RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5971-5986, July 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

Potato leafroll virus: A re‐emerging threat to sustainable potato production

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) is a positive‐strand RNA virus. Virus particles of PLRV are isometric, 24 nm in diameter. PLRV is the causal agent of leafroll disease in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) which causes significant losses in yield and quality of potato tubers.

Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 693-705, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

SlGRF1 mediates gibberellin signaling to control cut‐budding in tomato

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 2087-2104, July 2026.
Upon wounding, cytokinin increases to initiate callus formation. Gibberellin enhances this, but later blocks bud formation by suppressing SlGRF1. Wounding‐induced protein SlGRF1 triggers buds via NAM1, EPF4, and ER2. Hormonal shifts control cut‐budding phases.

FcMAPK4‐phosphorylated FcNOR activates FcERF5 to promote fig fruit softening through activation of FcPG12 expression

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 2264-2284, July 2026.
In Ficus carica fruit, the MAP kinase FcMAPK4 phosphorylates the NAC transcription factor FcNOR, which cooperates with ethylene response factor FcERF5 to activate the pectin degradation gene FcPG12, thereby promoting rapid softening of fig fruit. ABSTRACT Rapid softening of fig (Ficus carica L.) fruit during ripening leads to extremely short shelf life;

Pangenome analysis reveals the genetic mechanism underlying high‐altitude adaptation in Qinghai–Xizang (Tibet) Plateau Rhododendron

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 2166-2188, July 2026.
Pan‐genome analysis reveals that high‐altitude Rhododendron species resist alpine cold stress by rapidly sensing and engaging the chilling response pathway and genes that directly and indirectly protect the plant from UV radiation. Heritable genomic features such as long terminal repeats contribute to the adaptive diversification of Rhododendron ...

An N‐acetyltransferase‐MAPK fusion protein modulates developmental reprogramming in Physcomitrium patens

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 321-339, July 2026.
Summary We discovered a previously uncharacterized moss‐specific protein, Rosetta NATD‐MAPK 1 (RAK1) in Physcomitrium patens, which uniquely integrates MAP kinase (MAPK)‐dependent signaling with N‐acetyltransferase activity. Through phenotypical and biochemical analyses, we characterized RAK1 function in the regulation of the 2D‐to‐3D growth transition.

A Bioluminescent Reporter System for Real‐Time Monitoring of the Unfolded Protein Response in Plants

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4468-4470, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a critical mechanism for maintaining endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis under stress. Here, we developed a bioluminescent reporter system, AtbZIP60‐LUC, in Arabidopsis to dynamically monitor ER stress by coupling IRE1‐mediated splicing of bZIP60 mRNA to firefly luciferase (LUC) expression.

The Transcription Factor OsWRKY64 Interacts With OsART1 to Positively Regulate Al Resistance in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4656-4671, July 2026.
A proposed working model illustrating the cooperative regulation of Al tolerance by OsWRKY64 and OsART1 in rice. Under Al stress conditions in acidic soil, the transcription factor OsART1 directly binds to the promoter of OsWRKY64 to activate its transcription. The synthesized OsWRKY64 protein then physically interacts with OsART1 in the nucleus.
