Plant Peptides on the Rise: From Historical Insight to Future Applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant peptides constitute a rapidly expanding class of signalling molecules essential to plant physiology, mediating key processes such as development, stress adaptation, and immune responses. This review traces the history of plant peptide research, from the seminal discovery of systemin to the recent identification of non‐canonical peptides (

First fossil representative of the tribe Amphignomini (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Achilidae) from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber and its significance

European Journal of Entomology, 2023
A new genus Amphignokachinia Brysz & Szwedo, gen. n. and species Amphignokachinia subversa Brysz & Szwedo, sp. n. of Achilidae (Hemiptera) planthoppers of the tribe Amphignomini are described. It is the second genus and first fossil representative of the

Honeydew-associated microbes elicit defense responses against brown planthopper in rice

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2019
The digestive waste product of sucking herbivores, known as honeydew, betrays the presence of brown planthopper to rice plants, due to the bacteria contained in the honeydew secretions.

MdRLKT1–MdRAX2–MdMKS1 Module Positively Regulating Resistance to Cytospora mali in Apple

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Valsa canker (caused by Cytospora mali = Valsa mali. C. mali) is one of the most destructive diseases affecting apple cultivation. The scarcity of natural germplasm resources with high resistance and immunity underscores the importance of exploring plant immune regulation factors of disease‐resistant breeding.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Kinetics of Elastic Recoil in the Wings of the cicada, Dundubia rufivena

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
We quantify elastic recoil in cicada wings using high‐speed videography, revealing faster bending than torsional recoil. Wing stiffness increases when attached to the thorax, demonstrating a body‐wing spring system and highlighting that elastic recoil must be understood through whole‐organism mechanics rather than isolated wing properties.

Determining Terminal Velocities of Selected Insects and Substitute Materials to Develop Future Test Procedures for Insect‐Friendly Mowing Technology

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 310-320, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural grasslands are vital habitats for insects that provide key ecosystem services. However, conventional rotary mowers are proposed to cause significant insect mortality due to the high rotational speed of their blades and the resulting airflow.

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.
