Energy Potential of Zea mays Grown in Cadmium-Contaminated Soil
EnergiesCadmium is a non-essential element for proper plant growth and development and is highly toxic to humans and animals, in part because it inters with calcium-dependent processes in living organisms.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Field inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) offers a promising route to improve sustainable agriculture and food production, yet results are often variable. We investigated the mycorrhizal growth response of maize and wheat varieties recommended for farmers and found substantial variation under greenhouse conditions.

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.

Using ecoinformatics to evaluate the impact of crop and herbicide rotations on herbicide intensity
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Maize fields with cotton in rotation receive lower herbicide application than fields without cotton. Abstract BACKGROUND Crop rotation is a central component of integrated weed management (IWM) under real‐world conditions, yet its impact on herbicide use remains unclear. To address this challenge, we developed an ecoinformatics‐driven analysis approach

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.

Soybean induced resistance to Spodoptera eridania herbivory
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.SOD, CAT, APX, PPO, KTI, and MDA levels were higher in the resistant soybean. S. eridania herbivory increased H2O2 and MDA, but decreased SOD and PPO levels. S. eridania herbivory increased KTI activity only in the resistant variety. Isoquercitrin and daidzin were exclusive to resistant and susceptible soybeans.
