New insights into the supression of plant pathogenic fungus (Phytophthora cinnamomi) by compost leachates [PDF]

, 2003
Use of compost as a soil conditioner and low-grade fertiliser is gaining popularity worldwide (Epstein, 1997). Compost not only adds plant nutrients to the soil, but also improves physical properties of soil such as buffering capacity, cation exchange ...

Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...

High‐Resolution Community Profiling of Active Bacteria and Eukaryotes in Replant‐Diseased Blueberry Farm Soils From New Jersey, USA

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.
Long read bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomal operon sequencing combined with stable isotope probing (SIP) allowed the differentiation of microbiomes in low‐ and high‐yield blueberry farm soils. This report may ultimately be used to improve productivity and potentially detect the responsible pathogenic agent(s) or other deleterious microbes.

Phytophthora cinnamomi and other fine root pathogens in north temperate pine forests [PDF]

, 2017
A number of fine root pathogens, including Phytophthora cinnamomi, Pythium ultimum var. ultimum, Pythium undulatum, Pythium violae, Fusarium sp., and two incompletely identified Verticillium species, were isolated from soils taken from under Scots pine ...

An Artificial Inoculation Protocol for Greenhouse Resistance Screening of Loblolly Pine Seedlings Against Brown Spot Needle Blight

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Brown spot needle blight (BSNB), caused by the fungal pathogen Lecanosticta acicola, has been rapidly increasing in incidence and severity on loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), the most dominant and commercially important pine species in the southeastern United States.

Expression of defence-related genes against Phytophthora cinnamomi in five avocado rootstocks

South African Journal of Science, 2013
Avocado (Persea americana) – a major fruit crop worldwide – is threatened by root rot caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi. This pathogen is known to infect the plant via the feeder roots leading to branch dieback, and eventually tree mortality.

Breaking New Ground: Niche Divergence and Expansion in Ground Parrots (Pezoporini: Platycercinae)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The two species of ground parrots (Pezoporus wallicus and P. flaviventris) are morphologically and behaviourally similar, yet geographically disjunct and genetically distinct. We investigated the dynamics of divergence between the two species in the context of niche evolution across Australian platycercine parrots.

Historical land use couples with host density to affect myrtle rust impacts in a wet sclerophyll forest community in Eastern Australia

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
Plant pathogens worldwide continue to spread outside of their native ranges into new habitats. Our results highlight the importance of investigating variable processes like land use legacy that can correlate with impacts of non‐native plant pathogens.
