Pinus‐derived membrane vesicles disrupt pathogenic metabolism in fungi

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Needle‐derived vesicles from pine trees impair fungal metabolism and growth, offering a sustainable strategy to control pine pitch canker disease. Abstract Much of what we know about the biological impacts of vesicles (MVs) is derived from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Effects of Meloidogyne incognita on agronomic parameters and structural changes in eggplant (Solanum gilo Raddi) roots treated with Purpureocillium lilacinum

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Meloidogyne incognita impairs eggplant growth through gall formation with changes in root cell wall components and vascular tissue disruption, while the biocontrol agent Purpureocillium lilacinum mitigates these effects by reducing nematode infection. Abstract Meloidogyne spp. induce structural changes during the development of root‐knot galls, leading

Integrated pest management uptake in UK fresh produce: Barriers and opportunities

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 3, November 2026.
This article explores the barriers to, and opportunities for, uptake of Integrated Pest Management in the UK fresh produce industry, through interviews with 24 key stakeholders. Findings suggest that the diversity of horticultural crops means IPM definitions and practices are inconsistent and hard to legislate and government policy has created ...

Challenges and Future Directives of Synthetic Biology in Engineering Plant–Microbe Partnerships for Sustainable Agriculture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 10, Page 2491-2519, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Synthetic biology has recently proven to be a valuable tool for enhancing agriculture even in the face of environmental and biological stresses. Understanding the challenges that militate synthetic biology will assist in ensuring safe, stable, and scalable crop production.

Polycationic Peptide Engineering of Phage Endolysins Expands Host Range and Enhances Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activities Against Bacillus Species

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 10, Page 2788-2801, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The exponential rise in antimicrobial resistance has highlighted the urgent need for the development of alternative antibacterial strategies, including phage‐derived and engineered protein agents such as endolysins and artilysins. In this study, we report the rational design, expression, and functional characterization of novel artilysins ...

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2134-2157, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Metagenomic Insights Into Microbial Diversity of Tea Rhizosphere of the Kangra Valley

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Tea rhizosphere microbial communities in Kangra Valley. ABSTRACT This study provides the first metagenomic assessment of microbial diversity from the tea rhizosphere of the Kangra valley. Tea rhizosphere soil samples were collected from 4 locations (Dharamshala, Baijnath, Palampur, and Joginder Nagar) of the Kangra valley.
