Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes can form a hydrophobic barrier on aerial plant surfaces, which is essential for mediating plant‐environment interactions by providing protection against both biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, a cuticular wax mutant (gl) was identified and characterised in Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.), exhibiting a functional ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

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.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 12, Page 1313-1320, December 2025.Effective cumulative temperature and developmental zero point are key predictors of organismal development and distribution. Traditionally considered species‐specific, these values can vary within populations due to genetic differences. Yet, the role of selection pressures in shaping them remains unexplored.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 12, Page 8561-8572, December 2025.ABSTRACT Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are key biological control agents in agriculture, but their direct effects on plant metabolism and resistance to herbivory remain underexplored. By combining transcriptomic, metabolomic, and herbivore assays, this study aimed at providing a holistic description of maize root responses to EPNs and to assess ...

Evolutionary Changes of GT1 Provide Insights Into the Adaptation of Butterflies to Plant Feeding
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.We investigated the evolution of glycosyltransferase 1 (GT1) genes in 69 butterfly species to explore their association with host plant adaptation. Our results reveal frequent tandem duplications and adaptive selection in GT1s, especially in UGT33 and UGT40 subfamilies, alongside expression patterns suggesting functional diversification.
