Identification of Natural Isonitriles Through Ligation to an Azomethine Imine Probe

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 11, 16 March 2026.
The azomethine imine (AMI)–isonitrile (NC) ligation allowed for the chemoselective detection of natural isonitriles in bacteria and fungi. The reactivity‐based screening establishes a new stereogenic center, thereby allowing for facile distinction between chiral and achiral isonitriles. The work also unraveled a unique reactivity of isonitriles bearing

FGB1 and WSC3 are in planta-induced beta-glucan-binding fungal lectins with different functions [PDF]

, 2019
In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin-like members of the expanded multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially involved in beta-glucan remodeling at the fungal cell wall.

Molecular and Structural Characterization of Foam Proteins from Mahanarva spectabilis (Distant, 1909) (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) Nymphs Reveals Adaptive Features and Potential Targets for Pest Control

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 121, Issue 2, February 2026.
Nymphs of Mahanarva spectabilis produce a protective foam that supports survival, reduces plant damage, and contributes to adult population establishment. Proteomic profiling combined with protein sequencing and structural modeling revealed foam proteins enriched in functional domains associated with environmental resilience.

Weather Conditions and the Risk of Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) in Tomato Producing Areas in Southern Ghana

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Tomato farmers in southern Ghana incur losses due to the infection of crops by the tomato spotted wilt virus (Orthotospovirus tomatomaculae). The occurrence of the virus varies among individual tomato crops, influenced by the vector population and changing weather patterns. This study investigates the effect of early spring weather conditions (

From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...
