Innate immunity shapes the persistent transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
In this review, we focus on two key aspects of the virus–vector interplay: (1) persistently transmitted viruses utilize host factors to overcome transmission barriers; and (2) molecular recognition activates antiviral immunity and subsequent viral counter‐defense. Understanding these interactions offers critical insights for developing novel strategies

Nano-encapsulated Litsea cubeba essential oil in chitosan nanoparticles induces toxicological and physiological disruption in Nilaparvata lugens

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) is a destructive rice pest in Asia, causing significant yield losses through sap feeding and virus transmission. We developed an eco-friendly nano-encapsulation system using chitosan nanoparticles (CS

Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

A national crop wild relative checklist for Zimbabwe reveals edible crop wild relative diversity of regional and global importance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop wild relatives (CWR) in Zimbabwe are reservoirs of beneficial agronomic traits, yet they remain under‐documented and poorly conserved. This study developed Zimbabwe's first national CWR checklist based on a conceptual framework combining floristic, ecological and ethnobotanical data, revealing over 2700 taxa, with nearly 1000 edible species ...

Effects of Parasitism and Venom from the Endoparasitoid Brachymeria lasus on Immunity of the Host Galleria mellonella

Insects
The pupal endoparasitoid B. lasus injects venom into its host G. mellonella during oviposition, yet knowledge about the venom remains limited. This study explores how parasitism and venom from B. lasus impair the host’s cellular and humoral immunity.

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.
