Fruit respiration: putting alternative pathways into perspective

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 54-73, April 2026.
Summary Over the past century, research has significantly advanced our understanding of fruit respiration, from (eco)physiological processes to molecular mechanisms. This review focuses on the functional relevance and regulatory roles of mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathways (ARPs) during fruit growth and ripening.

Edaphoclimatic Modulation of Nutritional Quality, Bioactivity, and Metabolomic Profiles of Grass Pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) Seeds

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Lathyrus sativus L. (grass pea) has been receiving growing interest because of its drought resistance and its adaptation to low‐input farming systems, but the biochemical adaptations of L. sativus to divergent environmental conditions are poorly comprehended.

The Occurrence of Flavonoids and Related Compounds in Cedrus brevifolia A. Henry ex Elwes & A. Henry Needles. Inhibitory Potencies on Lipoxygenase, Linoleic Acid Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidant Activity

Plants, 2017
The phytochemical analysis of the polar extracts of Cedrus brevifolia needles yielded 20 compounds, namely from the methanol extract we isolated three flavonoids (1–3), one hydrolysable tannin (4), eleven phenolic derivatives (5–15) and one apocarotenoid

Untargeted Metabolomics Reveals Organ‐Specific and Extraction‐Dependent Metabolite Profiles in Endemic Tajik Species Ferula violacea Korovin

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Ferula violacea Korovin, an endemic Tajikistani plant with purported medicinal properties, remains understudied. This study employs untargeted metabolomics to characterize the metabolite profiles of ethanol extracts and juices from F. violacea roots and seeds.

Designing the Future of Food: Challenges to Innovation in Microalgae‐Derived Blue Protein Systems

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2026.
This image illustrates the key factors in protein extraction from microalgae, along with the main sustainability opportunities and associated risks. ABSTRACT Microalgae are emerging as promising sources of “blue proteins,” a term used to categorize aquatic proteins derived from marine and freshwater organisms.

Characterization of Phytoene Desaturase Knockout Carotenoid‐Deficient Microalgal Mutants Generated by Cas9‐Ribonucleoprotein Complexes

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Phytoene desaturase (PDS; EC 1.3.5.5) is a key enzyme of the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway, catalyzing the desaturation of phytoene, precursor of all carotenoids. In this study, several PDS‐knockout (PDS‐KO) transformants of the chlorophyte microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were generated using a reverse genetics strategy. Two single guide

Molecular insights into volatile organic compound sensing and signaling in plants

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 6, March 2026.
SUMMARY Plants interact with their surrounding environment through the perception of a vast and structurally diverse array of volatile organic compounds (VOCs); however, the molecular mechanisms involved remain mostly unknown. Despite the large number of VOCs emitted and perceived by plants, only a small number of phylogenetically distinct, but often ...

Complementary shifts in photoreceptor spectral tuning unlock the full adaptive potential of ultraviolet vision in birds

eLife, 2016
Color vision in birds is mediated by four types of cone photoreceptors whose maximal sensitivities (λmax) are evenly spaced across the light spectrum.

The SIAMESE family of cell-cycle inhibitors in the response of plants to environmental stresses

Frontiers in Plant Science
Environmental abiotic constraints are known to reduce plant growth. This effect is largely due to the inhibition of cell division in the leaf and root meristems caused by perturbations of the cell cycle machinery.
