A TALE of Transposition: Tn3-Like Transposons Play a Major Role in the Spread of Pathogenicity Determinants of Xanthomonas citri and Other Xanthomonads

mBio, 2015
Members of the genus Xanthomonas are among the most important phytopathogens. A key feature of Xanthomonas pathogenesis is the translocation of type III secretion system (T3SS) effector proteins (T3SEs) into the plant target cells via a T3SS.

Controlling banana bunchy top disease in Benin: Crop protection strategies with socio‐economic perspectives

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1675-1691, September 2026.
Banana and plantain are vital for food security and income in West Africa, yet banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) threatens production. This study combined remote sensing, field surveys, modelling and socio‐economic analysis to assess BBTV spread and control strategies in Benin.

Actinomycin Derivatives: Structural Diversification and Biological Activities

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Actinomycins are chromopeptide antibiotics exhibiting remarkable structural diversity and broad bioactivity. This review traces their development from naturally occurring D‐, X‐, A‐, G‐, Y‐, and Z‐type analogs to precursor‐directed, synthetic, and semisynthetic derivatives.

Ratiometric Mycotoxin Detection in Living Plants With Dual‐Emissive Nanosensors

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 47, 21 August 2026.
A minimally invasive microneedle patch integrates carbon dot‐embedded metal–organic frameworks as nanosensors to detect a key fungal toxin in living plants. The nanosensor produces a ratiometric fluorescence signal that enables early, non‐destructive diagnosis of fungal infection before visible symptoms, offering a new biomaterials‐based strategy for ...

The structural diversity of xanthomonadin aryl polyenes and functional analysis of the genes required for their synthesis by Xanthomonas phytopathogens

Phytopathology Research
Xanthomonas is a genus of plant-associated Gram-negative bacteria which infect more than 400 plant species. A characteristic feature of Xanthomonas bacteria is the production of yellow membrane-bound pigments called xanthomonadins.

Histone Modification Complex JMJ704‐HDA709 Negatively Regulates Salinity Tolerance in Rice

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 47, 24 August 2026.
This study reveals that the rice histone demethylase JMJ704 interacts with HDA709―a H3K9ac deacetylase characterized herein―to form a chromatin‐modifying complex. Under salt stress, OsWRKY72 recruits this complex through interaction with JMJ704 to target loci, repressing the expression of oxidative stress and salt‐responsive genes via removal of ...

Endochitinase Overexpression in Transgenic Tomato Plants Improves Resistance to Phytopathogens

Biotechnology Journal, Volume 21, Issue 8, August 2026.
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Transgenic tomato plants overexpressing an endochitinase gene showed confirmed transgene expression and enhanced resistance. Upon plants inoculations with Xanthomonas euvesicatoria pv. perforans and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, disease severity was significantly reduced compared to wild‐type plants, demonstrating broad ...
