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.

Prevention of Radial Oxygen Loss Is Associated With Exodermal Suberin Along Adventitious Roots of Annual Wild Species of Echinochloa

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Internal aeration is crucial for root growth under waterlogged conditions. Some wetland plants have a structural barrier that impedes oxygen leakage from the basal part of roots called a radial oxygen loss (ROL) barrier.

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 (

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 ...

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

Anatomy of pneumatophore of Mauritia vinifera mart

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2000
Pneumatophores of Mauritia vinifera Mart. were collected from six month-old plants maintained submerged in fresh water to induce pneumatophore formation. Twenty day-old pneumatophores had a quite prominent root cap.

A High Soluble‐Fibre Allele in Wheat Encodes a Defective Cell Wall Peroxidase Responsible for Dimerization of Ferulate Moieties on Arabinoxylan

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2751-2761, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Increasing dietary fibre (DF) intake is an important target to improve health. An attractive strategy for this is to increase DF in wheat which is derived principally from the endosperm cell wall polysaccharide arabinoxylan (AX). The water‐extractable form of this (WE‐AX) accounts for most soluble dietary fibre (SDF), which is believed to ...

S2‐PepAnalyst: A Web Tool for Predicting Plant Small Signalling Peptides

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3244-3260, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Small signalling peptides (SSPs) serve as crucial mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication in plants, orchestrating diverse physiological processes from development to stress responses. While recent advances in sequencing technologies have improved genome annotation, the identification of novel SSPs remains challenging due to their small size ...
