Genomic structure and ex situ conservation of the North American grapevine Vitis labrusca
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1649-1661, September 2026.The North American wild grapevine species Vitis labrusca is an important source of disease resistance and climate resilience traits for breeding new grapevine cultivars. To ensure its continued use in breeding, V. labrusca must be accurately identified and genetically diverse material must be conserved.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8382-8391, September 2026.Queensland fruit fly pupae tolerate hypoxia up to 2 days without compromising quality. Prolonged hypoxia, especially at 25 °C, reduces emergence and flight ability. Storage at 18 °C is recommended. Abstract BACKGROUND The sterile insect technique is used to eradicate outbreaks of Queensland fruit fly (Q‐fly) Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) in fruit‐fly ...

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8499-8511, September 2026.Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.

Tunable Fabrication of 2D‐Layered Magnesium Nanosilicates With Hemostatic Properties
Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2026.Tunable 2D magnesium nanosilicates form bioactive protein coronas, support cellular internalization, and promote hemostatic activity. These nanoclays enable shear‐thinning gel formation and reduce clotting time and blood loss, highlighting their potential for wound‐management applications. Tunable fabrication of inorganic two‐dimensional (2D) nanoclays
