Enhanced CO2 Coordinates the Spatial Recruitment of Diazotrophs in Rice Via Root Development

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3678-3693, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the reciprocal interaction between root development and coadapted beneficial microbes in response to elevated CO2 (eCO2) will facilitate the identification of nutrient‐efficient cultivars for sustainable agriculture. Here, systematic morphological, anatomical, chemical and gene expression assays performed under low‐nitrogen ...

Boron deficiency responses in maize (Zea mays L.) roots

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 3, Page 315-329, June 2026.
Abstract Background Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Dicot plants respond to insufficient B supply by altering root architecture and root hair growth. How root systems of rather low‐B demanding monocot species such as maize (Zea mays L.) respond to B deficiency in terra has not been experimentally resolved, yet.

Genome‐wide association study identifies genomic regions under selection for domestication and agronomic traits in intermediate wheatgrass

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) (Thinopyrum intermedium, Kernza) is a perennial forage grass undergoing neo‐domestication as a grain crop. IWG provides numerous ecosystem services and has the potential to benefit rural communities as an alternative crop option with high market value.

You Shall Not Pass: Root Vacuoles as a Symplastic Checkpoint for Metal Translocation to Shoots and Possible Application to Grain Nutritional Quality

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plant nutrient uptake is performed mostly by roots, which have to acquire nutrients while avoiding excessive amounts of essential and toxic elements. Apoplastic barriers such as the casparian strip and suberin deposition block free diffusion from the ...

Plant Peptides on the Rise: From Historical Insight to Future Applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3777-3802, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant peptides constitute a rapidly expanding class of signalling molecules essential to plant physiology, mediating key processes such as development, stress adaptation, and immune responses. This review traces the history of plant peptide research, from the seminal discovery of systemin to the recent identification of non‐canonical peptides (

Research Progress and Hotspots Analysis of Apoplastic Barriers in the Roots of Plants Based on Bibliometrics from 2003 to 2023

Plants
The apoplastic barriers, composed of Casparian strip (CS) and suberin lamellae (SL), are integral to the regulation of water and plant nutrient uptake in plants, as well as their resilience to abiotic stresses.

Potassium Deficiency and Hormone Signalling in Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 2935-2951, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Potassium (K or K⁺) is a vital macronutrient that influences numerous physiological processes related to plant physiology and development. Recently, there is a growing focus on enhancing K+‐use efficiency (KUE) to ensure optimal plant growth, especially in K+ deficient soils.

Structure of the Casparian strip: an artwork knitted by cells

PLANT MORPHOLOGY, 2000
Summary: The structure of the Casparian strip was first described by the German botanist Robert Caspary in the 19th century. The function of the Casparian strip as an apoplastic barrier for solute transport is now fairly well understood. However, up to now the formation and the development of the Casparian strip is still an open question not only for ...

WRKY71 regulates lignin biosynthesis genes, promoting apoplastic barrier formation and enhancing salt exclusion in roots

Plant Stress
The Casparian strip (CS) and suberin form the apoplastic barrier, which blocks solute entry into the vascular stele under high-salt conditions. Here, transcriptome analysis of Arabidopsis roots during three stages of apoplastic barrier development ...

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 792-810, May 2026.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found
