Seed‐Associated Trichoderma and Their Potential as Biocontrol Agents Against Plant Diseases

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Trichoderma is a genus of beneficial fungi widely used in agriculture. Over 2 years of routine seed health analyses, we investigated the diversity of seed‐borne Trichoderma strains associated with seeds from 32 cultivated plant species. We assessed their mycoparasitic activity and their potential for disease suppression and plant growth promotion ...

Economic and Biological Evaluation of Pheromone Trap Types for Western Bean Cutworm, Striacosta albicosta, Monitoring in Dry Edible Bean Fields

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 750-763, July 2026.
Pheromone trap use for monitoring Striacosta albicosta in dry edible beans was evaluated across multiple trap designs, lure replacement intervals, and insecticide timings. Bucket traps captured the most moths, yet trap counts poorly predicted crop damage.

Study on the Cell Type and Plug Design for Improving Pan Root and Growth of Cabbage and Chinses Cabbage Seedling [PDF]

, 2014
中文摘要 甘藍幼苗於圓型112格穴盤時其莖徑較粗、葉面積較大，使得其地上部鮮、乾重較重，且壯苗指數之評估亦較佳。結球白菜於圓型112格穴盤生長時，其株高較矮、葉身較短，葉片的長寬比於穴盤間無差異，使得結球白菜地上部重量較輕，壯苗指數較佳。於第五週時，以圓型112格穴盤處理者對其葉片展開角度較大。十字漏空及側壁漏空有改善盤根情形，根長最短，且根活力最高。 六週甘藍苗經2週留置後，以圓型112格穴盤其莖徑、葉面積、地上部鮮、乾重及地下部乾重均顯著較其他處理高 ...

Outpaced by Drought: Weak Local Adaptation and Limited Potential for Drought Adaptation in a Deciduous Conifer

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT As drought impacts on forests intensify, evaluating the potential for adaptation is critical for predicting forest responses and the impacts of management strategies. We assessed phenotypic and genomic variation in western larch (Larix occidentalis Nutt.) populations to evaluate the potential for drought adaptation across its range.

Fusarium sacchari 14‐3‐3 Protein FsBmh1 Sequesters a Novel Elicitor FsEcm33 to Evade Host Immunity

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
When the elicitor FsEcm33 is sprayed onto Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, it enters the apoplast, triggering PAMP‐triggered immunity (PTI) that depends on NbRE02, NbBAK1, and NbSOBIR1. However, upon Fusarium sacchari infection, FsBmh1 binds FsEcm33 to prevent its localization on the cell surface, escaping PTI to allow colonization.
