A Roadmap for Breeding Sweet Tomatoes

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
This graphical abstract outlines four breeding strategies for enhancing sugar content and sweetness in tomato fruits: (1) Identification of key genes and functional variant loci regulating fruit sugar accumulation through systematic germplasm collection, genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), map‐based cloning, and reverse genetics approaches.

A transient protoplast expression system for functional gene validation in sugarcane: Focus on drought response and immune pathways

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
We developed a transient expression system for sugarcane using Guitang 42 culm, suitable for various assays such as GCaMP6‐based calcium imaging. This system revealed that ScNCED3 acts as an early drought response signal, positively regulated by ScPYL4‐12, ScOST1‐12, and ScMPK6‐11.

Genome Editing in Root and Tuber Crop Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Precision genome editing, particularly using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9), is advancing crop improvement by enabling targeted and efficient genetic modifications. Root and tuber crops such as potato, cassava, sweet potato, and yam are vital for global food and nutritional

Association of Qualitative Characters With Agronomic Traits, and Their Breeding Importance in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus)

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT There is a paucity of available information on lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) qualitative traits and their associations with agronomic traits, despite such information being essential for the selection of best genotypes. Hence, this study was undertaken to evaluate relationship among qualitative and agronomic traits, and to explore the ...

The Biosynthesis and Functions of Flavonoids: Recent Advances From Studies Across Land Plant Diversity

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 3, June 2026.
Over the last decade there have been significant advances in genome sequencing and model species development for ferns, lycophytes, and the bryophyte lineages—mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. This has facilitated research on the biosynthesis and function of flavonoids in these non‐seed land‐plant lineages.
