In vitro effects of three woody plant and sainfoin extracts on two parasitic stage of 3 parasitic nematode species [PDF]

, 2004
Most studies on the effects of tanniferous plants on nematodes have examined forages but have neglected the woody plants. Therefore, in vitro effects of extracts from 3 woody plants (Rubus fructicosus, Quercus robur, Corylus avellana) have been tested on

Three Closely Related Spodoptera Species Similarly Affect Gene Expression and Phytohormone Levels but Differentially Induce Volatile Emissions in Maize

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants can perceive specific elicitors in the oral secretions (OS) of herbivorous insects and respond by increasing their defences. Whether plants can discriminate among similar herbivorous insect species and differentially modulate their defence responses against them is largely unknown.

Glyphosate residues in soil alter herbivore‐induced plant volatiles and affect predatory insect behaviour

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.

Biotransformation of monoterpenols upon pre‐treatment with oregano essential oil vapour alleviates downy mildew susceptibility in grapevine leaves

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Pre‐treatment of grapevine plants with oregano essential oil vapour alleviates downy mildew susceptibility by accumulation of monoterpenol glycosides. Abstract Grapevine downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is a destructive disease that causes major economic losses as most elite grapevine cultivars are susceptible to this pathogen.

Integrative chromosome‐scale genome analysis of cupuassu provides insights into witches' broom disease resistance and expands genomic resources for Theobroma

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) is a fruit tree native to the Brazilian Amazon and increasingly relevant to regional bioeconomies. Its cultivation is severely affected by witches’ broom disease (WBD), caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa. While a chromosome‐scale genome of the susceptible genotype C1074 is available, the lack of a resistant ...

Uncovering the Key Factors Influencing Phytochemical and Phytopharmacological Properties During Medicinal Plant Processing

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
From farm to pharma, this review details the engineering of quality in medicinal plants through a science‐driven approach: it first elucidates how genetic and environmental factors inscribe the plant's phytochemical and phytopharmacological profile before harvest, and then dissects the postharvest techniques and technologies—chemical and thermal pre ...

A natural barrier: tick‐repellent potential of a spruce‐derived volatile blend against Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1481-1491, February 2026.
Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.

From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...

Aphid parasitism alters induced plant responses allowing a hyperparasitoid to locate its hidden parasitoid host

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 2055-2070, February 2026.
Summary Plants typically host insect communities composed of multiple trophic levels that are intricately linked through interactions mediated by the shared food plant. Hyperparasitoids are top‐level carnivores in such systems, preying on parasitoid larvae developing inside herbivores. These hyperparasitoids can dramatically reduce the effectiveness of

EM2, a Natural Product MST1/2 Kinase Activator, Suppresses Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer via Hippo Pathway Activation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, 5 January 2026.
EM2 directly binds to and activates MST1/2, enhancing their kinase activity and sequentially promoting LATS phosphorylation, which increases YAP phosphorylation. Consequently, YAP nuclear translocation is suppressed, leading to reduced transcription of downstream targets CTGF and CYR61, ultimately exerting a robust inhibitory effect on NSCLC cell ...
