Methyl Jasmonate Seed Priming Mitigates the Defence‐Growth Trade‐Off and Tailors Plant Response to Specific Pests

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Trichomes in Plant Defence, Development and Metabolic Integration Under Environmental Stress

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among various plant defence strategies, trichomes are tiny hair‐like structures on the epidermis that aid in defence, environmental adaptation and the production of valuable secondary metabolites. This review features trichomes as frontline guards for plant survival, integrating their structural, physiological and metabolic roles in ...

Elucidating the Molecular Mechanisms of Vitex negundo L. in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome via Metabolomics‐Driven Network Pharmacology

Biomedical Chromatography, Volume 40, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder marked by irregular menstrual cycles, elevated androgen levels, ovarian cysts, hirsutism, acne and other symptoms. While conventional medications such as Metformin and Spironolactone are commonly prescribed, they are often associated with undesirable side effects.

Beyond the Classics: The Synergy of AI and Genomics Reveals an Expanded Repertoire of Pigmentation Genes

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 346, Issue 6, Page 475-486, September 2026.
Classical approaches for coloration analysis are limited by human low‐resolution phenotyping and genetic analysis. Artificial intelligence allows us to find genes beyond the tip of the iceberg that explain color and pattern diversity in nature. ABSTRACT Pigmentation has long served as a powerful system for exploring gene–trait relationships, yet much ...

Alcoholic extracts of Russian sage (Salvia yangii) contain bioactive terpenoids with inhibitory activity against grapevine downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8159-8170, September 2026.
Alcoholic extracts from flowers, leaves, and shoots of Russian sage decreased downy mildew severity on grapevine leaf disks. Fractionation followed by metabolomic analysis revealed putative terpenoids as the main components of the active fractions. Specifically, 7‐methylrosmanol, 12‐O‐methylcarnosic acid, carnosic acid, and carnosol were identified as ...

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Advances in large DNA fragment assembly for microbial cell factory engineering

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The efficient, rapid, and reliable assembly of DNA fragments is essential for advancing metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. With the rapid advancement of DNA synthesis and assembly technologies, the scale of DNA assembly has expanded from single genes to metabolic pathways and even genomes.
