Leaf heat tolerance in a native Californian shrub responds in expected and unexpected ways to differences in range, season, and sunlight exposure

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Earth's ecosystems are experiencing wide‐ranging impacts from global climate change, including increased average and extreme temperatures. These temperature shifts can drastically affect plant physiology, threatening the future of even common plant species. Here, we focus on photosynthetic function in a native Southern California shrub species.

A composite, host‐participatory haustorium links host compatibility to defence bifurcation in Alectra vogelii (Orobanchaceae)

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Parasitic weeds of the family Orobanchaceae are among the most damaging constraints on food production in the tropics, draining water and nutrients from their hosts and threatening the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers. Yellow witchweed (Alectra vogelii) can destroy entire legume harvests across sub‐Saharan Africa, where these crops are a ...

Transcriptomic resources and functional validation of RNAi in the cabbage seedpod weevil, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Transcriptome sequencing of Ceutorhynchus obstrictus revealed RNA interference (RNAi) targets; double‐stranded RNA microinjection reduced transcript levels and increased mortality, with αCOP and Rop showing strongest lethal effects, indicating promising RNAi‐based pest control candidates.

Presence and abundance of airborne Botryosphaeriaceae conidia are governed by temperature and season in the Okanagan Valley, Canada

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Presence and abundance of Botryosphaeria dieback inoculum were determined using spore trapping and droplet digital polymerase chain reaction in British Columbia, Canada. Highest inoculum was recorded in spring (April–June) and again in summer (July–September). These results suggest early pruning in December–January can mitigate pruning wound infections.

Strain‐specific monitoring of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens AH2 in strawberry fields using a specific molecular marker

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
A novel strain‐specific TaqMan quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay targeting the hsdM gene was developed to monitor Bacillus amyloliquefaciens AH2 in strawberries, providing a foundational tool to optimize biocontrol management. Abstract BACKGROUND The biocontrol agent Bacillus amyloliquefaciens AH2 is effective against Botrytis cinerea in ...

Notoginsenoside R2 Antagonizes Renal Interstitial Fibrosis by Regulating Fatty Acid Oxidation via the CASP2/ALDH3A1 Axis

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Proposed mechanism by which notoginsenoside R2 (NGR2) attenuates renal interstitial fibrosis. In injured renal tubular epithelial cells, CASP2 downregulation and enhanced ubiquitin‐dependent degradation of ALDH3A1 disrupt mitochondria‐associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs) and impair fatty acid oxidation (FAO), leading to lipid accumulation ...

Agrivoltaic Lettuce Production Under Future Climates: A Sustainable Strategy for Optimizing Food and Energy Yields

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food system resilience is increasingly challenged by climate change and global trade volatility, even in high‐income nations like Canada. Agrivoltaics—co‐locating crops and photovoltaics (PV)–offers a sustainable production strategy to optimize land use and address both food and energy security.

Oral Microalgae‐Laden Hydrogels Modulating the Intestinal Microbiota Metabolism for Acute Alcohol‐Induced Liver Injury Therapy

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A food‐grade microalgae‐laden hydrogel (FMH) enables efficient in situ microalgae cultivation and serves as an oral therapeutic platform for acute alcohol‐induced liver injury. FMH improves alcohol tolerance, alleviates oxidative stress, inflammation, and lipid metabolic disorders, restores gut microbial homeostasis, and provides synergistic ...
