The potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida overcomes major potato resistance through selection on standing variation at a single locus

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3039-3059, March 2026.
Summary Globodera pallida poses a major threat to potato production, with management strategies primarily relying on genetic resistance. However, increasing virulence in field populations across Western Europe raises major concerns for G. pallida control.

Trans‐QTL Alliance of HKT1 and PHL7 Modulate Salinity Stress Tolerance and Enhance Crop Yield Endurance

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1166-1188, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Salinity stress can cause significant yield losses in crops because of its major impact on reproductive success. The complexity of salinity stress responses, particularly their tissue‐ and cell‐specific regulation, continues to challenge the translation of molecular insights into tangible crop yield improvements.

Natural Variation in TaFAD8‐D Promoter Enhances Thermotolerance in Wheat Through Fatty Acid and Lipid Remodelling

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1251-1268, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Heat stress (HS) has become an increasing threat to wheat productivity under global warming. However, the genetic loci for thermotolerance and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, genetic mapping identified a thermotolerance locus, QMpe.cau‐2D, encoding fatty acid desaturase 8 (FAD8), with the transposable

Genetic Determinants and Breeding Strategies for Rice Cooking and Eating Quality: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1697-1711, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Rice cooking and eating quality (CEQ), a core agronomic trait tied to consumer preference and market value, is regulated by endosperm starch, protein, and lipid metabolism; this review synthesizes advances in its molecular mechanisms, focusing on genetic determinants and regulatory networks of storage substances.

Single Cell Multiomics of Hooked Potato Stolons Reveals Parallels to Shoot Apical Meristems in Arabidopsis

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1822-1838, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Solanum tuberosum L. (potato) is a key food crop, with its tubers serving as an important food source worldwide. Tuber development is a tightly regulated process involving the transition of a hooked stolon (a modified stem) to a tuber following the perception of mobile signals within the stolon tip. While genes like FLOWERING LOCUS T homologue

The Evolution and Origin of Allotetraploid Aegilops geniculata Revealed by the Homoeolog‐Resolved Genome Assembly

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1866-1884, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aegilops geniculata Roth is a tetraploid (MgMgUgUg; 2n = 4x = 28) wild relative of wheat and a valuable source of genetic diversity for improving agronomic traits. We present a high‐quality homoeolog‐resolved assembly and annotation of the Ae.

When Metabolomics Meets Quantitative Genetics: An Integrative Strategy to Elucidate Plant Resistance Mechanisms

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1712-1727, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Gene pyramiding in crop varieties offers a promising strategy to achieve sustainable production and reduce reliance on pesticides. However, stacking resistance genes without understanding their biological functions may result in transient protection.

Exploring the genetic diversity of the IPK Medicago germplasm collection using GBS

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 345-358, March 2026.
Genotyping‐by‐sequencing of 1234 accessions from the Medicago collection of the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) revealed broad genetic diversity across 40 species, providing one of the first genus‐wide insights into relationships between both cultivated and wild species of Medicago.
