Bioinspired Mechanosensitive Organic Artificial Neuron With Programmable Excitatory and Inhibitory Responses via Nonlinear Mechano‐Electrochemical Coupling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Organic artificial neurons couple mechanical deformation and ionic environments through nonlinear mechano‐electrochemical dynamics. Mechanical strain and electrolyte concentration reshape their nonlinear electrical characteristics, programming excitatory or inhibitory spiking responses that mimic mechanosensitive biological neurons and enable ...

Pest risk analysis on Xylella fastidiosa in Morocco

Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2023
Morocco is basically an agricultural country; almost 40% of the workforce is employed in this sector. Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-inhabiting pathogen which can infect more than 300 plant species, although most host species are symptomless. Until relatively recently, X.

Low Rates of Kaolin in Different Application Periods Reduce Diaphorina citri Population and Huanglongbing Incidence in Commercial Citrus Orchards

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most destructive citrus disease worldwide, and it has been disseminated by the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri, the vector of the causing agent Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. Although processed kaolin reduces psyllid infestation, long‐term field data from commercial orchards are limited.

Localization and characterization of Xylella fastidiosa haemagglutinin adhesins [PDF]

Microbiology, 2010
Xylella fastidiosais a Gram-negative, xylem-inhabiting, plant-pathogenic bacterium responsible for several important diseases including Pierce's disease (PD) of grapevines. The bacteria form biofilms in grapevine xylem that contribute to the occlusion of the xylem vessels.X.

Aphrophoridae as Potential Vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in Tunisia

Insects, 2023
The present study is an update on the situation of potential vectors of Xylella fastidiosa in Tunisia. Investigations in nine Tunisian regions (Nabeul, Bizerte, Béja, Jendouba, Zaghouan, Kairouan, Ben Arous, Tunis and Manouba) from 2018 to 2021 allowed for the observation of 3758 Aphrophoridae among a total of 9702 Auchenorrhyncha individuals collected

Benchmarking of Reference‐Based Tools for Strain‐Level Resolution of Plant Microbiome

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Strain‐level identification of each microbe is crucial for understanding its role in the host. Most of the existing tools have primarily been evaluated on human metagenomic datasets, whereas the plant microbiome exhibits greater diversity and complexity and thus poses a challenge in the strain‐level resolution of individual microbes.

No evidence for cicadas’ implication in Xylella fastidiosa epidemiology

Entomologia Generalis, 2020
Cicadas are prominent insects in the Mediterranean basin environments, including in olive orchards. The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited vector-borne plant pathogen that was introduced into southern Italy, causing significant losses of olive trees. Cicadas are xylem-sap feeders and potential vectors of X.

Water Contact Angle Reveals pH‐Conditioning‐Enabled Single Molecule at a Large Surface Sensing Mechanisms

ChemistryEurope, Volume 4, Issue 9, September 2026.
A physisorbed anti‐IgG layer is investigated through Water Contact Angle measurements to assess the impact of pH conditioning. The results show that exposure to acidic environments alters surface wettability, with a marked decrease observed upon antigen binding, thus linking conformational rearrangements to single‐molecule sensing.
