Use of copper hydroxide in the cultivation of lisianthus seedlings (Eustoma grandiforum L.) under floating system

Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, 2017
Previous experiences demonstrated the efficiency of the floating system for growing lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum L.) seedlings. Using this system, root growth usually expands through the plug cell drainage hole into the solution originating some ...

From Defense Executor to Engineering Target: Harnessing Lignin for Crop Resistance

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.
Lignin serves as both a physical and chemical executor of broad‐spectrum plant immunity. This review systematically summarizes classical and recent advances in lignin‐mediated immunity, outlines the multifaceted regulatory modules controlling lignification under biotic stress, discusses key physiological and biochemical mechanisms behind lignin‐based ...

The Association of Hypertension Based on Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure (SBP and DBP) With Dental Visits in the Population Aged 45 and Older: Cross‐Section Study Results From the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS)

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 7, July 2026.
There is a significant positive correlation between hypertension and dental visits among adults aged 45 and above in China. This suggests that attention should be paid to the coordinated management of cardiovascular health and oral health to prevent the mutual aggravation of chronic diseases. ABSTRACT Objective Systemic diseases increasingly complicate

Evidence That Sri Lanka Is the Origin of a Rare Nematode Resistance Gene in Rice

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Meloidogyne graminicola is a destructive and widespread pest in tropical rice‐growing systems, whereas resistance in Oryza sativa remains exceptionally rare. A major quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with resistance has previously been identified at the distal end of chromosome 11 in the resistant varieties, LD 24 (Sri Lanka) and KPM ...

Rhizobacteria regulate colonising Sitobion avenae aphid populations through induced host resistance and alter plant volatiles promoting early parasitoid recruitment on barley (Hordeum vulgare)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7050-7061, July 2026.
Rhizobacterial inoculation of barley reduced Sitobion avenae populations by inducing plant resistance and modifying volatiles that attracted parasitoid wasps earlier, enhancing both bottom‐up and top‐down pest control. Abstract BACKGROUND Soil rhizobacteria can enhance crop resistance to insect herbivores and influence higher trophic interactions ...

The litter C/N ratio governs the dual role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in decomposition and plant nutrition absorption

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2190-2202, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) modulate litter decomposition and facilitate nutrient acquisition through the soil–mycorrhiza–plant pathway. Although litter chemistry has been considered an important factor affecting litter decomposition, how it regulates EcMF‐induced ...

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.

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.
