Out of the blue: family‐wide loss of anthocyanin biosynthesis in Cucurbitaceae
The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 6, September 2026.Significance Statement Anthocyanins are nearly universal plant pigments, making their evolutionary loss unexpected. Phylogenomics across Cucurbitaceae reveals the consistent absence of key structural and regulatory genes in the anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin pathways, indicating a family‐wide pathway loss. We propose Cucurbitaceae as a ‘natural knock‐

Acta Botanica Croatica, 1999 The differentiation of chromoplasts in the sepals of Physalis alkekengi was studied by light- and electron-microscopy and pigment analyses. The development of the chromoplasts from the chloroplasts started about four weeks after antítesis and, within the next two weeks resulted in the formation of small electron-transparent crystalloids connected to ...

14‐3‐3 proteins: Central hubs in plant development and stress adaptation
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 3107-3132, August 2026.This review highlights recent advances elucidating the important roles of 14‐3‐3 proteins in regulating phytohormone networks, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, growth‐defense trade‐offs, and evolutionary adaptations. Furthermore, it provides a forward‐looking perspective on 14‐3‐3 biology and the development of climate‐resilient smart crops under ...

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 plastid terminal oxidase associated with carotenoid desaturation during chromoplast differentiation [PDF]
, 2000 The Arabidopsis IMMUTANS gene encodes a plastid homolog of the mitochondrial alternative oxidase, which is associated with phytoene desaturation. Upon expression in Escherichia coli, this protein confers a detectable cyanide-resistant electron transport ...

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT Plant‐based antioxidants are widely incorporated into foods to retard oxidative deterioration and to deliver health‐related benefits. Yet, their in‐product and in vivo performance frequently diverges from predictions based on solution‐phase chemical assays, because matrix interactions, processing history, and host metabolism reshape both ...
