Engineering compact Physalis peruviana (goldenberry) to promote its potential as a global crop

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1550-1556, September 2026.
Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) produces sweet, nutritionally rich berries, yet like many minor crops, is cultivated in limited geographical regions and has not been a focus of breeding programs for trait enhancement. Leveraging knowledge of plant architecture‐related traits from related species, we used CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing to generate a

Cybianthus anthuriophyllus (Primulaceae), a new record for the flora of Colombia: distribution modeling and conservation assessment

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Cybianthus anthuriophyllus (Primulaceae) was previously known from eastern Ecuador and northern Peru. Here we document the first confirmed occurrences of this species in Colombia and develop a distribution model based on collections from the Andean–Amazonian foothills of Caquetá, Cauca, and Putumayo departments, in order to clarify its conservation ...

Eriope barrinhae (Lamiaceae, Hyptidinae), a new montane species from northern Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
In northern Minas Gerais, in the Monte Azul region, the Pico da Formosa mountain remains poorly explored botanically despite recent discoveries of new taxa. During fieldwork at the summit of this mountain, we discovered a distinctive population of Eriope that differs from all known species by a unique combination of morphological characters.

Water and Gas Exchange Responses of Five Related Blueberry Species (Ericaceae spp.) to the Dry Season in the High‐Andean Forest of the Colombian Eastern Cordillera

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vaccinium, Cavendishia, and Macleania are typical genera of blueberries from the Ericaceae belt, a narrow ecosystem that connects the high Andean forest and páramo, where fragmentation makes the species more vulnerable to climate change. To answer the question of whether five related blueberry species could physiologically behave similarly in ...
