Unlocking lentil yield potential: A genotype‐specific approach using phosphate‐solubilizing biofertilizer enhances phosphorus efficiency

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The environmental drawbacks of chemical phosphate fertilizers have heightened interest in biofertilizers as sustainable alternatives. However, their efficacy is frequently genotype‐dependent, a factor often neglected in broad recommendations. This study investigated the interaction between the phosphate‐solubilizing biofertilizer Barvar 2 and ...

Endophytic Bacteria From the Roots of the Medicinal Plant Alkanna tinctoria Tausch (Boraginaceae): Exploration of Plant Growth Promoting Properties and Potential Role in the Production of Plant Secondary Metabolites

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Alkannin and shikonin (A/S) are enantiomeric naphthoquinones produced in the roots of certain plants from the Boraginaceae family such as Lithospermum spp. and Alkanna spp. They possess antimicrobial, anti-tumoral and wound healing properties.

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.
Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

Treatment of cotton with plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria consortium alters host location and oviposition of Spodoptera exigua

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7123-7136, July 2026.
Two plant‐growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) consortia (AU8 and TX1) induced a deterrence of host plant location and oviposition behavior of Spodoptera exigua females in both susceptible and resistant cotton plants. Most of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) increased in PGPR‐treated plants compared to untreated plants. # indicates treatments not

Symbiont‐Mediated Detoxification of Xenobiotics in Honey Bees

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
This Opinion proposes that honey bee detoxification should be viewed as a holobiont trait. Gut microbes can transform selected ingested xenobiotics and modulate host detoxification pathways, providing a basis for microbial biotechnology strategies to protect pollinators.

The grapevine microbiota: A review on the possible impacts of plant protection programs on phyllosphere microorganisms

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
This review highlights recent advances in understanding how plant protection programs and alternative fungicides affect the taxonomic composition of the grapevine phyllosphere microbiota. Bacterial and fungal communities are primarily shaped by the plant compartment, vineyard location, and sampling time. Plant protection programs generally have a minor
