes are a widespread protein family found in disparate biosynthetic pathways. They are unified by their use of an NTP to modify a carboxylate, generating an activated species prone to nucleophilic addition. This common intermediate is then targeted by diverse nucleophiles, including persulfide or amino acid side chains, to yield a variety

Evaluating semiochemical‐based strategies for managing ambrosia beetles in apple orchards

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 697-706, November 2025.
Abstract Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) have emerged as problematic pests in Michigan apple orchards, where their cryptic lifestyle complicates effective management. This study evaluated the efficacy of semiochemical‐based repellents in mitigating beetle infestations, focusing on two key invasive species: Xylosandrus germanus ...
