Engineered Production of Hydroxycinnamoyl Tyramine Conjugates Limits the Growth of the Pathogen Pseudomonas syringae in Arabidopsis

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydroxycinnamoyl tyramine conjugates are phenolamides produced by plants in response to pathogen attack and biotic stresses. Their proposed mechanisms of action include cytotoxicity towards pathogens, cell wall reinforcement to restrict pathogen proliferation, and signaling activity to trigger general stress responses.

From Lake Victoria to the Tap: Antibiotic Resistance and Pathogenic Contamination of Kisumu City Water Supply and Wastewater Network

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Waterborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose mounting public health threats across sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly in rapidly urbanising regions dependent on untreated or poorly treated surface waters. This study applied shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterise microbial communities, virulence factors and antibiotic ...

Disarming the Pathogen's Metabolic Weapon: A Novel Route to Durable Disease Resistance

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
Two routes to sugar acquisition in pathogenic bacteria and corresponding ‘pathogen‐starvation’ strategies. TAL effectors activate plant SWEET transporters to promote sucrose efflux into the apoplast, which can be blocked by editing SWEET promoter effector‐binding elements to prevent TAL binding. The T3E AvrBs2 converts host UDP‐galactose into xanthosan,

Protective Mechanism of Auricularia auricula Polysaccharides Against Acute Alcoholic Liver Injury Is Related to Different Consumption Doses

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
The study investigated the protective mechanisms of low‐, medium‐, and high‐dose Auricularia auricula polysaccharide (AAP) against acute alcoholic liver injury (AALI) by correlating hepatic biochemical indices with intestinal flora. ABSTRACT This study investigated the dose‐dependent protective effects of Auricularia auricula polysaccharides (AAP ...

Xanthomonas rydalmerensis sp. nov., a non-pathogenic member of Group 1 Xanthomonas

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology
Five bacterial isolates were isolated from Fragaria × ananassa in 1976 in Rydalmere, Australia, during routine biosecurity surveillance. Initially, the results of biochemical characterisation indicated that these isolates represented members of the genus Xanthomonas.

CRISPR/Cas Genome Editing and Its Applications in Cereal Crop Improvement

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT CRISPR/Cas‐based genome editing has emerged as a transformative tool for precise genetic improvement of cereal crops. Recent advances in CRISPR technologies, including Cas9, Cas12, Cas13, base editing, and prime editing, have enabled targeted modification of genes and regulatory elements controlling yield, stress tolerance, and grain ...

Field resistance of orange fruit to citrus black spot and citrus canker in D‐limonene synthase downregulated trees

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 2949-2959, April 2026.
Genetically modified (GM) sweet‐oranges with downregulated CitMTSE1 gene showed reduced citrus black spot severity and citrus canker incidence, confirming terpene modulation as a promising strategy for sustainable field citrus disease resistance. Abstract BACKGROUND Citrus black spot (CBS), caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa, and citrus canker (CC ...

Entanglement of plant immunity and endomembrane trafficking revealed by plant–powdery mildew fungal interactions

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 799-804, April 2026.
Summary Plant immunity is complex, and studies of leaf epidermal cells attacked by powdery mildew fungi have been instrumental in revealing how it relies on plant endomembrane trafficking. Immunity against these biotrophic fungi is manifested as cell wall deposits (‘papillae’) and the hypersensitive reaction (HR), both involving plant endomembrane ...
