SbWRKY62 Coordinates With SbERF096 to Activate Pterostilbene Biosynthesis and Targets a Xylanase Inhibitor Protein for Anthracnose Resistance in Sorghum

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sorghum anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum sublineola (C. sublineola) is a destructive disease leading to severe crop damages. Pterostilbene is a phytoalexin that contributes to defence responses in sorghum, but the transcriptional regulation of its biosynthesis remained poorly understood.

Drought affects Fe deficiency‐induced responses in a purple durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) genotype

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Combined Fe deficiency and drought in durum wheat trigger interactive responses: drought suppressed root Fe uptake regardless of Fe availability, and both stresses altered phytosiderophore release, ABA level and Fe transporter gene expression, revealing a trade‐off between water and Fe. Abstract Iron (Fe) is essential for plants and humans, with over 2

AoMYB114 transcription factor regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis in the epidermis of tender asparagus stems

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionAsparagus is a valuable vegetable, and its edible part is a tender stem. The color of the tender stem epidermis is an important trait. In particular, purple asparagus is rich in anthocyanins.

Exogenous IAA application alleviated altered physiological and biochemical processes through promoting H‐ATPase and Fe chelate reductase activities in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) subjected to iron deficiency

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Exogenous IAA supply enhances the strategy I response in common bean under iron deficiency. Abstract Iron deficiency is a common nutritional disorder observed in calcareous soils, where its resolution by classical methods has shown its failure. However, the exploitation of certain potentialities possessed by crops (rhizosphere acidification, H‐ATPase ...

Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co‐occurrence, arguing that methodological flaws and data misinterpretation have led to unsupported reports, and offer recommendations for more rigorous future research.

Early‐stage diagnosis of nutrient deficiency by chlorophyll fluorescence in maize

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Symptomatic differences between nitrogen and magnesium deficiency in maize seedlings can be detected using chlorophyll fluorescence to measure spatiotemporal changes in leaf chlorophyll and epidermal UV‐absorbing compounds for early diagnosis and differentiation of nutrients.

Recent advances in biosynthesis and regulation of strawberry anthocyanins

Horticulture Research
Abstract Cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is a kind of Rosaceae fruit crops grown worldwide. It is popularly consumed for its attractive color, juicy flesh, and nutrient content. The rich anthocyanin in strawberry fruits is responsible for its coloration.

High‐throughput image‐based phenotyping of soybean hilum color

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Hilum color in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is an important morphological trait influencing market classification and seed quality traits, yet its phenotyping is largely subjective, relying on visual inspection and assignment to one of eight color classes. This study developed an image‐based high‐throughput pipeline to measure and classify

Development and Characterization of Ribes nigrum Extract‐Loaded PLGA/Chitosan Nanoparticles as a Vaginal Drug Delivery System for Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 36, September 20, 2026.
Ribes nigrum extract‐loaded PLGA/chitosan nanoparticles is developed as a vaginal drug delivery system for vulvovaginal candidiasis. The chitosan‐coated nanoparticles exhibit favorable physicochemical properties, strong mucoadhesion, sustained release for up to 2 weeks, excellent biocompatibility, and potent antifungal activity against Candida ...
