Identification and improvement of isothiocyanate-based inhibitors on stomatal opening to act as drought tolerance-conferring agrochemicals

Nature Communications, 2023
Stomatal pores in the plant epidermis open and close to regulate gas exchange between leaves and the atmosphere. Upon light stimulation, the plasma membrane (PM) H+-ATPase is phosphorylated and activated via an intracellular signal transduction pathway ...

Evolutionary constraints in host shifts: Limited adaptation of Plutella xylostella to cardenolide‐defended Erysimum cheiranthoides

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 501-516, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coevolutionary arms races between plants and insects, in which gains of novel plant defences select for counteradaptations in herbivores, are key drivers of biodiversity.

Genomic Origin and Diversification of the Glucosinolate MAM Locus

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Glucosinolates are a diverse group of plant metabolites that characterize the order Brassicales. The MAM locus is one of the most significant QTLs for glucosinolate diversity. However, most of what we understand about evolution at the locus is focused on

Functional characterization of NRT1/PTR FAMILY transporters: looking for a needle in a haystack

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1124-1144, February 2026.
Summary NRT1/PTR FAMILY (NPF) transporters play crucial roles in plant physiology and development due to their involvement in nitrogen nutrition and their ability to transport multiple signaling molecules and metabolites. Whereas most eukaryotic and prokaryotic NPF orthologs are peptide transporters, most flowering plant NPF transport other substrates ...

Contemporary hybridization among Arabis floodplain species creates opportunities for adaptation

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1542-1557, February 2026.
Summary Hybridization between closely related species is increasingly recognized as a major source of biodiversity. Yet, whether it can create advantageous trait combinations while purging harmful alleles remains unknown. To address this question, we studied Arabis nemorensis and Arabis sagittata, two endangered species that currently hybridize in a ...

Peptide signaling at the intersection of growth, nutrient sensing, and stress responses

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 4, February 2026.
SUMMARY Plant endogenous peptides emerge as central regulators of multiple aspects of plant physiology. They are secreted from cells and perceived by plasma membrane localized receptors, which activate downstream signaling pathways to regulate growth and development. In addition, endogenous peptides coordinate physiology with their environment.

Surprising amount of stasis in repetitive genome content across the Brassicales

, 2020
ABSTRACTGenome size of plants has long piqued the interest of researchers due to the vast differences among organisms. However, the mechanisms that drive size differences have yet to be fully understood. Two important contributing factors to genome size are expansions of repetitive elements, such as transposable elements (TEs), and whole-genome ...

Characterization of the Omnivorous Lygus lineolaris Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...

Floral morphology and structure of Emblingia calceoliflora (Emblingiaceae, Brassicales): questions and answers [PDF]

Journal of Plant Research, 2015
AbstractEmblingia calceoliflora, the sole species of the family Emblingiaceae (Brassicales), is a creeping shrub endemic to South Western Australia. The flowers have a characteristic slipper-like corolla (calceolus). Earlier studies using dry specimens have left some questions regarding the flower unresolved. Here I present an anatomical study of fresh
