ICAG‐Net: An Interactive CNN–Transformer Architecture With Attention‐Guided Gated Fusion for Crop Disease Detection

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study presents an AI‐driven approach to smart agriculture focused on early detection of crop diseases, especially fungal infections, to enhance food security. An ensemble model combining a Custom CNN for local feature extraction and a pretrained vision transformer (ViT) for global context analysis is proposed.

Beech decline reshapes fine root traits, microbial composition and soil carbon–nutrient cycling

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study highlights the critical role of rhizosphere interactions in nutrient cycling and tree health. It was found that tree decline triggers cascading effects that influence fine root, microbial communities and soil enzyme activities in the rhizosphere.

A ‘Genome‐First’ Framework for Next‐Generation Bioinputs: From Functional Mining to Rational Synthetic Microbial Communities

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2026.
I propose a ‘genome‐first’ framework to collapse the phenotypic bottleneck in bioinput discovery. By integrating multi‐layered genome mining and reverse ecology, this paradigm enables the rational design of stable synthetic microbial communities for a data‐driven and sustainable agricultural bioeconomy.

Analysis of plant and environmental samples for the quarantine fungus Phyllosticta citricarpa in four European citrus‐growing areas

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 996-1012, May 2026.
Methodologies for the early detection of Phyllosticta citricarpa in air and rainwater samples were developed and applied over three consecutive years (2018–2021) in four European citrus sites, previously reported to harbour the pathogen. Phyllosticta citricarpa was not detected in plant, air, or rainwater samples, and no CBS symptoms were observed on ...

Climate Change Projected to Double the Richness and Abundance of Soilborne Phytopathogenic Fungi in Southern Maritime Antarctica

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
We sequenced fungal DNA in barren soils sampled from 12 sites along a 1900‐km transect through sub‐ and Maritime Antarctica and Patagonia. Using LASSO regression, we found air temperature ‐ and notably mean annual air temperature (BIO1) ‐ to be a highly significant predictor for the richness and relative abundance of soilborne plant pathogens.

Arabidopsis acclimation to daily environmental fluctuations converts a defense response regulator into a susceptibility factor toward Sclerotinia

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2516-2534, May 2026.
Summary Acclimation enables plants to adjust to immediate environmental fluctuations and is therefore key to the resilience of plant disease resistance in a time of climate change. Here, we report on the acclimation of Arabidopsis thaliana quantitative immune responses against the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum to daily environmental ...

Diversity and Distribution of Phytophthora Species Along an Elevation Gradient in Natural and Semi-Natural Forest Ecosystems in Portugal

Pathogens
Globally, forests are constantly threatened by a plethora of disturbances of natural and anthropogenic origin, such as climate change, forest fires, urbanization, and pollution.

H3K27me3‐Mediated Epigenetic Silencing of FgHMG1 Enables Fungal Host Immune Evasion

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2843-2857, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) is essential for fungal pathogenicity, yet its contribution to pathogen–host interactions remains incompletely understood. Here, we profiled H3K27me3 dynamics in Fusarium graminearum during infection and identified 132 H3K27me3‐marked genes (FgHMGs).

Commensal bacteria from crayfish cuticle and their potential significance in biocontrol of causative agent of crayfish plague [PDF]

, 2018
Patogeni iz razreda Oomycetes sve su veća prijetnja za biljne i životinjske vrste. Među njima je patogen Aphanomyces astaci (Schikora, 1906), uzročnik bolesti račje kuge, koji je uvršten na popis 100 najopasnijih invazivnih vrsta svijeta.
