Recent Advances in Biology, Epidemiology and Host Resistance to Potato Powdery Scab

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
This review highlights recent advances in understanding powdery scab and potato resistance, providing new perspectives for developing durable and integrated strategies to manage the disease. ABSTRACT Powdery scab of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) is caused by the soil‐borne protist Spongospora subterranea f. sp. subterranea (Sss).

Mass Spectrometry-Based Non-Targeted Lipidome Analysis and Extraction of Markers for the Authentication of White and Black Truffle Species and Their Origin Determination

Agriculture
The visual authentication of high-value truffles (Tuber magnatum and Tuber melanosporum) is challenging, as they share similar morphological characteristics with other truffle species that have a lower economic value. This similarity complicates accurate

The bacterial communities of Tuber aestivum: preliminary investigations in Molise region, Southern Italy

Annals of Microbiology, 2020
Purpose Truffles are colonized by a complex microbial community of bacteria, yeasts, and filamentous fungi, whose role has not yet been fully understood. The main purpose of the research was to characterize the bacterial communities associated with Tuber

Niche Segregation Between Black‐Necked Crane and Common Crane in Human‐Modified Landscape, Huize Black‐Necked Crane National Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province, Southwestern China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We investigated how Black‐necked Cranes and Common Cranes coexist in agro‐wetland landscapes of southwest China by reconstructing their plant‐based diets using eDNA metabarcoding. Black‐necked Cranes maintained broad, stable diets centered on natural vegetation, while Common Cranes shifted dynamically to energy‐dense crops, leading to progressive niche

Starch Synthase 3 isoforms are essential for normal starch granule initiation in wheat endosperm

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1075-1091, April 2026.
Summary Wheat grains have two distinct types of starch granules. Large, lenticular A‐type granules are formed from a single initiation per amyloplast during early grain development, while numerous small B‐type granules are initiated during later grain development.

Multifaceted roles of BBX transcription factors: impacts on key agronomical traits and environmental resilience

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 762-787, April 2026.
Summary B‐box (BBX) proteins were initially characterized as transcription factors connecting light signaling to the regulation of flowering time and seedling photomorphogenesis. However, over the last decade, increasing evidence has shown that they integrate light and hormone signaling, modulating multiple physiological processes during plant life. In

Vacuolar zinc transporter TaMTP1 safeguards wheat fertility and regulates grain zinc allocation via stem‐mediated sequestration

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 1, April 2026.
SUMMARY Metal tolerance protein 1 (MTP1) is essential for metal homeostasis and detoxification, but its roles in crop fertility and reproductive organ development are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that wheat TaMTP1 safeguards reproductive success and grain Zn allocation by mediating vacuolar Zn sequestration in stems.

Food Choice and Fitness of Folsomia candida (Collembola, Isotomidae) Fed on Twelve Species of Truffle

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
Fungi are a significant food resource for soil fauna, whose grazing behavior can have a significant impact on their development. This relationship is an important aspect in soil functioning, with soil fungi acting as primary agents in decomposition ...
