Host–Pest Interactions: Investigating Grapholita molesta (Busck) Larval Development and Survival in Apple Cultivars under Laboratory and Field Conditions

Horticulturae
Phenology models are widely used in Decision Support Systems to predict the phenology of pests. Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), a polyphagous pest, has a high prevalence in apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh.) (Rosales: Rosaceae ...

Enviromics and Abiotic Enviromics: Enhancing Stress Biology and Plant Resilience Breeding

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Environmental stressors are captured through high‐throughput envirotyping and integrated into an enviromic framework with genomic, transcriptomic, phenomic, and environmental data. AI/ML models enable prediction and guide marker‐assisted selection, genomic selection, genome editing, and gene pyramiding toward improved abiotic stress tolerance, yield ...

From nursery to building yard: life cycle inventory of three urban tree species in Germany

Frontiers in Sustainable Cities
Trees sequester and store carbon in their biomass and are therefore often part of cities’ plans to become carbon neutral. However, nursing and management of trees result in emissions.

Symbiont‐Induced HSP83 Establishes Two‐Tiered Control of Antifungal Immunity in an Invasive Beetle–Fungus Complex

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In an invasive beetle–fungus complex, the mutualist Leptographium procerum induces host HSP83 and modulates Toll‐dependent antifungal immunity. HSP83 mediates two‐tiered control by associating with selected fungal recognition receptors and restraining Dorsal‐driven antimicrobial peptide transcription.

Profiling of extracellular vesicle-associated microRNAs reveals a regulated response to potato virus Y infection in tomato

Frontiers in Genetics
Plant extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as critical mediators of intercellular communication during plant-pathogen interactions, particularly through their cargo of regulatory small RNAs, enabling the transport of miRNAs to distant tissues during biotic

MAPA: A Semantic Network Framework for Functional Module Discovery and Interpretation in Multi‐Omics Data

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MAPA transforms complex multi‐omics data into biologically coherent functional modules by integrating pathway information with molecular interaction networks. Retrieval‐augmented large language models then generate structured, literature‐informed interpretations.

Invasive Insect Pests of Forests and Urban Trees in Russia: Origin, Pathways, Damage, and Management

Forests, 2022
Invasive alien insects cause serious ecological and economical losses around the world. Here, we review the bionomics, modern ranges (and their dynamics), distribution pathways, monitoring, and control measures of 14 insect species known to be important invasive and emerging tree pests in forest and urban ecosystems of Russia: Leptoglossus occidentalis

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.
