Population genomic analyses reveal extensive genomic regions within selective sweeps associated with adaptation and demographic history of a wheat fungal pathogen

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Applying population genomics, this study revealed that Pst exhibits slower linkage disequilibrium decay compared to rust fungi with known sexual reproduction, identified extensive hard and soft sweeps linked to Pst adaptation, and demonstrated that crop domestication and breeding programs have significantly influenced pathogen population sizes ...

Occurrence and integrated control of major rice diseases in China

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Rice is constantly under threat from a variety of pathogens. This review highlights the major diseases affecting rice in China, including three fungal diseases, two bacterial diseases, two viral diseases, and one nematode. The review also proposes future directions for an integrated approach to control these significant rice diseases.

Multitrophic interactions: How plant defense is amplified by entomopathogenic nematode‐infected cadavers

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Entomopathogenic nematode‐infected cadavers trigger plants to release volatile organic compounds that deter herbivores, attract parasitic wasps, and boost defense responses, highlighting their potential for sustainable pest management. Abstract Grasping the dynamics between plants and herbivores, as well as the defenses triggered by insects, may hold ...

Terroir and rootstock effects on leaf shape in California Central Valley vineyards

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The innumerable effects of terroir—including climate, soil, microbial environment, biotic interactions, and cultivation practice—collectively alter plant performance and production. A more direct agricultural intervention is grafting, in which genetically distinct shoot and root genotypes are surgically combined to create a chimera that alters shoot ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal genotype and nuclear organization as driving factors in host plant nutrient acquisition and stable carbon storage

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
It is crucial to develop strategies for reducing our continued excessive global increases in fertilizer applications and to offset CO2 emissions. The pervasive underground hyphal networks of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) present an enticing bio‐stimulant and carbon sink. We inoculated Sudan‐grass plants with eight genotypically distinct strains of

Interactions of rare earth elements with living organisms and emerging biotechnical applications

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical resources required to achieve net‐zero carbon emission targets and energy security. However, rising demand for REEs coupled with significant extraction and processing challenges and geopolitical risks restricts access to REE resources.

Cloning, Characterization, and Computer‐Aided Evolution of a Thermostable Laccase of the DUF152 Family From Klebsiella michiganensis

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacterial laccases exhibit relatively high optimal reaction temperatures and possess a broad substrate spectrum, thereby expanding the range of potential applications for laccase enzymes. This study aims to investigate the molecular evolution of bacterial laccases using computational 3D‐structure prediction and molecular docking tools such as ...

Characterisation of aphid antixenosis in aphid‐resistant ancestor wheat, Triticum monococcum

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A blend of 21 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from Sitobion avenae‐infested Triticum monococcum accessions MDR045 and MDR049 was identified and shown to induce antixenosis towards alate S. avenae. Abstract BACKGROUND Due to the increasing presence of insecticide resistance across cereal aphid populations, new aphid management strategies ...
