ABSTRACT Southern stem canker (SSC), caused by the fungus Diaporthe aspalathi, is one of the major constraints to soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) production in the southern United States and South America. Genetic resistance is the most effective strategy for managing SSC; however, the genetic architecture underlying resistance in elite southern ...

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Multiplexed Nanosensors for Real‐Time Monitoring of VOC‐Mediated Signalling Response in Plants
ABSTRACT To enhance crop performance, intercropping strategies leverage volatile organic compound (VOC)‐driven interactions with companion plants that constitutively emit VOCs. Despite the agricultural importance, the mechanisms and kinetics of VOC‐mediated sensory transduction in receiver plants eavesdropping on neighbouring non‐kin emitters remain ...

ABSTRACT Hydraulic activation of stomata (HAS), driven by hygroscopic salt films on leaf surfaces, can create an additional pathway for water loss beyond conventional stomatal vapour diffusion, yet this process remains largely overlooked in studies of plant–atmosphere interactions.

Disruption of Fatty Acid Desaturase Gene Alters Aphid Resistance and Volatile Emissions in Sorghum
ABSTRACT Jasmonic acid (JA)‐deficient msd3 sorghum mutants exhibit contrasting resistance phenotypes against sugarcane aphids (SCA; Melanaphis sacchari), which promotes aphid settling at early time points while providing antibiosis‐mediated resistance at later stages. Here we investigated the physiological, hormonal, and metabolic mechanisms underlying
