AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs: from transcription factors to auxin effectors

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 2, Page 607-613, October 2026.
Molecular evolution of AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) effector function. Summary Signalling pathways have originated and diversified extensively during evolution. Using AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs (ARFs) as a model, we examine how a plant signalling system evolved through the co‐option of pre‐existing transcriptional regulators, a principle well established in

Molecular insights and translational opportunities to enhance heat tolerance in rice

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Heat stress is an increasingly serious threat to rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity, yet the genetic and regulatory architecture underlying thermotolerance remain poorly resolved and fragmented across studies. Earlier research focused on individual pathways or specific developmental stages; however, recent advances now support an integrated ...

Focus on DnaJ protein research from Arabidopsis to crop improvement

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract DnaJ proteins (Hsp40s) are essential components of the cellular proteostasis network, functioning as molecular co‐chaperones that regulate protein folding, stability, and stress‐responsive homeostasis in plants. Beyond their classical role as Hsp70 partners, accumulating evidence demonstrates that DnaJ proteins participate in diverse ...

A yield‐reducing introgression linked to sd1 in rice

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The semi‐dwarf (sd1) allele was central to the Green Revolution, but its widespread use in US tropical japonica rice (Oryza sativa L.) may have introduced unintended effects through linkage drag. This study examined the genomic region surrounding sd1 using genome‐wide association and haplotype analyses in a multiparent population (MP6/8 ...

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Plant‐derived signaling compounds mediate ecological interactions among plants, herbivores, their natural enemies, and neighboring plants. This graphical summary highlights three approaches to leveraging such ecological interactions for environmentally benign pest management: (1) Recruitment of natural enemies: Using herbivory‐induced plant volatiles ...

The IKU2/RLK7–MAPK–MINI3 signaling module controls endosperm cellularization timing to determine seed size in Arabidopsis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 9, Page 3374-3390, September 2026.
The phosphorylation status of the WRKY transcription factor WRKY10/MINI3, controls the timing of endosperm cellularization in Arabidopsis, thus regulating final seed size, offering a molecular understanding that could inform future agricultural breeding strategies. ABSTRACT Seed size is a critical factor in determining crop yield.

Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus C4 Suppresses Antiviral Immunity by Targeting the 14‐3‐3 Protein SlTFT2

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
TYLCV C4 interacts with tomato 14‐3‐3 SlTFT2, a positive regulator of antiviral defence. C4 reduces SlTFT2 nuclear accumulation via this interaction, suppressing host immunity. Residue S86 is critical for this interaction; its mutation (S86A/S86L) attenuates viral infectivity, revealing a viral subversion mechanism.

LURP1, a SARD1‐regulated protein, coordinates with the helper NLR ADR1 to promote plant immunity

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2852-2866, September 2026.
The working model of LURP1 function in plant immunity. Upon pathogen infection, SARD1/CBP60g promotes the transcription of LURP1 directly. LURP1 likely functions as an adaptor protein that associates with the PRRs–BAK1 complexes at the plasma membrane (PM) while also interacts with the ADR1 family helper NLRs.

The molecular regulation of axillary bud fate determination and outgrowth into branch crown in strawberry involves BRC1

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 3021-3038, September 2026.
Proposed regulatory model for the axillary bud (AXB) fate determination of outgrowth into stolon and branch crown (BC) in strawberry. Summary In strawberry, the axillary bud (AXB) can produce either an elongated stem called stolon giving a daughter‐plant (asexual reproduction) or an inflorescence‐bearing branch crown (BC; sexual reproduction).
