Genome‐wide association studies and genomics‐informed breeding for tuber dormancy in tetraploid potatoes

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Upon harvest, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers enter a dormant state and do not sprout even under favorable conditions. Early dormancy break causes tuber spoilage and reduces postharvest quality. Common sprout control methods may compromise tuber quality, raise health and environmental concerns, and increase costs.

Effects of Potato-Psyllid-Vectored ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ Infection on Potato Leaf and Stem Physiology [PDF]

Phytopathology®, 2015
The bacterium ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ is associated with zebra chip disease (ZC), a threat to potato production in North America and New Zealand. It is vectored by potato psyllids. Previous studies observed that ‘Ca. L. solanacearum’ infection causes potato tubers to undergo ZC-symptom-associated shifts in physiology, such as increased ...

Climate Change Can Generate Enemy‐Free Space for Crop‐Feeding Herbivores

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
Magnitude and direction of change in parasitoid pressure for 14 agricultural pests subject to climate‐driven distributional shifts. Pests are organized per increasing parasitoid pressure under current climatic conditions (X axis). Bubble size is reflective of the (absolute) area affected by a given pest under a given scenario.

Host plants and Wolbachia shape the population genetics of sympatric herbivore populations

Evolutionary Applications, 2020
Changing climate and land‐use practices have the potential to bring previously isolated populations of pest insects into new sympatry. This heightens the need to better understand how differing patterns of host–plant association, and unique endosymbionts,

High‐efficiency genome‐editing, transgene evaluation, and antimicrobial efficacy testing using Citrus medica L. hairy roots

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 4, February 2026.
Significance Statement Huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus greening disease threatens global citrus production, yet progress toward effective resistance strategies has been limited by the causal pathogen's unculturable nature and the difficulty of transforming citrus plants.

Impact of potato psyllid density and timing of infestation on Zebra chip disease expression in potato plants

Plant Protection Science, 2016
The impact of vector density and timing of infestation on potato were investigated. Healthy potato plants at different growth stages (4, 5, and 7 weeks after germination) were exposed separately to four different B. cockerelli densities (0, 5, 20, and 40

The Perceptions and Knowledge of Farmers on Sustainable Pest Management in Three Agricultural Production Systems in Tungurahua Province, Ecuador

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The overreliance on chemical pesticides in Ecuadorian agriculture raises serious concerns regarding environmental sustainability and public health. This study aimed to assess farmers’ perceptions and knowledge of sustainable pest management strategies across three agricultural systems in Tungurahua province: indigenous family farming (Salasaka), fruit ...

Climate Change and Its Effects on Pest–Pathogen Complexes

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Climate change is intensifying the complexity and severity of pest–pathogen interactions in agriculture, threatening global food security. Rising temperatures, elevated CO2 levels, shifting precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events are reshaping vector ecology, accelerating insect development, altering pathogen virulence, and disrupting plant ...
