From Defense Executor to Engineering Target: Harnessing Lignin for Crop Resistance
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.Lignin serves as both a physical and chemical executor of broad‐spectrum plant immunity. This review systematically summarizes classical and recent advances in lignin‐mediated immunity, outlines the multifaceted regulatory modules controlling lignification under biotic stress, discusses key physiological and biochemical mechanisms behind lignin‐based ...

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.

Assessment of genetically modified soybean DAS‐44406 × FG72 (dossier GMFF‐2025‐34192)
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Genetically modified soybean DAS‐44406‐6 × FG72 was developed by conventional crossing to combine two single events: DAS‐44406‐6 and FG72. The soybean DAS‐44406‐6 × FG72 expresses the AAD‐12, 2mEPSPS, PAT and HPPD W336 proteins to confer herbicide tolerance to 2,4‐D‐, glyphosate‐, glufosinate‐containing and HPPD‐inhibiting herbicide products ...

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
