Extensive photophysiological variation in wild barley is linked to environmental origin

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 569-587, January 2026.
Summary Intraspecific variation between crop wild relatives (CWRs) represents a source of untapped genetic diversity for crop improvement. At the same time, improving photosynthesis in crops has the potential to enhance yield. Thus, exploring variation for photophysiology within CWRs is an important, yet underexplored, research area.

Measuring field efficacy of Steinernema feltiae and Steinernema riobrave for suppression of plum curculio, Conotrachelus nenuphar, larvae

Biological Control, 2004
Abstract The plum curculio, Conotrachelus nenuphar, is a major pest of pome and stone fruit. Our objective was to determine the ability of Steinernema feltiae and Steinernema riobrave to control C. nenuphar larvae in soil. Nematodes were applied at 100 infective juveniles/cm2 in peach orchards at two locations (Byron, GA and Quincy, FL) in 2002 and ...

Tri‐trophic interactions of soil mite Sancassania polyphyllae (Acari: Acaridae) with fungal biocontrol agents

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Mycophagous invertebrates can significantly impact the efficacy of fungal biocontrol agents; yet the interaction between these agents and Sancassania polyphyllae (Acari: Acaridae), commonly found in soil ecosystems, remains poorly understood. Our study demonstrates that Sa.

Entomopathogenic nematodes targeting the control of the corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), under laboratory conditions

Helminthologia
The corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), was considered a secondary pest in Brazilian corn crops. However, from 2015 onwards, there was a significant increase in its population and a high incidence of both pale ...

Entomopathogenic Nematodes Induce Metabolic Reallocation in Maize Roots Without Altering the Performance of Two Root Herbivores, Diabrotica virgifera and Diabrotica balteata

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 12, Page 8561-8572, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are key biological control agents in agriculture, but their direct effects on plant metabolism and resistance to herbivory remain underexplored. By combining transcriptomic, metabolomic, and herbivore assays, this study aimed at providing a holistic description of maize root responses to EPNs and to assess ...

Interspecific competition between entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernema) is modified by their bacterial symbionts (Xenorhabdus)

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006
Background Symbioses between invertebrates and prokaryotes are biological systems of particular interest in order to study the evolution of mutualism.

The crop wild relative Fragaria vesca as source of resistance against strawberry anthracnose

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 7, Page 1353-1365, December 2025.
The crop wild relative Fragaria vesca is a valuable resource to mine for novel resistance factors against Colletotrichum. Abstract The genetic diversity of Fragaria species in situ has great potential for breeding resistance in cultivated strawberries against anthracnose disease.

Semiochemical applications for managing the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum Müller), a major pest of arable crops

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7288-7301, November 2025.
Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...
