Morphology and anatomy of leaf mine in Richterago riparia Roque (Asteraceae) in the campos rupestres of Serra do Cipó, Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
The leaf mine in Richterago riparia is caused by a lepidopteran larva (lepidopteronome). The leaves of R. riparia show campdodrome venation; the epidermis is unistratified, with stomata and glandular trichomes in adaxial and abaxial surfaces.

Impact of cultural practices on two‐spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) infestation in tomato cultivation in the Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia

open access: yesCrop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract The two‐spotted spider mite (TSSM; Tetranychus urticae Koch) is a major pest of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), causing substantial yield and quality losses in Ethiopia and worldwide. The present study evaluated the impact of tomato branch pruning and trellising on TSSM populations and yield in the Central Rift Valley tomato production area ...

Spatial analysis of cell patterning to aid genetic and phenotypic understanding of grass stomatal density: A case study in maize

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Biological processes involve complex hierarchies where composite traits result from multiple component traits. However, holistically understanding of how sets of component traits interact to underpin genotype‐to‐phenotype relationships is generally lacking.

UAV‐based RGB and multispectral vegetation indices as alternatives to light box‐derived dark green color index for turfgrass color assessment

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Traditionally, turfgrass color has been assessed through visual ratings or light box‐based digital image analysis, methods that are either subjective or labor‐intensive. In this study, we evaluated the potential of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)‐based multispectral and red‐green‐blue (RGB) imagery as a high‐throughput alternative for capturing ...

Genome‐wide association analysis of resistance to scald in an adapted multiparent winter malting barley population

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Scald, caused by the fungus Rhynchosporium graminicola Heinsen 1897, is a major foliar disease in winter malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L). Resistance to scald in winter malting barley is controlled by major and minor resistance genes. We used a population of 377 lines derived from biparental crosses among five winter malting barley parents ...

Tracking Sodium Inside the Plant: Hydraulic Adjustments to Deal With Salinity

open access: yesJournal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Sorghum is a crop that has become more relevant in recent years due to its uses and properties (biofuel, gluten‐free flour) as well as its versatility to grow in unfavourable environmental conditions. Salinity is one of the main abiotic stresses affecting crop production and yield worldwide.

Biochar and K‐fertigation modulate stomatal behaviour, ion homeostasis and water use efficiency in waxy maize seedlings under salt stress

open access: yesJournal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 6, November 2026.
Efficacy of wheat straw biochar in alleviating salt stress under K‐fertigation via improved photosynthesis, water use efficiency and ion homeostasis in waxy maize. ABSTRACT K‐fertigation and soil amendment could ameliorate the adverse effects of saline stress on C4 crop physiology and performance, yet the underlying mechanisms remained largely elusive.

Drought‐Induced Anatomical Compensation Stabilizes Gas Exchange in Sorghum

open access: yesJournal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought limits carbon gain in crops, yet the functional role of bulliform cells in regulating gas exchange and water‐use efficiency remains unclear. Here, we tested whether natural variation in bulliform size alters carbon assimilation rate and whole‐leaf water‐use efficiency in Sorghum bicolor.

Morphology and anatomy of leaf mine in Richterago riparia Roque (Asteraceae) in the campos rupestres of Serra do Cipó, Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2002
The leaf mine in Richterago riparia is caused by a lepidopteran larva (lepidopteronome). The leaves of R. riparia show campdodrome venation; the epidermis is unistratified, with stomata and glandular trichomes in adaxial and abaxial surfaces.
