PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 965-982, May 2026.Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4089-4103, May 2026.Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S47-S68, May 2026.Abstract This paper explores the relationship between wetland ecosystems and prehistoric lakeshore settlements within the Lake Ohrid basin (a biodiversity hotspot) by considering plant food systems at Ploča Mičov Grad, North Macedonia. The mid‐fifth millennium (c.4555–4373 to 4437–4241 cal BCE) waterlogged assemblage contained a diverse spectrum of ...

Underutilised crops in Europe: An interdisciplinary approach towards sustainable practices
Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S31-S46, May 2026.Abstract In the context of a rapidly growing global population and significant climatic and environmental change, there is an urgent need to produce nutritious food in a sustainable manner. Some crops are underutilised in Europe, despite their suitability to local environments, viability for sustainable production and potential to improve diets.

Host Status of Wheat Cultivars to Meloidogyne javanica and M. arenaria
Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT Nowadays, wheat is one of the most important crops in southern Brazil, where it is usually grown in soybean systems. Therefore, one of the constraints is the occurrence of plant‐parasitic nematodes, such as Meloidogyne species. We aimed to evaluate the host status of six selected wheat cultivars (‘TBIO Ponteiro’, ‘TBIO Duque’, ‘Lenox’, ‘TBIO ...

Scaling law links plant growth variation to grain yield in wheat stands
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2163-2175, May 2026.Summary Growth rate, a fundamental trait associated with plant resource use, scales with plant mass, following consistent allometric power laws shaped by biophysical constraints and natural selection captured in metabolic scaling theory (MST). Although well‐established in wild plants, MST has been overlooked in crop improvement.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2652-2669, May 2026.Summary Wild crop relatives are valuable genetic resources for improving stress adaptation in cultivated species, but their effective use depends on high‐quality reference genomes integrated with phenotypic and molecular datasets. Hordeum erectifolium, a wild relative of barley (H.

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2939-2955, May 2026.ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3407-3425, May 2026.ABSTRACT Heat stress significantly damages crop yield and quality. PLATZ (PLANT A/T‐RICH SEQUENCE‐AND ZINC‐BINDING PROTEIN) transcription factors play pivotal roles in plant growth, development, and environmental stress responses. While the functions of PLATZ members in response to drought and salt stress are well characterised, their roles in heat ...
