Assessing essential oils from Macaronesia: a study on their efficacy against phytopathogenic and obligate biotrophic fungi

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 421-432, January 2026.
Essential oils (EOs) extracted from eight culinary herbs and spices were evaluated via direct‐contact bioassays, both in vitro and in vivo, against three species of phytopathogenic fungi and one obligatory biotrophic fungus. Phenylpropanoid‐rich EOs presented the strongest antifungal activity in both bioassays with the phytopathogenic and the obligate ...

First Report of Powdery Mildew Elicited by Podosphaera fusca (Synonym Podosphaera xanthii) on Euryops pectinatus in Spain [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2008
Euryops pectinatus Cass. is an evergreen shrub that is planted extensively in Spain for landscape use. In 2007, powdery mildew outbreaks were observed on E. pectinatus in several nurseries located in the Axarquia area (Malaga, southern Spain). Fungal growth appeared as typical, white, powdery mildew colonies that were restricted to upper leaf surfaces.

Twenty years of cucurbit breeding research at the World Vegetable Center

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The contribution of cucurbit crops to global food and nutrition security is immense. They are economically and nutritionally important to smallholder farmers in Asia, who account for 81% of global cucurbit production. World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) has been focused for 20 years on four species: bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), ridge ...

Melatonin‐Producing Microorganisms: A Rising Research Interest in Their Melatonin Biosynthesis and Effects on Crops

Journal of Pineal Research, Volume 77, Issue 5, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Melatonin is imperative in animals and plants, contributing to multiple physiological roles, and its microbial production could offer an eco‐friendly alternative to synthetic melatonin. However, detecting and characterizing it in microorganisms remains ongoing, and the biosynthesis pathways are still poorly explored.
