Micro/Nanoscale Acoustic Manipulation: From Particle Control to Autonomous Microswimmers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This conceptual framework illustrates acoustic technology as a multifunctional platform enabling passive particle manipulation across scales and autonomous propulsion of microswimmers. ABSTRACT Acoustic manipulation and propulsion technologies have emerged as powerful platforms for micro/nanoscale control, enabled by their non‐contact operation, label ...

Bacillus firmus I-1582 promotes plant growth and impairs infection and development of the cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii over two generations

Scientific Reports, 2021
Plant-parasitic nematodes wreak havoc on crops by root parasitism worldwide. An approach to combat nematode root parasitism is the application of antagonistic microbes like the rhizobacterium Bacillus firmus I-1582 which is promoted as biological control

Editorial: Nematodes: an integrated pest management approach

Frontiers in Plant Science
Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) cause severe crop damage and yield losses on economically important crops worldwide. A recent report of such losses for the 40 life-sustaining crops with impressing figures for food and export recorded an average of 13.5% retardations; equalled USD 358.24 billion annually.

Risk management externalities in agrifood supply chains

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Firms may under‐ or over‐invest in risk management from the social planner's perspective, resulting in a negative externality on other economic agents in the supply chain. The externality of risk management is particularly relevant for agrifood supply chains, which frequently experience disruptions and play a primary role in preventing major ...

Metabarcoding-based characterization of soil nematode communities to assess soil health in viticulture

Ecological Indicators
Agricultural practices profoundly impact soil health, yet the tools available to assess these effects remain limited and require further refinement. Soil nematodes are valuable bioindicators of agroecosystem health due to their role in nutrient cycling ...

A rhesus macaque model of α‐dystroglycanopathy caused by a POMT1 splice altering variant

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Rhesus macaques homozygous for a naturally occurring spice altering variant in the POMT1 gene develop lissencephaly, microphthalmia, and muscular contracture. The presentation models severe presentation of the human Walker‐Warburg syndrome. Abstract Background Biallelic mutations in genes associated with α‐dystroglycan glycosylation manifest in a ...

Bio-ecological characteristics of invasive foliar nematode Aphelenchoides fragariae and its safe and effective management [PDF]

Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management
Aphelenchoides fragariae, the foliar nematode, is an emerging phytosanitary threat in Indonesia, attacking horticulturals. Initially documented on Andrographis paniculata in 2003, it has now extended to strawberry, shallot, garlic, dracaena, and several ...

Integration of Nutrition and Organic Agriculture Framework in Managing Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Ruminants

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Gastrointestinal nematode infections damage the gastrointestinal epithelial tissues of ruminants, affecting nutrient utilization and overall production performance. This review outlines host‐gastrointestinal nematode interactions and discusses integrated control strategies, including nutritional supplementation, grazing management, vaccines, and ...

Integrated nematode management of Ditylenchus dipsaci in onion: a nematode in a world all on its own.

, 2021
Stem and bulb nematode, Ditylenchus dipsaci, is one of the few plant parasitic nematode species infesting above-ground plant parts. It can be transmitted through infested planting material and seed, survive longer periods in the soil, has a broad host range and a relatively short life cycle and high multiplication rate.

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...
