Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.The effector MrB1 induces cytotoxicity in plant cells through oxidative stress, membrane damage, protein folding collapse, and energy failure. These alterations compromise cellular integrity and result in necrosis. ABSTRACT Frosty pod rot (FPR) is an invasive disease responsible for severe yield losses of cacao trees.

Cassava production systems optimized for double output: Seed‐cuttings and root yields
Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a strategic crop for food security but continues to face major challenges related to low root yields and the lack of optimized systems for producing high‐quality seed‐cuttings. This study evaluated the effects of different planting densities, varieties, and agrochemical‐based seed‐cutting treatments ...

Yield, stability, and plasticity of Arabica coffee genotypes under contrasting pruning systems
Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Coffee yield instability caused by biennial bearing causes coffee yield instability, reducing production predictability and farm income. Biennial drastic pruning (Zero Crop), which alternates harvest and no‐harvest years, has been proposed to reduce this instability, but its benefits depend on genotype performance under contrasting management.

Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...

Designing superior crosses in cassava using genomic mating to boost yield and genetic diversity
Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.Abstract Identifying superior cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) crosses through phenotypic evaluations is costly and inefficient due to cassava's long breeding cycles and low flowering rates. In this study, we applied genomic mate selection and optimum contribution selection using additive, dominance, and directional dominance models to enhance ...

Genetic consequences of domestication and refreshment on colonies of the South American fruit fly
Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1557-1574, October 2025.Abstract For almost a decade, natural populations of the South American fruit fly have been targeted for control through Sterile Insect Technique projects. To ensure a sustainable supply of competitive sterile flies for this approach, it is essential to understand the effects of domestication when strains of this pest are initially brought into the ...

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1607-1620, October 2025.Isolation Index (ISI) estimates were obtained from mating compatibility tests between flies of the different laboratory strains from CENA/USP and wild populations (Vacaria‐WV; and Pelotas‐WP) from southern Brazil. Abstract In cases where a pest that is target of a Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) campaign is a member of a cryptic species complex, it is ...

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2025, Issue 9, September 2025.Many species of the Bromeliaceae are under threat due to the fragmentation and anthropogenic pressure affecting the Atlantic Forest highlight the need to conservation efforts. The genus Hohenbergia deserves special attention in this context, as the Hohenbergia stellata complex includes endemic species that rely on diverse reproductive strategies, which
