Phenotypic Validation and SSR Marker Association in Sesame Germplasm Contrasting for Dry Root Rot (Macrophomina phaseolina) Tolerance

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an ancient oilseed crop of family Pedaliaceae, known for its quality oil, supplemented with dietary advantages due to the presence of bioactive compounds like sesamin and sesamolin. Phyllody and dry root rot (DRR) are the two major biotic stress factors that cause significant yield reduction and economic loss in ...

Oviposition and larval establishment of three ‘generalist’ noctuids on Capsicum annuum

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding the oviposition and foraging behaviour of pestiferous lepidopterans on their economically important food plants guides the development of effective pest management tactics. Here, we examined the oviposition behaviour and larval establishment of three noctuid species on a single crop—capsicum (Capsicum annuum).

Climate Change Impacts on Maize Production and Food Security: Integrating Climate‐Smart Agriculture and Modeling Approaches for Sustainable Adaptation

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Climate change is one of the major challenges to global agriculture and crop production. In many regions of the world, food security largely depends on major cereal crops. Among these cereal crops, maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most sensitive staple crops to drought and heat stress induced by climate change, especially when these occur during the ...
