Association mapping for hop cone chemistry and morphology identifies natural beneficial allele stacks

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Efforts are underway to increase the efficiency and precision of selection hop (Humulus lupulus L.) breeding using genomics. Little is known, however, about the genetic control of important traits like α‐and β‐acids contents, oil content, and cone morphological characteristics, all of which play an important role in determining the utility and

Methionine Synthase Positively Regulates Plant Defence to Both RNA and DNA Viruses and Is Useful for Developing Broad‐Spectrum Antiviral Resistance in Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3821-3839, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant viruses frequently cause severe economic losses in worldwide crop production. Developing broad‐spectrum resistance is the most efficient approach for controlling plant viral diseases. In this work, we found that the 17K protein of barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDVs), which has multiple functions in viral pathogenesis including acting as ...

Population management of cone and seed insects in spruce seed orchards [PDF]

, 2011
Seed orchards have been established in order to produce high quality seeds for reforestation and forestation. However, seed production in spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seed orchards is severely hampered by cone- and seed-feeding insects.

Are neonicotinoid insecticides driving declines of widespread butterflies? [PDF]

, 2015
There has been widespread concern that neonicotinoid pesticides may be adversely impacting wild and managed bees for some years, but recently attention has shifted to examining broader effects they may be having on biodiversity.

Soybean response to cover crop and nitrogen fertilizer timing on sandy soil

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract The potential for nitrogen (N) fertilization to increase soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield is known to vary with environmental conditions, but the effects of N timing and rate remain unclear in sandy soils. A 2‐year field study was conducted in central Wisconsin to determine the effect of a rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop and N ...

Comparative Insights Into Detoxification, Regulation, and Evolution of Neonicotinoid Resistance in Three Planthoppers

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 1, May 2026.
Integrated neonicotinoid resistance mechanism in planthoppers. ABSTRACT Planthoppers, the brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens), white‐backed planthopper (WBPH, Sogatella furcifera), and small BPH (SBPH, Laodelphax striatellus) are among the most destructive rice pests in Asia.

Investigation of Potential Risks in Bio‐Based Food Contact Materials (FCMs) From Microbial Exploitation of Agricultural Wastes: Case Studies of Bacterial Cellulose and Nisin

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In the context of the circular economy and the increasing demand for safe and sustainable packaging, this work addresses the safety assessment of food contact materials (FCMs) derived from agro‐industrial by‐products. Despite growing interest in these bio‐based materials, the literature still lacks a structured safety‐assessment framework able
