Early Contributions Leading to Understanding the Significance of Epichloë Endophyte in Temperate Grasses

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 5, October 2026.
The role and use of Epichloë fungal endophytes in grazed temperate grass pastures and turf grasses are now well understood with regard to balancing pasture persistence while minimising animal health and welfare concerns. However, this understanding has only emerged since the early 1980s. Prior to this, although links between Epichloë endophytes, animal

Multifactorial Role of Phytogenic CeO2 NPs in Crop Improvement and Stress Alleviation: A Mechanistic Overview

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates how CeO2 nanoparticles help plants withstand biotic and abiotic stresses. Their application reduces excessive ROS through enhanced antioxidant defenses, whereas modulating stress signaling, phytohormones, and gene expression.

Challenges and management of parasitic weeds in Ethiopia

CABI Agriculture and Bioscience
Abstract Background Unlike regular weeds, parasitic weeds parasitize their host crop for sustenance, and critically reduce growth and productivity of the host plants. Main body The parasitic weeds or heterotrophic ...

Identification of broadly expressed nervous system‐related genes as effective RNAi targets in the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 9870-9878, October 2026.
Broadly expressed genes outperformed brain‐enriched neural targets as RNAi candidates in Halyomorpha halys. Microinjection of dsRNA targeting alpha‐soluble NSF attachment protein (Asnap) or Ras opposite protein (Rop) caused strong feeding suppression and near‐complete mortality, identifying them as promising targets for future oral or spray‐based RNAi ...

Exploring the significance of Kenya's indigenous and emerging blue foods for sustainable aquaculture development. A review

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Kenya's aquaculture sector is at a pivotal stage, transitioning from a historical reliance on Nile tilapia and African catfish toward a more diversified production portfolio that integrates indigenous and emerging freshwater and marine species. This shift is increasingly recognized as essential to enhance climate resilience, food security, and

Closed‐Loop Radiative Cooling Mulch Upcycled From Agricultural Residues for Efficient Soil Heat–Water Stress Mitigation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 49, 3 September 2026.
Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.

Plant stress biology and climate‐resilient crop improvement: Integrating physiology, genomics, and breeding

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Global agricultural systems are increasingly threatened by abiotic and biotic stresses, including drought, heat, salinity, flooding, pathogens, insect pests, and weeds, all of which substantially reduce crop productivity and yield stability.
