Since the first outbreaks in the first half of 1900, the TSWV infections have represented a serious threat for several crops, such as tomato, pepper, lettuce, potato, peanut and tobacco, in both open-field and greenhouse farming conditions. TSWV is transmitted in a persistent, propagative manner by thrips vectors belonging to the genera <i>Frankliniella</i> and <i>Thrips</i>. Besides the vector control, the use of resistant cultivars has been one of the most effective management strategies of TSWV disease, at least for tomato and pepper crops. However, the selection pressure has led to the emergence of novel resistance-breaking viral strains which are increasingly responsible for the re-emergence of TSWV outbreaks in several cropping areas. As type species of tospoviruses, TSWV has also been particularly well studied for understanding the structure of the different tospovirus proteins and their roles in replication, infection, thrips transmission and ecological processes. This review aims to consolidate the most recent advances in research on this virus and will form the basis of an updated version of the Association of Applied Biologists description of plant viruses for TSWV.</p>","PeriodicalId":7977,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Applied Biology","volume":"186 2","pages":"93-114"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143497327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this issue, it is crucial to develop innovative technologies that promote sustainability in production. One potential solution is the use of plant growth-promoting microorganisms, particularly those with biocontrol properties. In this study, root-endophytic actinomycetes isolated from <i>Bromus auleticus</i>, a South American forage grass, were investigated. Their ability to promote plant growth and their biocontrol activity against fungal phytopathogens were analysed. The actinomycetes were characterised molecularly, morphologically, and physiologically. Their ability to solubilise P, fixate N₂, produce phytohormones, nitrate, siderophores, phenazines and lytic enzymes was assessed. Both in vitro dual-antagonistic and in vivo biocontrol assays were performed. The strains were identified as species of the <i>Micromonospora</i> and <i>Microbispora</i> genus. They were able to produce auxins, solubilise phosphorus and release lytic enzymes, and nitrate. In vitro, both species of <i>Micromonospora</i> aff. <i>halotolerans</i> reduced the growth of fungal phytopathogens by 12%–34%. In particular, the strain <i>Micromonospora</i> aff. <i>halotolerans</i> TWB21 was found to reduce the pre-emergence effects of <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> growth when the actinomycete was inoculated by seed immersion. Moreover, this strain improved the seed emergence, plant establishment and plant growth parameters under biotic stress.

We assume that the genetic mechanism underlying the resistance evolution of <i>N. lugens</i> differs between the imidacloprid- and dinotefuran-resistant phenotypes. Dinotefuran-resistant strains, collected from a paddy field in Kumamoto in 2013 (Res-D13) and 2014 (Res-D14), were subjected to quantitative genetic analysis. The realized heritabilities of dinotefuran resistance were 0.091 (Res-D13) and 0.084 (Res-D14) after the 15th generation of selection. Reciprocal cross experiments between Res-D13 and the susceptible strain (Sus-strain), and between Res-D14 and the Sus-strain, showed that the degree of dominance for dinotefuran resistance ranged from 0.34 to 0.57. Analysis of the F₂ population and backcrosses to the parental strains indicated that dinotefuran resistance is a quantitative trait controlled by multiple genes on autosomal chromosomes.

As a matter of fact, 2024 was a year in which many decisions were made in order to introduce changes to the &lt;i&gt;Annals of Applied Biology&lt;/i&gt;, always looking for a more interesting format, style, and ways to make the submission and the reviewing processes more friendly, quick and efficient.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first change is that &lt;i&gt;Annals&lt;/i&gt; has been rebranded with a new strapline of ‘Biosciences for Sustainability’. If you want to know more about it, read the Parry and Azevedo (&lt;span&gt;2025&lt;/span&gt;) Editorial (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aab.12952), published jointly in this January issue of 2025. There is actually quite a lot more information in the editorial about conferences/events and special issues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wiley (https://www.Wiley.com/en-us) has launched a new platform that will replace ScholarOne. In 2025, this new platform will be used by the editorial board for processing and editing all submissions to the journal. Our editors will have the opportunity to be trained and get used to it. It is important to remember that in 2023, the Research Exchange submission portal (ReX, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/17447348/homepage/forauthors.html) Wiley online submission platform was launched; some adjustments have been made, and it seems to be working nicely.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps the most significant change is related to the structure of the Editorial Board. Discussions among the Association of Applied Biology (AAB – https://www.aab.org.uk) Council, Editors and Wiley have taken place during 2024, and a new editorial board structure and the way it works should be implemented during the first quarter of 2025. &lt;i&gt;Annals&lt;/i&gt; currently has an Editor-in-Chief (EiC), who is also a Senior Editor (SE), a group of Senior Editors for selected subject areas, and a large number of Associate Editors (AEs) covering the wide range of subjects/areas published by &lt;i&gt;Annals&lt;/i&gt;. We noticed that, in many cases, the time taken from manuscript submission, assigning the manuscript to a SE, then to an AE and only then to the reviewers, was far too long and caused delays and even communication issues. Hopefully, the new structure will be more efficient and allow faster manuscript handling and sending decisions to the authors. We truly appreciate the help, dedication and commitment of all editors currently on the Board of &lt;i&gt;Annals&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I must also inform that I am completing my term as EiC on the 31st of December 2025. I have decided to step down and retire from my editorial activities, but I will stay on as SE for 1 extra year (2026) during the transition period and implementation of the new structure of the editorial board.

Their reasoning is based on several issues, with two main pillars supporting the whole concept. One involves mitigating global hunger, and the other addresses the impact that today's agricultural production has on the environment, particularly due to extensive and intensive agricultural practices, especially in developing countries and regions that help feed their populations. Perhaps the most promising proposal—and, as bibliometric analysis shows, more and more popular in the scientific community—is to replace animal protein with insect protein. It would allow for shifting agricultural production from animal-based to insect-based. In order to address this concept, the research community has been deeply involved in studying edible insects over the last decade. In doing so, researchers have examined nutritional value, sustainable production and environmental impact, consumer acceptance, and the challenges and opportunities from various perspectives. One might think that with such deep knowledge, the agricultural industry is well-equipped to initiate this shift. In this article, we argue that this statement is far from true. It appears that the scientific literature on edible insects fails to address what is likely the most important aspect for producers: farming techniques and practices, along with related topics such as feeding, protection from diseases, pathogens, and pests, rearing conditions, breeding, and many other factors. The critical need to improve the sustainability of global agricultural production and reduce its environmental impact calls for rapid changes, so the agricultural research community should stop waiting for others to decide whether edible insects are the way to go. Instead of waiting, they should focus on addressing the most critical aspects of insect farming. The industry is, in fact, ahead of science, as insect farms are spreading across the world.
