Exploring the Antifungal Potential of the Brown Macroalga Hormophysa triquetra: Morphological Disruptions and Structural Changes in Plant Pathogens

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.

Microbial Community Shifts and Plant Performance Improvements Driven by Bacillus firmus in Pampa Agroecosystems

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
The study shows that Bacillus firmus‐based bionematicides modulate soil microbiota and enhance soybean growth in the Pampa biome. Effects vary by location and time, with increased beneficial bacteria, reduced fungi, and decreased root nematode infestation. Overall, B.

Maize Crops Face High Stomatal Uptake During High Exposure to Ozone in an Agroecosystem in the United States Corn Belt

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Tropospheric ozone (O3) is a phytotoxic air pollutant. The stomatal uptake of O3 is a substantial sink of O3, but it can create oxidative stress within plants, reducing photosynthesis and crop yields. In seasonally dry climates, stomatal regulation causes temporal decoupling between stomatal conductance and atmospheric O3 concentrations protecting ...

Managing QoI-resistant Cercospora sojina in Mississippi soybean and assessing the impacts of foliar fungicide phytotoxicity

open access: yes, 2017
Frogeye leaf spot (FLS), caused by Cercospora sojina Hara, is a foliar disease of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). FLS has re-emerged as an important disease due to the widespread QoI-resistant fungal population in Mississippi. Growers have transitioned

The Role of Two Glycoalkaloid Metabolism Genes in α‐Tomatine Biosynthesis and Basal Defence in Tomato

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
We generated knockout mutants of two tomato genes proposed to be involved in α‐tomatine biosynthesis by genome editing. SlGAME2 mutants contained unaltered α‐tomatine contents; this gene is not involved in its synthesis. SlGAME4 mutants did not accumulate any glycoalkaloids but instead redirected resources towards steroidal saponin synthesis.

Phytotoxicity Testing of Atmospheric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

open access: yes
Atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have well-known phytotoxicity on higher plants. However, while numerous bioindication studies have been targeted on how different symptoms indicate the deleterious effects of PAHs in the field ...

Benzoxazinoid‐mediated microbiome feedbacks enhance Arabidopsis growth and defence

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3334-3348, June 2026.
Summary Plants modulate their surrounding microbiome via root exudates and such conditioned soil microbiomes feed back on the performance of the next generation of plants. How plants perceive altered soil microbiomes and modulate their performance in response to such microbiome feedbacks, however, remains largely unknown.

LUCID: An Integrative Approach for Target Discovery and dsRNA Design in Plant Fungal Pathogens

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3597-3615, June 2026.
LUCID: A computational pipeline for RNAi‐based biofungicide design. ABSTRACT Phytopathogenic fungi pose an escalating threat to global food security and ecosystem stability, as resistance and environmental concerns diminish the effectiveness of conventional fungicides.
