Prevalence of bean scab caused by Elsinoë phaseoli and challenges associated with bean cultivation in Kenya

Plant-Environment Interactions
This study investigated the prevalence of scab caused by Elsinoë phaseoli causing yield losses on beans in Kenya. The research focused on common practices and challenges faced by subsistence farmers with the aim of providing insights into scab prevalence,

Tree spatial structure, host composition and resource availability influence mirid density or black pod prevalence in cacao agroforests in Cameroon.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Combining crop plants with other plant species in agro-ecosystems is one way to enhance ecological pest and disease regulation mechanisms. Resource availability and microclimatic variation mechanisms affect processes related to pest and pathogen life ...

From Chatbots to Co‐Scientists: The Impact of Knowledge‐Generating AI (AI 4.0) on Healthcare and Research

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This perspective contrasts the historical, linear progression of early AI with the dynamic, iterative nature of AI 4.0; and it describes the real‐world medical applications and the necessary evolution of laboratory infrastructure brought about by AI 4.0.

Gendered perception of change in prevalence of pests and management in Zimbabwe smallholder irrigation schemes

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2022
AbstractA better understanding of gendered perception on the prevalence and management of pests in irrigated agriculture in the context of a changing climate can help recommend more gender-sensitive policies, particularly in smallholder farming systems. Limited studies have been conducted to assess gender differences in perception of the prevalence and

An Artificially Selected Cytokinin‐Pathway Transcription Factor Balances Soybean Yield and Pathogen Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cytokinin pathway transcription factor, RR2b, was artificially selected during soybean domestication and improvement based on its differential transcriptional activity, which correlates with ATT repeat polymorphisms in its promoter. RR2b balances yield and defense by fine‐tuning its expression level and offers a promising target for decoupling trade ...

SOX5 Orchestrates Malignant Evolution via Promoter‐Centric Chromatin Remodeling in MYC‐Driven B‐Cell Lymphoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In MYC‐enforced B‐cell lymphoma, SOX5 occupies promoter‐proximal regulatory regions and is associated with reduced chromatin accessibility at the PCNP locus. PCNP repression promotes proliferative remodeling by limiting apoptosis and cell‐cycle restraint.

Evolutionary history of host trees amplifies the dilution effect of biodiversity on forest pests.

PLoS Biology
Biodiversity appears to strongly suppress pathogens and pests in many plant and animal systems. However, this "dilution effect" is not consistently detected, and when present can vary strikingly in magnitude.
