The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Natural Products in Cancer Prevention and Therapy: Current Challenges and Future Directions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Natural products play a pivotal role in cancer therapy. They induce cancer cell death by reprogramming four metabolic pathways while precisely targeting the tumor microenvironment and immune cells. These compounds not only leverage novel delivery systems for innovative applications but also demonstrate unique therapeutic efficacy across clinical stages:

Breeding for microbiome-mediated disease resistance [PDF]

, 2017
Plant-associated microbial communities play a crucial role for the expression of various plant traits including disease resistance. Increasing evidence suggests that host genotype influences the composition and function of certain microbial key groups ...

Discovery of murayaquinone from an endophytic bacterium Streptomyces sp. AN140557 as a potent inhibitor of the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1765-1775, February 2026.
Murayaquinone isolated from the pine endophyte Streptomyces sp. AN140557 exhibits potent, dose‐dependent nematicidal activity and egg‐hatching inhibition against the pine wood nematode. It effectively inhibited pine wilt disease in greenhouse tests, suggesting potential as a promising biocontrol agent.

Systemic Activation of the Antioxidant System by Root Priming With Non‐Pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum in Flax Infected With Pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Fusarium oxysporum Fo47 primes flax by locally suppressing pathogens in roots and systemically activating antioxidant defences in shoots, offering a sustainable plant protection strategy. ABSTRACT Plants rely on specialised adaptive mechanisms to enhance resistance against environmental stress.

Selection of antagonistic actinomycete isolates as biocontrol agents against root-rot fungi [PDF]

, 2010
In this study, actinomycetes isolates, isolated from rhizosphere of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), were screened for antagonistic activities on certain root rot fungi (Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium verticilloides and Bipolaris ...

Ethylene supports colonization of plant roots by the mutualistic fungus Piriformospora indica [PDF]

, 2012
The mutualistic basidiomycete Piriformospora indica colonizes roots of mono- and dicotyledonous plants, and thereby improves plant health and yield. Given the capability of P.

The Factors Involved in Plant–Insect–Microbe Interactions Expanded: Genome Analysis and Description of Frigoribacterium adelgis sp. nov.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Aerobic Actinobacteria belonging to the genus Frigoribacterium were isolated from adelgid Adelges (Aphrastasia) pectinatae collected from a Korean fir tree. Genomic analysis showed that these bacteria encode a range of factors that may be involved in the interactions between Frigoribacterium strains, adelgids and/or Korean fir trees.

Mycorrhizal status of an ozone-sensitive poplar clone treated with the antiozonant ethylene diurea [PDF]

, 2013
The antiozonant ethylene diurea is proven to prevent growth reductions in forest trees induced by ozone. The community of mycorrhizal fungi could be useful indicator of environmental stress.

From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...
