Harnessing Bulk‐Segregant Mapping to Identify Trait‐Associated Genes in the Allopolyploid Model Plant Nicotiana benthamiana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forward genetics has been instrumental in identifying genes underlying desirable traits, yet its application to polyploid plants, many of which are key agricultural crops, remains challenging due to their genomic complexity. Therefore, we developed BenthMap, a bulk segregant analysis platform for high‐throughput trait mapping and gene ...

Molecular Targeted Suppression of Male Fertility in Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson: Function and Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets‐Based Delivery System of ApmiR319

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amaranthus palmeri is one of the most troublesome invasive agricultural weeds worldwide, exhibiting super invasiveness and high resistance to conventional management strategies. Artificial microRNA‐mediated silencing technology, coupled with a nanoparticle‐mediated delivery system, represents an attractive approach for fertility control in A ...

A Natural LTR Retrotransposon Insertion in the Promoter of GhNAC140‐Dt Boosts Cotton Lint Yield

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transposable elements (TEs) are fundamental drivers of crop evolution and domestication. Whereas the underlying mechanisms of TE‐mediated gene activation remain poorly understood. Lint percentage is an important yield component in cotton. Here, we report a retrotransposon insertion in the promoter of GhNAC140‐Dt, a secondary wall NAC encoding ...

Enhancing Tolerance to Combined Heat and Drought Stress in Cool‐Season Grain Legumes: Mechanisms, Genetic Insights, and Future Directions

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing frequency of concurrent heat and drought stress poses a significant challenge to agricultural productivity, particularly for cool‐season grain legumes, including broad bean (Vicia Faba L.), lupin (Lupinus spp.), lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.), pea (Pisum sativum L ...

Three Closely Related Spodoptera Species Similarly Affect Gene Expression and Phytohormone Levels but Differentially Induce Volatile Emissions in Maize

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants can perceive specific elicitors in the oral secretions (OS) of herbivorous insects and respond by increasing their defences. Whether plants can discriminate among similar herbivorous insect species and differentially modulate their defence responses against them is largely unknown.

Inflammatory Mediators Both Directly and Indirectly Promote Microglial Proliferation

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 5, May 2026.
– CSF2, IL3, and TNFɑ directly promote microglial proliferation. – Neuron‐secreted factors suppress microglial proliferation. – IL1 cytokines promote CSF2 release from astrocytes, which promotes microglial proliferation. ABSTRACT Microglia—the predominant immune cell of the central nervous system (CNS)—possess an astounding capacity for proliferation ...

Sequence‐Based and Functional Analysis for the Discovery of N‐Glycan Degrading Glycosidases From the Microbial Metagenome of the Infant Gut

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
This research offers valuable understanding of how N‐glycans are broken down by the gut microbiota of infants, focusing on glycoside hydrolase families GH2, GH20, and GH18. It reveals that the gut microbiota of breastfed infants has a diverse array of genes coding for these enzymes.

Self‐compatibility in Solanum malmeanum (Solanaceae): Evolutionary and breeding impacts for a novel source of genetic variation in diploid potatoes

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Solanum malmeanum, a wild relative of the potato (S. tuberosum), is native to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. This wild potato species belongs to the tertiary gene pool (2x = 2n = 24, 1EBN – Endosperm Balance Number) and possesses valuable traits for potato breeding. Understanding its reproductive mechanisms is crucial for effectively
