Genetically Engineered Nanobody–Recombinant Antibody Colloidal Gold Strip for Ultrasensitive Atrazine Detection in Fruits and Vegetables

Food Safety and Health, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 737-748, July 2026.
A sensitive colloidal gold immunochromatographic assay for atrazine was successfully established using genetically engineered nanobody‐recombinant antibody, which overcame the shortcomings of traditional antigen‐antibody. ABSTRACT Colloidal gold immunochromatography (CG‐ICA) is distinguished by its cost‐effectiveness and rapid detection capabilities ...

Identify Plant Drought Stress by 3D-Based Image

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2012
Plants respond to drought stress with different physical manners, such as morphology and color of leaves. Thus, plants can be considered as a sort of living-sensors for monitoring dynamic of soil water content or the stored water in plant body.

Synergistic attraction: Development and field evaluation of a multicomponent lure for Zeugodacus cucurbitae based on host‐plant volatiles and gut bacterium‐derived volatiles

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6919-6930, July 2026.
The newly developed ternary blend was validated in field trials and proved highly effective in attracting both male and female Zeugodacus cucurbitae. Abstract BACKGROUND Zeugodacus cucurbitae is a global quarantine pest. Management of this pest relies heavily on chemical insecticides, which impose substantial environmental burdens. Male‐specific lures [

YOLOv8n-Pose-DSW: A Precision Picking Point Localization Model for Zucchini in Complex Greenhouse Environments

Agriculture
Zucchini growth in greenhouse environments presents significant challenges for fruit recognition and picking point localization due to characteristics such as foliage occlusion, high density, structural complexity, and diverse fruit morphologies. Current

Riding out the storm: Behavioural responses of a large herbivore to high‐Arctic winds

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1108-1124, July 2026.
Using 11 years of GPS data from 61 muskoxen in Northeast Greenland, we show how increasing wind speed and Arctic storms reshape movement modes and habitat selection. Muskoxen respond by bedding in dense vegetation, prioritizing energy conservation over foraging, revealing a simple behavioural strategy with potential fitness consequences under ...

Seed‐Associated Trichoderma and Their Potential as Biocontrol Agents Against Plant Diseases

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Trichoderma is a genus of beneficial fungi widely used in agriculture. Over 2 years of routine seed health analyses, we investigated the diversity of seed‐borne Trichoderma strains associated with seeds from 32 cultivated plant species. We assessed their mycoparasitic activity and their potential for disease suppression and plant growth promotion ...

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus: A persistent seed‐borne threat to cucurbits

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a highly stable, seed‐borne tobamovirus that threatens global cucurbit production. Its efficient mechanical and seed transmission, long‐term environmental persistence, and the spread of Clade II CGMMV isolates drive its rapid dissemination and cause severe yield losses.

Proteome Profiling of Cucurbita pepo Phyllosphere After Infection by Podosphaera xanthii and Application of Reynoutria sachalinensis Extract

Applied Sciences
Podosphaera xanthii is the main causal agent of powdery mildew (PM) disease for Cucurbita pepo. Disease control is attained principally by applications of chemical fungicides, along with parallel use of tolerant crop varieties and alternate application ...
