Effectiveness of model‐based decision tools for disease control in wheat, potato and grapevine: a multilevel meta‐analysis

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Meta‐analysis results indicate that decision tools can provide effective disease control, although their performance may vary among crops. Despite differences, decision tools reduced the Treatment Frequency Index across three crops. Abstract BACKGROUND A multilevel meta‐analysis was conducted to provide further evidence on the benefits of decision ...

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum: a dual‐purpose biological control agent for weed and disease management in pastures and cereal crops

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A hypervirulent, endophytic, non‐sclerotial strain of the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum has enormous potential as a dual‐purpose bioherbicide/plant vaccine that is biosafe for use in pastures and cereal crops. Abstract The cosmopolitan phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary infects many dicotyledonous species, including major ...

Evaluation of electrolyzed water to control fungal trunk pathogens in grapevine nurseries

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1740-1751, April 2025.
Electrolyzed water treatments could have promising applications in the grapevine nursery process to prevent or reduce infections caused by fungal trunk pathogens on grapevine propagation material. Abstract BACKGROUND Grapevine producers demand solutions to control fungal trunk pathogens (FTPs) in nurseries.

Exploiting Phase Partitioning of a Giant Trimeric Fibrous Protein Scaffold to Potentiate Chitinase‐Driven Antifungal Activity

Small, EarlyView.
Cstalk, a giant fibrous protein, selectively partitions into the dextran‐rich phase in polyethylene glycol/dextran aqueous two‐phase systems, functioning as a recruiter for proteins of interest. This phase‐selective recruitment can be extended to fungal cell walls, enabling the targeted localization of enzymes and enhancing antifungal activity through ...

Establishment of a Human Cell‐Based In Vitro Test System for Investigating and Evaluating Cytotoxic and Immunomodulatory Effects of Indoor Mold

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mold growth in damp indoor environments is a widespread problem associated with respiratory health effects, though causal mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We established a human cell‐based in vitro test system using bronchial epithelial cells (NuLi‐1) and macrophages (THP‐1) to assess inhalation toxicity and immunomodulatory effects ...

Large‐Scale Applications of Plasma Technologies: Progresses and Challenges

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasma technologies convert electrical power into energetic electrons, ions, reactive species, radiation and heat, thereby breaking through the bottleneck of purely thermal or chemical routes and bringing impressive changes to our world. This roadmap reviews the progress and challenges of plasma technologies from a large‐scale and application ...

Heatwave‐Resilient Cuticular Microbiota Protect the Leaf Beetle Plagiodera versicolora From Fungal Infection

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves—extreme thermal events characterized by prolonged supra‐optimal temperatures—exert profound impacts on global ecosystem stability and species interactions. While the disruptive effects of thermal stress on host physiology and gut microbiota are well documented, the role of cuticular ...

Behavioural responses of peach potato aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera: Aphididae), to entomopathogenic fungi infected conspecifics

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Myzus persicae showed no detectable behavioural response to Beauveria bassiana‐colonised agar alone. Aphids spent significantly more time in odour fields containing EPF‐infected conspecifics than healthy aphids, agar or blank air. EPF infection may alter host‐associated odours, suggesting pathogen‐mediated cues could influence aphid behaviour and ...

Effects of Live and Heat‐Treated Bifidobacterium longum CECT 7347 in Adults With Allergic Rhinitis: A Randomised, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled Trial

Allergy, EarlyView.
This randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial evaluated the effects of live probiotic and HT postbiotic B. longum CECT 7347 in adults with moderate–severe allergic rhinitis. Postbiotic supplementation for 8 weeks significantly reduced CSMS and dSS, exceeding the established CSMS MCID with a 33% greater improvement, when compared to placebo ...

Natural History of Alternaria Sensitisation and Association With Asthma and Rhinitis From Childhood to Adulthood

Allergy, EarlyView.
We aimed to characterise Alternaria sensitisation trajectories from childhood to adulthood; we compared SPT, whole‐extract sIgE and rAlt a 1, and assessed their longitudinal association with asthma and rhinitis in the Isle of Wight birth cohort. Alternaria sensitisation in the Isle of Wight Birth Cohort emerges mainly in late adolescence and, when ...
