Phenotypic scoring of canola blackleg severity using machine learning image analysis
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Canola blackleg is a fungal disease that causes significant yield loss and plant death of infected canola (Brassica napus L., Brassica rapa L., Brassica juncea L.) fields worldwide. One of the most effective methods for controlling blackleg is through the cultivation of resistant varieties.

Drone‐based phenotyping of maize for multiple disease resistance and yield in breeding field trials
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Improving selection for multiple disease resistance (MDR) and yield in maize (Zea mays L.) requires high‐throughput, objective phenotyping tools, particularly under field conditions where several foliar diseases co‐occur. We evaluated drone‐based multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) for predicting resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB ...

The use of edible insects in human food
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5775-5787, 15 August 2026.Abstract The world population is expected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, which will significantly increase global food demand and may lead to agricultural shortages and a higher risk of food insecurity. In this context, this review discusses the potential of insects as alternative sources of animal protein, addressing their ...

New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 2, August 2026.ABSTRACT Using the 2017 myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii) incursion into Aotearoa New Zealand as a case study, we analysed media articles to examine how roles and responsibilities of actors are framed in the biosecurity system. We reveal a multi‐layered, evolving and uncertain biosecurity system.
