In Situ GWAS in Two Range‐Edge Populations of European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) Identify Genetic Factors of Adaptation to Climate Change

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In forest tree populations, the timing of budbreak (TBB) depends on several factors, both environmental and genetic. The genomic architecture underlying this trait is still not fully characterized. So far, common garden experiments have highlighted a few genomic regions with little heritability, while the whole spectrum of TBB variation ...

Developmental evolution of flowering plant pollen tube cell walls: callose synthase (CalS) gene expression patterns

EvoDevo, 2011
Background A number of innovations underlie the origin of rapid reproductive cycles in angiosperms. A critical early step involved the modification of an ancestrally short and slow-growing pollen tube for faster and longer distance transport of sperm to ...

Beneath the Bark: Molecular Determinants of Adaptation and Infection in Bacterial Pathogens of Woody Hosts

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Bacterial pathogens colonise woody hosts by integrating metabolic adaptation, effector‐mediated immune suppression, cell wall remodelling and EPS‐ and toxin‐supported persistence. ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens of woody plants represent a pervasive yet underexplored threat to global agriculture and forestry, causing devastating diseases in fruit trees ...

ABA Is Required for Leptosphaeria maculans Resistance via ABI1- and ABI4-Dependent Signaling

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007
Abscisic acid (ABA) is a defense hormone with influence on callose-dependent and -independent resistance against Leptosphaeria maculans acting in the RLM1Col pathway.

CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Editing in Plant Immunity and Its Potential for the Future Development of Fungal, Oomycete, and Bacterial Pathogen‐Resistant Pulse Crops

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3573-3585, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.

Effects of Elevated CO2 on Bean Pod Mottle Virus Infection in Both Incompatible and Compatible Interactions With Phaseolus vulgaris L

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4493-4512, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant viruses cause significant crop losses, a situation that could worsen due to anthropogenic activities driving global climate change, one factor of which is the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration. This study assessed the impact of elevated CO2 concentration (eCO2, 1000 vs. 400 ppm) on two genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris

PEK14: A Kinesin‐4 Necessary for Male‐Derived Fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana

Cytoskeleton, Volume 83, Issue 6, Page 337-353, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Of the 61 kinesins annotated in Arabidopsis thaliana , many are still without assigned function. Here, we have screened an insertional mutant library of Arabidopsis pollen‐expressed kinesins for fertility defects. Insertional mutants for three kinesins showed a significant reduction in seed set.

The DENN Protein SMD1 Forms a Signalling Hub With Rab GTPase YPT1 to Regulate Diverse Biological Processes in Phytopathogenic Fungi and Serves as a HIGS Target for Crop Protection

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
The DENN domain‐containing protein SsSMD1 is highly conserved across phytopathogenic fungi. Functioning as a putative GEF for RAS GTPase SsYPT1, SsSMD1 orchestrates its activation to regulate cell wall integrity, sclerotia development, and virulence in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

Plasmodesmata-mediated intercellular signaling during plant growth and development

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Plasmodesmata (PD) are cytoplasmic channels that connect neighboring cells for cell-to-cell communication. PD structure and function vary temporally and spatially to allow formation of symplastic domains during different stages of plant development ...

The molecular architecture of the Arabidopsis callose synthase complex

ABSTRACT Callose synthase is responsible for the targeted deposition of the β-1,3-glucan polymer, callose which underlines essential plant developmental processes, including cell division, pathogen defense or cell-cell communication.
