PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 530-555, March 2026.Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Resistance of processing tomato genotypes to leafminer (Tuta absoluta) [PDF]
Horticultura Brasileira, 2019 ABSTRACT Tomato crop presents several obstacles that hinder its cultivation, especially the tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae). To reduce damages caused by this pest, the development of resistant cultivars is one of the main alternatives. In this study we aimed to select tomato genotypes with high acylsugar contents and resistant

Securing the Wind? Governing Atmospheric Life Above Aotearoa New Zealand
New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Birds, dust and smoke are all periodic windborne visitors to Aotearoa New Zealand. These visitors are, however, only the most visible tip of a churning atmosphere teeming with life. Drawing on work examining the assemblage of volumetric territoriality, this paper explores the framing of the atmosphere in biosecurity world‐making.

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 1, Page 56-66, February 2026.ABSTRACT Global warming is a cause for concern and is predicted to diversely affect agricultural systems. One aspect of the predicted effects is the susceptibility of pests to chemical pesticides. It is therefore crucial to study the reaction of pests to different pesticide compounds under different temperatures in order to better predict how those ...

Nitrogen nutrition of tomato plant alters leafminer dietary intake dynamics [PDF]
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2017 The leafminer Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is a major pest of the tomato crop and its development rate is known to decline when nitrogen availability for crop growth is limited. Because N limitation reduces plant primary metabolism but enhances secondary metabolism, one can infer that the slow larval development arises from lower leaf nutritive value and/or
