Preventing Invasive Non‐Native Species: A Horizon Scanning for the Canary Islands

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Oceanic islands host exceptional biodiversity and endemism but are highly vulnerable to biological invasions. We aimed to identify non‐native species with high potential to invade the Canary Islands within the next decade and to prioritise them based on their environmental and socioeconomic risks.

PmWRKY‐10 Enhances Pine Wilt Disease Resistance by Promoting Pinosylvin Monomethyl Ether Biosynthesis Through Transcriptional Activation of PmPMT2‐1

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
We identified a PmWRKY‐10→PmPMT2‐1→PME defence pathway in Pinus massoniana against pine wilt disease. PmWRKY‐10 activates PmPMT2‐1 to promote the accumulation of the nematicidal metabolite PME. This discovery reveals the mechanism of stilbene‐mediated resistance and provides key genetic targets for forest management.

Two decades of epidemiological surveillance of the pine wood nematode in France reveal its absence despite suitable conditions for its establishment

Annals of Forest Science, 2023
Key message This study takes stock of the first 20 years (2000–2019) of monitoring the pine wood nematode (PWN) in metropolitan France. While PWN was never found in the wild during this period, it was reported in some wood-based commodities entering or ...

Mechanistic role of biochar as a geobiochemical amendment: Mitigating abiotic stress and enhancing soil–plant interactions

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Abiotic stressors, including drought, salinity, and heavy metal contamination, pose escalating threats to global food security, challenges further exacerbated by climate change and progressive soil degradation. As a strategic geochemical amendment, biochar is increasingly proposed to enhance soil resilience and agricultural sustainability ...

Chromosome-level genome assembly of the Japanese sawyer beetle Monochamus alternatus

Scientific Data
The Japanese sawyer beetle Monochamus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is a pest in pine forests and acts as a vector for the pine wood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, which causes the pine wilt disease. We assembled a high-quality genome of M.

Research Progress on the Early Monitoring of Pine Wilt Disease Using Hyperspectral Techniques

Sensors, 2020
Pine wilt disease (PWD) caused by pine wood nematode (PWN, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) originated in North America and has since spread to Asia and Europe. PWN is currently a quarantine object in 52 countries.

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...

Distribution of pine wood nematodes and their vectors

Abstract In this study, we investigated the distribution and density of the pine wood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilusin recently dead pine trees in coastal and inland regions ofSouth Korea, as well as the mortality rate of pine trees affected by pine wilt disease (PWD).

MgCBP1 Synergistically Enhances MgENG2‐Mediated Cellulose Degradation to Promote Parasitism in Meloidogyne graminicola

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
A cellulose‐binding protein (MgCBP1) and a β‐1,4‐endoglucanase (MgENG2) from Meloidogyne graminicola act synergistically. MgCBP1 binds cellulose, disrupts fibre structure and enhances MgENG2‐mediated cellulose degradation via its cellulose‐binding module. This cooperative action promotes nematode infection, providing the first evidence of CBP–cellulase

Establishment Limitations of Sensitive Target Species Potentilla alba L. in Grasslands Restored on Arable Land

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10053-10062, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Species in grasslands restored from former arable land have multiple obstacles when establishing. Understanding whether these limitations stem from soil chemical or microbial differences could help to create suitable environments for specific target and other species with similar requirements.
