Comparative Metabolomic Profiling of Resistant and Susceptible Coffea arabica Accessions to Bacterial Pathogen Infection
Friday, 24-04-2026 | 13:58
Coffea, a plant species of significant agricultural value used in coffee production, is a key commodity that supports the livelihoods of millions of people worldwide. However, coffee cultivation faces substantial threats from various pathogens, including Pseudomonas coronafaciens pv. garcae (Pcg), the causative agent of bacterial blight. This pathogen compromises coffee plant health, leading to reduced yields and plant death and impacting farmers and large-scale producers.

Extreme heat is pushing agrifood systems to the brink worldwide
Extreme heat events currently threaten the livelihoods and health of over a billion people, causing half a trillion work hours to be lost annually, with the prospect for damage to livestock herds and crop yields set to soar higher in the future. Agricultural workers and agrifood systems are on the frontlines, absorbing the greatest impacts from extreme heat.

Experts Find Low Risk in GM Fungus for Malaria Control
Experts Find Low Risk in GM Fungus for Malaria Control
A study suggests that a genetically modified (GM) fungus could be a safe and effective tool for controlling malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Researchers in Burkina Faso, Africa, assessed the potential risks associated with the environmental release of a modified Metarhizium pingshaense (Mp-Hybrid) strain for malaria vector control. The approach aims to address growing challenges, such as insecticide resistance and changing vector behavior.
