Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Stored food products are highly vulnerable to infestation by insects and mites, resulting in significant postharvest losses worldwide. Plant‐derived bioactive compounds represent promising eco‐friendly alternatives to synthetic pesticides.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT New agricultural operating entities (NAOEs) are the organizational core of modern agricultural systems, yet whether and how they draw smallholders into green production remains empirically unsettled. Using survey data from 803 vegetable growers in Shandong Province, China, and combining the coefficient of variation method, propensity score ...

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Wind turbines influence several abiotic conditions in the environments they are sited in and may influence the behavior and movement of insect pollinators. It is unknown how operating turbines influence plant–pollinator interactions. To investigate if pollination dynamics could be affected by the presence of wind turbines, we recorded videos of ...

Advances in research on autophagy in the maintenance of insect–microbe symbiosis
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Autophagy plays a dual regulatory role in insect–microbe symbiotic relationships. Beneficial symbiotic bacteria in insects participate in nutrient exchange via the TOR pathway, whereas pathogenic microbes induce immune defense through the AMPK pathway. Autophagy‐related genes regulate development and pathogen clearance during this process.

Deciphering plant–pathogen interaction with single‐cell omics
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Recent advances in single‐cell omics have enabled the decoding of gene regulatory networks at the cellular resolution during pathogen challenge. This review summarizes the technological developments in plant single‐cell omics and highlights their unique advantages for dissecting nearly all stages of plant–pathogen interactions, including initial ...

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Tomato yellow leaf curl virus upregulates the Bemisia tabaci UDP‐glycosyltransferase gene UDP‐Bta06664. RNA interference (RNAi) silencing of this gene disrupts phloem feeding—delaying E1 and shortening E2—and reduces both virus acquisition and inoculation, highlighting its potential as an RNAi target.

OPTIMAL CONTROL OF PEST RESISTANCE TO TRANSGENIC CROP VARIETIES [PDF]
Transgenic corn varieties entered the market in 1996. These plant varieties carry a gene from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki, Bt, that makes the plant produce a toxin deadly to the pest insect European Corn Borer (ECB) Ostrinia ...

Uptake, metabolism, and bioremediation of neonicotinoid insecticides in soil–plant systems: A review
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.This review summarizes the uptake and metabolic transformation of neonicotinoid insecticides in plants, showing that some metabolites exhibit higher toxicity. We also critically assess promising bioremediation strategies using microbes and plant–microbe interactions to reduce residue contamination.
