Engineering Pseudomonas protegens as a Targeted Antifungal‐Effector Delivery Chassis via Heterologous Type III Secretion System Reconstitution

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
A heterologous T3SS turns Pseudomonas protegens Pf‐5 into a programmable molecular syringe that delivers Bg9562 into Fusarium hyphae, suppresses fungal pathogens, enhances rhizosphere colonization and protects tomato plants from wilt. This modular platform offers a transferable strategy for next‐generation fungal biocontrol.

Fire barrier based on expanded perlite composites

Modern Building Materials, Structures and Techniques (MBMST), 2019
Decreased strength of building materials as a result of flame impingement (e.g. during a fire) is one of major threats in the construction branch. For these reasons, the effectiveness of fire safety systems in various kinds of facilities or structures is extremely important.

Movement and Survival of Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Neonate Larvae on Cotton Expressing Bacillus thuringiensis Proteins

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 549-558, June 2026.
Spodoptera litura neonates showed increased movement on Bt‐expressing Bollgard 3 (BG) cotton leaf discs but did not initially avoid it. Survival was higher when larvae could move from BG3 to non‐Bt leaf discs. On whole plants, more larvae dispersed from hatching on BG3 cotton compared to non‐Bt cotton. These findings suggest the larval movement differs

Production of Bio-oil via Catalytic Pyrolysis of Medlar Seeds

BioResources, 2023
The pyrolysis of medlar seeds was performed at 350, 450, 550, and 650 °C with and without K2CO3, MgO, and expanded perlite (10 wt%). The maximum dichloromethane extract yield (6.70 wt%) was obtained at 450 °C in the pyrolysis experiments without catalyst,

A new consolidation process for expanded perlite particles

Construction and Building Materials, 2014
Abstract A new process for expanded perlite particle consolidation with starch binder is studied for building material applications. Compressive modulus and strength of manufactured perlite foams were characterized for a range of foam densities (0.1–0.4 g/cm 3 ) and compared with gypsum. Compressive strength of perlite foam with a density of 0.3 g/cm

A Malectin‐Like Receptor Kinase and Bacterial Motility Shape Tissue‐Specific Maize–Xanthomonas vasicola Interactions

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Dual RNA‐seq reveals that ZmCrRLK1L19 and bacterial motility drive tissue‐specific maize–Xanthomonas interactions, distinguishing mesophyll from vascular colonization strategies. ABSTRACT Understanding how pathogens infect different tissue types and how plants mount tissue‐specific defences against bacterial pathogens is critical for improving disease ...

Tomato plants control leaf sodium levels to limit damage by Spodoptera littoralis larvae

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3417-3427, June 2026.
Summary Sodium is an essential element for animal growth and survival. Here we test the hypothesis that plants exposed to insect feeding can translocate sodium from the feeding site to other plant organs as a defense strategy against phytophagous insects, which need sodium in their diet.
