Differentiation of the Foliar Microbiomes From Co‐Occurring Grass Species Reflects Their Recency of Invasion

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study examined the foliar fungal and bacterial microbiomes of two co‐occurring invasive grasses, recently introduced Oplismenus undulatifolius and long‐established Microstegium vimineum. Oplismenus communities exhibited lower diversity within samples and greater turnover between samples.

Occurrence of Phytophthora cinnamomi in the Rhizosphere of Declining Leucadendron elimense subsp. salteri in South Africa

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Phytophthora cinnamomi is a destructive invasive plant pathogen reported from more than 5000 hosts and across all continents except Antarctica. In South Africa, P. cinnamomi poses a substantial threat to native flora, particularly members of the Proteaceae.

Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation Promotes Soil Microbial Stability and Antagonistic Bacteria Abundance in Greenhouse Vegetable Production Systems

Agronomy, 2023
Excessive water and fertiliser inputs, as well as long-term monocropping, not only cause resource waste and environmental pollution but also drive soil degradation and the occurrence of soil-borne diseases. Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is a widely

Contribution of Fallen Leaves to Primary Inoculum and the Progress of Glomerella Leaf Spot in Apple Orchards

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Glomerella leaf spot (GLS), caused by Colletotrichum spp., persists between seasons mainly in fallen leaves on the orchard floor and in dormant plant tissues, which act as primary inoculum sources for disease initiation in spring. Because early epidemic development is strongly dependent on the availability of primary inoculum, practices such ...

Morphological and Multilocus Phylogenetic Characterisation of Fusarium Species Causing Fruit Rot in Pumpkins

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Eight Fusarium species are associated with the pumpkin rot in north‐east Brazil. ABSTRACT Pumpkin (Cucurbita) is a cucurbit of great economic and social importance in Brazil. However, fruit rot caused by Fusarium species represents a significant limitation to crop production, compromising quality and hindering commercialisation.

Quantifying the Contribution of Sediment Load to Soil Detachment Rate by Sediment-Laden Rill Flow

, 2017
Sediment load changes with downslope distance during rill erosion process, and thus quantifying the potential contribution of sediment load on soil detachment rate is essential to accurately model the rill erosion process.
