The SD1 locus affects primary seed dormancy in winter malting barley
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Preharvest sprouting (PHS) resistance and seed dormancy are key targets for malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in environments with a high probability of rain events at harvest. Characterization has been limited in winter malting barley compared to spring malting barley in the United States.

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Coffee is one of the world's most widely consumed beverages, derived mainly from Coffea arabica, known for its superior flavor, and Coffea canephora (Robusta/Conilon), valued for its resilience and higher caffeine content. Functional breeding aims to develop cultivars that combine productivity and stress tolerance with improved health‐related ...

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2026.Switchgrass cultivation sustained biomass production while rapidly improving soil structure and reducing salinity in coastal saline‐alkali soils. These changes reshaped microbial communities through environmental filtering, establishing plant‐soil‐microbe feedbacks that support both bioenergy production and ecological restoration.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 3436-3454, June 2026.ABSTRACT Multigenerational stress exposure induces stress memory in plants, influencing resource allocation, defence mechanisms, and productivity. Weed competition imposes both resource‐based (abiotic) and allelopathic (biotic) stress, engaging overlapping hormonal pathways.

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 9, 15 May 2026.Cell wall stress in yeast triggers transcriptional reprogramming through the CWI pathway. This study identifies Sus1, a subunit of SAGA and TREX‐2, as a key regulator in this process. Sus1 associates with stress‐responsive genes, promoting pre‐initiation complex assembly, chromatin remodeling, and RNA Pol II progression independently of H2B ...
