Summary: This study found that fungal species causing Esca can lead to grapevine wood necrosis, disrupting the plant's physiological processes and eventually causing grapevine death. The study also showed that the impact of Esca on grapevines primarily affects leaf symptoms and genetic plant responses. Sap flow dynamics were identified as a useful tool in predicting plant disorders due to Esca.

Summary: This study examined the mechanisms occurring within 'Tocai friulano' grapevines infected with Flavescence doree (FD), revealing diverse modulations of defence genes and accumulation of metabolites. Successful defence mechanisms allowed the compartmentalization of FD symptoms and phytoplasmas within the infected grapevines.

Summary: This article proposes a novel approach to use remote sensing of cover crops to map soil nutrient availability and generate prescription maps for precision basal fertilization. It introduces the concept of using cover crops as reflectors of soil nutrient availability and describes two case studies to evaluate its feasibility. The article highlights the potential benefits and limitations of incorporating remote sensing with cover crops in sustainable agriculture.

Summary: Seasonal phenology forecasts are in high demand by winegrowers and viticulturists. This study assesses the performance of seasonal forecasts in predicting flowering and veraison stages of two representative varieties in Portugal. The study finds that forecast performance is influenced by initialization timings, regions, and predicting subjects. Improved forecast performance is observed with delayed initialization and only April 1st initialized forecasts outperform climatology in predicting phenology terciles. The study highlights the importance of climate variability in forecast performance and suggests methodological innovations and practical applications for reliable phenology forecasts.

Summary: In recent decades, there have been significant changes in temperature, precipitation, and phenological stages of grapevines in most wine-growing regions. The use of agrometeorological indices and statistical phenological models can help predict the occurrence of these stages and make decisions in the future.

Summary: The study used rice growth data from different climate regions in Taiwan to simulate rice growth rate using regression algorithm, artificial neural networks, and gene-expression programming. It was found that artificial intelligence-based nonlinear models were more accurate than the regression model, with artificial neural networks performing the best.

Summary: The tumor immune microenvironment plays a crucial role in cancer progression and treatment, but there is significant variation among patients, leading to a lack of precision in prognosis and treatment response markers. By generating a single-cell tumor immune atlas, researchers aim to provide a foundation for patient stratification based on immune cell compositions, and to use SPOTlight to enable in situ mapping of immune populations for digital pathology. This innovative approach is expected to advance current stratification methods for prognosis and immunotherapy in oncology.

Summary: This study investigates the responses of walnut seedlings to nitrogen stress through morphological and physiological observations, as well as transcriptome sequencing. The results show that walnut seedlings can adapt to nitrogen environment changes by modifying their root morphology and physiological indexes. Transcriptome analysis reveals a significant enrichment of differential genes in the plant's circadian pathway. The study also uncovers the role of the circadian clock in regulating the coordination between various metabolic pathways and root cell response to nitrogen stress in walnut seedlings.

Summary: Research shows that the cell cycle slows down during diapause, and resumption of cell cycle proliferation is an indication of diapause termination and resumption of development. Comparing cell cycle parameters between different genetically distinct European corn borer strains with different diapause timing can help identify molecular mechanisms associated with alterations of diapause timing.

Summary: The study found that plant microtubules cooperate with the plasma membrane to sense and process abiotic stress signals. Experimental results with grapevine cell lines showed that membrane rigidifiers can trigger defense responses by causing microtubule bundling, while membrane fluidizers enhance gene expression. The data supports a model that deploys specific responses to pathogen-derived signals.
