Enhancing Nutritional and Functional Properties of Broccoli Leaves Through Selenium Biofortification: Potential for Sustainable Agriculture and Bioactive Compound Valorization

Agronomy
Selenium (Se) biofortification is a promising agronomic strategy to enhance the dietary intake of this essential micronutrient while simultaneously adding value to agricultural by-products like Brassica oleracea L. var. italica leaves.

A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Transcript correlation analysis for the identification of novel plant genes involved in iron metabolism and beyond: what next?

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Transcript correlation analysis allowed the identification of several key nodes in the complex regulatory network of plant iron metabolism. Abstract Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant genome to be fully sequenced, almost a quarter of a century ago, thanks to The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, with contributions from scientists worldwide.

Consistent root microbiomes across contrasting habitats in a wild perennial vine

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Communities of bacteria and fungi associated with the roots are similar across diverse habitats in a wild plant. Abstract While we are beginning to understand that the plant microbiome is important for plant health, we still lack information about how plant microbiomes are shaped across environments and how they influence plant performance, in ...

Impact of simulated drought and cover crop mixtures on subsequent spring wheat yield

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Cover crops (CCs) are promoted as a mechanism for reducing soil erosion, enhancing soil fertility, and improving diversity in agricultural systems, but in drier climates, there are concerns about their impact on soil water availability for the subsequent crop.

Validation of the International Weed Genomics Consortium genome annotation pipeline through reannotation of the model species Arabidopsis thaliana

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The International Weed Genomics Consortium (IWGC) has sequenced and annotated the genomes of over 30 weed species, generating genomic resources to understand their biology, evolution, and adaptation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the semi‐automated, isoform sequencing (Iso‐seq)‐based, IWGC genome annotation pipeline by ...

Non-Host Status of Brassicaceae Plants to Mucoromycotina Fine Root Endophytes and Their Neutral Impact on Neighboring Host Mycorrhiza and Phosphorus Uptake

Agronomy
Brassicaceae plants are generally considered non-mycorrhizal; however, recent studies have challenged this non-host status, suggesting occasional colonization during reproductive stages or by overlooked fungi such as Mucoromycotina Fine Root Endophytes ...
