The mirage of DNA methylation in transcriptional regulation of plants

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract “Cytosine methylation plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression in plants.” Some iteration of this statement can be found in most papers centered on plant epigenetics and has become a widely accepted textbook claim. However, our generalized understanding of how DNA methylation exerts control over transcription is now ...

Quick creation and mapping of EMS‐induced maize kernel mutants identifies classical gene ZmBT1 and novel gene ZmTOP6A

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Maize (Zea mays L.) kernel mutants are valuable tools for investigating kernel development. In this study, we employed ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis of pollen on five inbred lines, which displayed varying performance after treatment. Over 400 independent kernel mutants were generated, showing a wide range of defects in both type and

Adaptive Significance of Nickel Hyperaccumulation by Plants

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.
Metal hyperaccumulation may enhance plant fitness through multiple, non‐exclusive mechanisms, including elemental defense against herbivores and pathogens, altered pollinator interactions, and increased reproductive performance in metal‐rich soils. Metals may also affect plant–plant interactions via elemental allelopathy and improve stress tolerance ...

The phenological growth stages, heat unit requirement and anti‐tyrosinase activity of Greyia radlkoferi Szyszyl

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 549-560, March 2026.
Phenological growth stages of Greyia radlkoferi: The phenological growth stages of Greyia radlkoferi were monitored for a period of 3 years from 2018, 2019 and 2020. The flower budding, bud burst, flowering, fading, fruiting, seeding, leaf senescence and vegetative stage were recorded. The tyrosinase inhibitory activity of G.

Plant–Pollinator Interaction Potential Varies With Temperature and Precipitation in a Dryland Ecosystem Elevational Gradient

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Climatic variation may affect plant‐pollinator interaction potential by shaping intra‐annual patterns of flowering and foraging, thereby altering the windows of temporal overlap between partners. We examined whether spatial variation in temperature and precipitation predicted plant‐pollinator interaction potential across a dryland ...
