Effects of temperature and humidity on the presence and prevalence of a common fungal parasite on an invasive ladybird

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 86-97, February 2026.
We investigated how temperature and relative humidity influence the parasitic fungus Hesperomyces harmoniae on the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis under controlled laboratory conditions. Abiotic factors significantly affect parasitism: High relative humidity increased parasite prevalence, development rate, and load, while both low and high ...

An analysis of the energetic reward offered by field bean (Vicia faba) flowers: Nectar, pollen, and operative force

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Global consumption of crops with a yield that is dependent on animal pollinators is growing, with greater areas planted each year. However, the floral traits that influence pollinator visitation are not usually the focus of breeding programmes, and ...

Integration of light quality signals regulates ABA abundance and stomatal movements during seedling establishment

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1253-1267, February 2026.
Summary Obtaining sufficient light for photosynthesis and avoiding desiccation are two key challenges faced by seedlings during early establishment. Perception of light quality via specialised photoreceptors signals the availability of sunlight for photosynthesis.

Satellite DNA in Vicia faba is characterized by remarkable diversity in its sequence composition, association with centromeres, and replication timing

Scientific Reports, 2018
Satellite DNA, a class of repetitive sequences forming long arrays of tandemly repeated units, represents substantial portions of many plant genomes yet remains poorly characterized due to various methodological obstacles. Here we show that the genome of

The Dark Side of Stress Response: Night Temperature Regimes Drive Distinct Abiotic Pathways in Legumes

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 925-939, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Global warming increases night temperatures more strongly than day temperatures. Recent evidence indicates that the effect of night temperature on plant physiology is independent of daytime conditions, suggesting distinct stress tolerance mechanisms.

An Efficient Solid Phase Extraction Method for Purification and Analysis of Compound‐Specific Plant Sugar Stable Hydrogen Isotope Values

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 2, 30 January 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale The stable hydrogen isotope composition (δ2H) of plant compounds can serve as environmental or metabolic proxies, but interpretations are hindered by insufficient mechanistic understanding. This can be improved by analyzing the δ2H values of metabolic intermediates, such as sucrose, which is the direct substrate of cellulose and a ...

Management of faba bean gall in faba bean producing area of Eastern Amhara, Ethiopia

Journal of Agriculture and Environment for International Development, 2017
Faba bean new disease (faba bean gall) (Olpidium viciae (Kusano) is the most destructive disease of faba bean ((Vicia faba L.) in Ethiopia, particularly in Amhara, Tigray and some part of Oromia region.
