Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5401-5420, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.

A Water‐Saving Drought Survival Phenotype in a Wheat TILLING Mutant Involves Survival‐Biased Metabolic and Phosphorylation Reprogramming

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5435-5449, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought tolerance in crops often involves trade‐offs between water conservation, growth and reproduction. Understanding how water‐saving strategies are implemented at physiological and metabolic levels remains critical for improving crop performance under water‐limited conditions.

Evaluating the Combined Effects of Elevated [CO2] and Accelerated NPQ Relaxation on Yield, Physiology and Transcription in Soybean

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 6169-6187, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Improving photosynthesis is proposed as a means of enhancing crop productivity. To assess whether simultaneous increases in light use‐efficiency and carbon assimilation are additive, we investigated the impact of elevated CO2 on the performance of a transgenic soybean line engineered for faster relaxation of photoprotection by overexpression ...

Sulfadiazine selection enables high‐efficiency transformation in Nannochloropsis and Microchloropsis

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY Nannochloropsis and Microchloropsis are important as eustigmatophyte model organisms and the production of high‐value lipids. Efficient selectable markers are indispensable for genetic engineering to study and improve production yield of these species.

Phycobilisomes: modular light‐harvesting systems of cyanobacteria and red algae

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY Phycobilisomes (PBSs) are supramolecular pigment–protein complexes that function as the principal light‐harvesting antennae in cyanobacteria, red algae (Rhodophyta), and glaucophytes, and to a lesser extent in cryptophytes. Because the intrinsic chlorophyll‐based antennae of the photosystems absorb poorly in the green region of the spectrum ...

Employing Nanotechnology to Enhance Ethanol Production in Two Synechococcus elongatus Strains

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
Here, we report on how bacterial microcompartment technology can be used to improve bioproduction in cyanobacteria. Fusion of encapsulation peptides to the two enzymes of the ethanol biosynthetic pathway increased ethanol titres up to 84 times. 1.31 g L−1 of ethanol was produced in 6 days.
