Phage Display Derived Antibodies Against Antimicrobial Peptide FsPDF2 Reveal Stress Response in European Beech

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant defensins (PDFs) are cysteine‐rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are important components of plant immunity. They occur constitutively in various plant tissues but are also upregulated upon stress. Therefore, these molecules are of great interest as markers for the diagnosis of early forest stress response in plants at the molecular

Genetic Basis of UV Bullseye Size Variations in Turnip Rape (Brassica rapa subsp. oleifera)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Floral ultraviolet (UV) patterns are visible to bee pollinators and can affect crop yields by impacting pollinator visitation. However, the mechanisms underlying the intraspecific variations of UV bullseye size remain largely unknown. We analyse the ecological consequences and genetic basis of floral UV bullseye size variation in an important ...

The MdERF17–MdbHLH149 Module Mediates Ethylene‐Induced Starch Degradation Through the Transcriptional Repression of α‐Amylase MdAMY1 in Apple

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ripening of climacteric fruits is characterised by a sharp increase in ethylene production, coinciding with the conversion of starch into soluble sugars. However, the regulatory interplay between ethylene and starch degradation in apple remains largely unclear. Here, we report a negative correlation between starch accumulation and ethylene

Contextualized Metabolic Modelling Revealed Factors Affecting Isoflavone Accumulation in Soybean Seeds

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isoflavones, secondary metabolites with numerous health benefits, are predominantly found in legume seeds, especially soybean; however, their contents in domesticated soybean seeds are highly variable. Wild soybeans are known for higher seed isoflavone contents than cultivars. Here we used experimental and modelling approaches on wild soybean (

Influence of drought stress on the metabolite and ion composition in nectar and nectaries of different day‐ and night‐flowering Nicotiana species

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Drought stress leads to reduced nectar secretion and alters nectar composition of day‐ and night‐flowering Nicotiana species, which may impair plant–pollinator interactions. Abstract The frequencies of droughts worldwide will increase in the future due to climate changes. Nectar composition of plant species varies in relation to pollinator and can also

Therapeutic potential of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) in dysglycaemia and metabolic dysfunction: A systematic review and meta‐analysis across the diabetes spectrum

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this systematic review and meta‐analysis was to evaluate comprehensively the therapeutic potential of Abelmoschus esculentus (okra) supplementation across the diabetes spectrum of key metabolic risk factors. A search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library, up to 23 July 2025, to identify ...

Temporal genetic relationships between growth, development, and malting quality in winter barley (Hordeum vulgare) using aerial imagery

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Grain characteristics are the cumulative product of growth and development throughout the growing season. In barley (Hordeum vulgare), these traits determine the grain's value for malting purposes. The ability to accurately predict the genetic merit for malting quality is of great interest for barley breeding programs. Same‐season selection on

Efficacy and safety of fruquintinib combined with albumin‐bound paclitaxel as second‐line therapy for advanced gastric cancer following failure of PD‐1 inhibitor‐containing treatment (TACTIC GC‐01): A phase II single‐arm study

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 9, Page 2219-2228, 1 May 2026.
What's new? Anti‐angiogenic drugs have shown promising efficacy as a second‐line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. However, it remains unclear how alterations in the tumor microenvironment following first‐line immunotherapy may impact tumor angiogenesis and influence subsequent therapeutic outcomes. This single‐arm study prospectively explored the

Inhibitory Effect of Lidocaine on Duodenal Peristalsis During Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial (With Video)

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Conventional antispasmodics used during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), such as hyoscine butylbromide and glucagon, are often contraindicated in elderly patients with comorbidities. This trial aimed to assess the efficacy of lidocaine for inhibiting duodenal peristalsis during ERCP.
