Texas A&M researchers are working with the University of Florida on a potential treatment for the disease. Spinach-Based Treatment Offers Hope Against Citrus Greening Texas A&M researchers are working with the University of Florida on a potential treatment…
The bactericide zhongshengmycin, used in Xinjiang for more than 30 years to control bacterial plant diseases, currently faces a low resistance risk from Erwinia amylovora, the pathogen behind pear fire blight. Fire blight is one of the most destructive bacterial diseases…
A new review examines how polysaccharide-based micro- and nanocapsules are used to give textiles antimicrobial, UV-protective, flame-retardant, insect-repellent and cosmetic functions, and what determines whether those finishes survive repeated washing.
Laboratory tests show the entomopathogenic fungus Akanthomyces lecanii isolate V3450 kills Asian citrus psyllid nymphs and adults in a concentration-dependent manner, though field efficacy remains unproven.
The new "races" have acquired the ability to defeat two of the most important stem rust-resistant genes, which are widely used in most of the world's wheat breeding programs. "Already, most of the varieties planted in the wheat fields of…
Pasture mealybugs mysteriously appeared in Texas in 2022. Since then, researchers have raced to find ways to keep them from killing the state’s grasses. By Michael MarksOctober 26, 2026 1:39 pmAgriculture & Animals, Texas Standard Original Pasture mealybugs are becoming a growing problem in Texas…
Whole-genome sequencing of the canola blackleg fungus Plenodomus biglobosus has yielded a 33.18-megabase assembly and comparative analysis identifying candidate genes behind its plant-infection strategies. Researchers have sequenced and assembled the whole genome of Plenodomus biglobosus, the fungus behind blackleg disease…
So Roston collaborated with a team to accomplish just that. Graduate student Cailin Smith set out to confirm the roles of the candidate proteins LaBrant and Ishimwe identified. She found that when certain proteins were missing, the plant’s membranes became…
A new study dyed kombucha-derived bacterial cellulose fabric with coffee waste, gardenia pods and sappan wood, finding the natural dyes were physically incorporated but the material showed high shrinkage, weak button strength and poor wicking compared with standard cotton fabric.
The clinic is housed in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences at the University of Delaware in Newark, operating as a function of Delaware Cooperative Extension. Plant pathology is the study of plant disease and the control of plant…
Plant diseases and pests and the biology of fighting them: rusts, blights and wilts, citrus greening, locusts and armyworms, and resistant varieties.
