Radical dystopia: The comic modernism of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty‐Four

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract The present essay turns the received view of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty‐Four on its head, arguing that Orwell's dystopian classic mobilizes the modernist techniques of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land to lampoon the ideological fatalism of Eliot and other cultural conservatives.

Durum Wheat cv. Svevo Reference Genome Rel.2.0: A Comprehensive Tool for Wheat Genomics

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advancements in plant genome sequencing and assembly have enabled the production of increasingly accurate and contiguous genome sequences. Here, we present the chromosome‐level assembly of the durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum, cv. Svevo) reference genome produced using accurate long‐reads, optical mapping and Hi‐C. The new assembly

Trichomes in Plant Defence, Development and Metabolic Integration Under Environmental Stress

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among various plant defence strategies, trichomes are tiny hair‐like structures on the epidermis that aid in defence, environmental adaptation and the production of valuable secondary metabolites. This review features trichomes as frontline guards for plant survival, integrating their structural, physiological and metabolic roles in ...

Differential Susceptibility of Nine Cucurbit Species to the Foliar Blight and Crown Canker Phases of Gummy Stem Blight [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2014
Eighteen cucurbit cultivars representing five genera, nine species, and 17 horticultural types were inoculated with Didymella bryoniae in field plots in Charleston, SC, in autumn 2008, autumn 2009, and spring 2011 to determine susceptibility to gummy stem blight.

Consistent root microbiomes across contrasting habitats in a wild perennial vine

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1880-1898, October 2026.
Communities of bacteria and fungi associated with the roots are similar across diverse habitats in a wild plant. Abstract While we are beginning to understand that the plant microbiome is important for plant health, we still lack information about how plant microbiomes are shaped across environments and how they influence plant performance, in ...

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Long Noncoding RNA–Messenger RNA (lncRNA–mRNA) Network in Resistance to Gummy Stem Blight (Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum) of Melon Plant Introduction (PI) 420145

Horticulturae
Gummy stem blight (GSB), caused by Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum (Didymella bryoniae), poses a growing threat to greenhouse melon production. Despite this, the defense mechanism of melon against S. cucurbitacearum remains poorly understood.

Rootstock impacts on citrus flush dynamics, vegetative growth, and Diaphorina citri infestation and dispersion: Implications for huanglongbing management

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8795-8809, September 2026.
Dwarfing citrus rootstocks restrict flush shoot growth on the scion, thereby reducing Asian citrus psyllid infestation, dispersal, and huanglongbing (HLB) progression. These findings support the use of dwarfing rootstocks as an effective cultural strategy in integrated HLB management for citrus orchards.

Coniferyl aldehyde from the phenylpropanoid pathway targets pyruvate kinase in Dactylobotrys graminicola to confer sheath rot resistance in hulless barley

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 9, Page 3490-3507, September 2026.
Hulless barley resists the newly identified sheath rot disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Dactylobotrys graminicola by releasing coniferyl aldehyde, a natural compound that disrupts energy production in the fungus. ABSTRACT Dactylobotrys graminicola (Dgr), a necrotrophic fungal pathogen, has recently been identified as the causative ...

Rapid and sensitive detection of Didymella bryoniae by visual loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Didymella bryoniae is a pathogenic fungus that causes gummy stem blight (GSB) in Cucurbitaceae crops (e.g. cantaloupe, muskmelon, cucumber, and watermelon). GSB produces lesions on the stems and leaves, and can also be spread by seeds. Here, we developed
