Methionine Synthase Positively Regulates Plant Defence to Both RNA and DNA Viruses and Is Useful for Developing Broad‐Spectrum Antiviral Resistance in Crops

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3821-3839, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant viruses frequently cause severe economic losses in worldwide crop production. Developing broad‐spectrum resistance is the most efficient approach for controlling plant viral diseases. In this work, we found that the 17K protein of barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDVs), which has multiple functions in viral pathogenesis including acting as ...

Pseudozyma brasiliensis sp. nov., a xylanolytic, ustilaginomycetous yeast species isolated from an insect pest of sugarcane roots

open access: yesInternational Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2014
A novel ustilaginomycetous yeast isolated from the intestinal tract of an insect pest of sugarcane roots in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo State, Brazil, represents a novel species of the genus Pseudozyma based on molecular analyses of the D1/D2 rDNA large subunit and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS1+ITS2) regions.

Structure‐Guided Design of an Interface‐Derived Inhibitor Peptide Against Spodoptera frugiperda Digestive Trypsins

open access: yesArchives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 1, May 2026.
In this study, a rational in silico strategy was employed to design a bioinsecticidal peptide targeting the digestive trypsins of Spodoptera frugiperda, utilizing the Dioscorin–trypsin interface as a structural template. By identifying critical interface hot‐spot residues, an 11‐residue oligopeptide designated as PEP‐11 was engineered, demonstrating ...

Soil Property Responses to Push‐Pull Cropping in East Africa

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Push‐pull technology is increasingly promoted in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly for pest management and enhancing crop productivity. However, its influence on soil properties remains understudied, despite its potential implications for soil health and sustainable soil fertility management. This study examines soil properties in push‐pull and

Toxic and repellent action of sugarcane bagasse-based lignin against some stored grain insect pests

open access: yesUniversity Journal of Zoology, Rajshahi University, 1970
Laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the efficacy of sugarcane bagasse-based lignin against four stored grain insect pests viz., Tribolium castaneum, Tribolium confusum, Sitophilus oryzae and Callosobruchus maculatus. Mortality was assessed after 24, 48 and 72 h of treatment and LD50 values were calculated at the respective time ...

Feeding ecology of Australian Christmas beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae): Implications for conservation and habitat management

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Christmas beetles (subfamily Rutelinae, genera Anoplognathus, Calloodes and Repsimus) are an ecologically important and culturally significant group of Australian scarabs, known for their striking appearance and seasonal mass emergences. Over the last decade, anecdotal reports suggest widespread population declines, raising concerns about ...
