Testing optimal defense theory: Root resistance selection in chicory (Cichorium intybus) reduces foliar defense and alters aphid performance and feeding behavior

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7951-7960, August 2026.
Root‐focused resistance in chicory reduces defenses in leaves, impairing root aphids but enhancing foliar aphid performance. Selecting root resistance can create unintended trade‐offs across plant organs. Abstract BACKGROUND Plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of herbivores at both aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) levels, involving ...

Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 3474-3505, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...

Toxicity of Four Common Environmental Chemicals Across Caenorhabditis elegans Life Stages Supporting the One Health Concept

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 8, Page 507-522, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Pesticides and pharmaceuticals are among the most common chemical groups in waterbodies and soils, and their universal distribution raises concerns about potential adverse effects on nontarget organisms and humans. Reproductive output disruption is of particular concern, as it transposes effects from the individual to the next generations at ...

Association Between Heavy Metal Exposure and Autism Spectrum Disorders: Discrepancies, Research Gaps, and Future Priorities of Human Epidemiological Studies

open access: yesGeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children is a major public health challenge. The potential epidemiological links between heavy metal exposure and ASD remains a controversial issue. This critical review examines the epidemiological discrepancies, including variations in exposure assessment, study design, and population differences that ...

Responsibility Waan (crow): Holding safety, welcome, and representation in spirit

open access: yesGeographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract This article reimagines geographical research through an Indigenous, Country‐centred methodology. Drawing on my doctoral research into Indigenous approaches to weed management along River (Shoalhaven River, New South Wales, Australia), I explore how living methodologies, grounded in relational ethics, spiritual responsibility, and more‐than ...

Soil‐Applied Silicon Does Not Affect the Performance of Aphis craccivora on Cowpea Genotypes

open access: yesEntomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is an important crop in tropical regions, where infestations of the black aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch (Hemiptera: Aphididae), can significantly reduce productivity. Silicon (Si) fertilization has been proposed as a strategy to enhance plant resistance to herbivores, although its effectiveness varies among plant ...

First Tetraploa Genome and Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveal Key Plant‐Microbe‐Soil Interactions for Salt Tolerance and Yield Improvement of Wheat

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4748-4765, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Salinity is a major threat to global agricultural productivity of staple crops such as wheat. Although microbial‐based solutions hold promise for alleviating salinity stress, practical implementation is hindered by insufficient mechanistic characterization of bioinoculants and their interactions with plants.

Competitive N uptake between rice and weedy rice

Field Crops Research, 2006
Abstract Weedy rice, red rice ( Oryza sativa L.), is a serious problem in rice-producing areas of the southern U.S. and various regions worldwide. It competes for production inputs, increases weed control cost, reduces yield and grain quality, and could eliminate economic returns.
