The Australian Crop Mirid, Sidnia kinbergi Stål (Hemiptera: Miridae): Lifecycle, Agricultural Impact and Management

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Australian Crop Mirid (ACM), Sidnia kinbergi Stål (Hemiptera: Miridae), is highly polyphagous and is endemic to Australia. It is widely distributed across Australia and New Zealand and feeds on a wide range of agricultural crops. ACM has traditionally been a pest of forage crops and legumes but has recently emerged as a key pest of several

Preliminary Functional Group Patterns of Arthropods in a Maize Field and Adjacent Cultivated Refuge Strip in South Africa

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural intensification is a major driver of global arthropod declines. Habitat management strategies, such as cultivated refuge strips (CRS), can counteract these effects by enhancing biodiversity, promoting conservation biological control and improving agroecosystem resilience.

Medicago super-pangenome reveals adaptive advantages and evolutionary constraints in autotetraploid alfalfa

Nature Communications
The genetic basis for the adaptive advantages of polyploids over their diploid relatives remains poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we generate a haplotype-resolved autotetraploid alfalfa (Medicago sativa subsp.

Green leaves of alfalfa used in therapeutical purposes

, 2015
Medicago Sativa, also known as fodder for animals, has the propriety to increase the content of organic substance from the soil. After the biological, chemical and biochemical research on this plant, there was found an important/significant content of ...

Deep roots through time and crops: insight from five seasons at DeepRootLab

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2670-2688, May 2026.
Summary Deep‐rooted crops accessing water and nutrients from deep soil layers enhance the resource base for crop production. However, studying these roots in field conditions is labour‐intensive, limiting research scope. We established a field root research facility with 48 plots for replicated experiments.

Beneficial rhizobacteria and virus infection modulate the soybean metabolome and influence the feeding preferences of the virus vector Epilachna varivestis

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2599-2618, May 2026.
Summary Beneficial rhizobacteria and viral pathogens can both alter host plant phenotypes, yet little is known about how their simultaneous presence influences plant metabolism and species interactions. We investigated how two rhizobacteria, Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Delftia acidovorans, together with bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), shape soybean ...

Autoactive MtDMI1 Reprogrammes Immunity and Development in Tomato via Ethylene Signalling

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2861-2875, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Common Symbiosis Signalling Pathway (CSSP) underpins interactions between plants and microbes, yet its potential for crop improvement remains underexplored. Here, we investigated the gain‐of‐function mutant SPD1 (MtDMI1S760N), which constitutively activates the symbiotic signalling pathway in Medicago truncatula, by expressing it in tomato

S2‐PepAnalyst: A Web Tool for Predicting Plant Small Signalling Peptides

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3244-3260, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Small signalling peptides (SSPs) serve as crucial mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication in plants, orchestrating diverse physiological processes from development to stress responses. While recent advances in sequencing technologies have improved genome annotation, the identification of novel SSPs remains challenging due to their small size ...

Fully Tunable Phosphorylation of RPS6A Ensures the Successful Development of Arabidopsis Seedlings

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 2783-2794, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Light enhances protein translation, enabling young seedlings to rapidly and timely acquire photosynthetic capacities. Sequential phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 (RPS6) was implicated in the light‐enhanced translation; however, the exact phosphorylation sites and the biological relevance of RPS6 multi‐phosphorylation in seedling ...
