Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus: A persistent seed‐borne threat to cucurbits

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a highly stable, seed‐borne tobamovirus that threatens global cucurbit production. Its efficient mechanical and seed transmission, long‐term environmental persistence, and the spread of Clade II CGMMV isolates drive its rapid dissemination and cause severe yield losses.

Forage Plant Host and Early Feeding Choices Affect Spodoptera litura Feeding, Development and Egg‐Laying

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 670-684, July 2026.
We assessed Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) performance on five common pasture plant species. Larvae consumed more dock, plantain and chicory per day than red or white clover, but with lower conversion efficiencies. Feeding on red clover reduced weights and egg laying, and lengthened development times compared with plantain.

SLCMV‐Encoded BC1 Protein Suppresses Photosynthesis by Disrupting Chloroplast Structure and Gene Expression

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
SLCMV infection suppresses photosynthesis by down‐regulating chloroplast‐ and photosystem‐related genes and disrupting chloroplast structure, a process largely mediated by the viral protein BC1. ABSTRACT Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus (SLCMV) is a highly destructive plant virus that poses a significant threat to cassava cultivation.

Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum PhcQ Controls Quorum Sensing‐Dependent Phenotypes by Binding PhcA and Maintaining Its Protein Stability

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
PhcQ is a key intermediary stabiliser of PhcA controlling quorum sensing‐dependent phenotypes by maintaining protein stability of PhcA. It is downstream of PhcB and upstream of PhcA in the QS regulatory cascade. It binds to PhcA; deletion of a disordered tail in the PhcA C‐terminus impairs its binding affinity.

Extracellular Vesicles: Key Mediators of Bioactive Molecule Transport in Plant–Microbe Interactions

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
This review summarizes the functions of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in plant–microbe interactions and highlights future research directions based on the current landscape. ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale, lipid‐bilayer particles released by cells, which transport a diverse array of bioactive cargo such as nucleic acids, proteins ...

Phytoplasma Effector SJP8 Suppresses Host Immunity by Promoting the Degradation of ZjMYB15 and ZjMYB86‐like to Perturb Jasmonic Acid and Hydrogen Peroxide Homeostasis in Jujube

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
SJP8 suppresses plant immunity by perturbing JA and H2O2 homeostasis via the SJP8‐ZjMYB15/ZjMYB86‐like‐ZjJAIPHX1/ZjPOD43 module, leading to dwarfism and chlorosis. ABSTRACT ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma ziziphi’ infection causes severe damage to jujube (Ziziphus jujuba), inducing symptoms such as branch clustering, dwarfism, chlorosis and phyllody, leading ...

The Moniliophthora roreri Effector MrB1 Affects Cellular Homeostasis and Induces Genotype‐Dependent Necrosis in Theobroma cacao

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
The effector MrB1 induces cytotoxicity in plant cells through oxidative stress, membrane damage, protein folding collapse, and energy failure. These alterations compromise cellular integrity and result in necrosis. ABSTRACT Frosty pod rot (FPR) is an invasive disease responsible for severe yield losses of cacao trees.

Beyond Starch: Towards a Scalable Potato Platform for Molecular Farming

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4619-4639, July 2026.
Re‐engineering potato as a biosafe and host‐optimised platform for plant molecular farming by integrating intrinsic biological traits with targeted engineering strategies. ABSTRACT Thirty‐five years after the first recombinant protein was produced in potato and 30 years after clinical trials of edible vaccines from its tubers, the crop is being ...

Functional Characterisation of HAIRPLUS (NtHAP) Genes Involved in Trichome Development and Specialised Metabolism of Tobacco

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4640-4655, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant glandular trichomes are specialised epidermal structures capable of synthesising, storing and secreting numerous varieties of secondary metabolites in different classes and are central to plant defence and the biosynthesis of high‐value metabolites.
