Crop sequencing effects of seven crops on grain yield, volunteers, and weeds in Saskatchewan

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Every growing season, producers must decide which crops to grow and in what sequence to enhance returns and sustain productivity. However, when producers consider growing specialty crops like canary seed (Phalaris canariensis L.), coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), hemp (Cannabis sativa L.), or quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), data are ...

Deciphering plant–pathogen interaction with single‐cell omics

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Recent advances in single‐cell omics have enabled the decoding of gene regulatory networks at the cellular resolution during pathogen challenge. This review summarizes the technological developments in plant single‐cell omics and highlights their unique advantages for dissecting nearly all stages of plant–pathogen interactions, including initial ...

Understanding of Molecular Mechanisms and Breeding Strategies for Enhancing Oleic Acid Biosynthesis in Oil Crops

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Oleic acid (C18:1), a monounsaturated fatty acid, is a key determinant of nutritional value and oxidative stability of vegetable oils. Increasing its concentration has therefore become a central objective in oilseed crop improvement. This review summarizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms and breeding strategies underlying oleic ...

Whole-genome SSR profiling uncovers a novel marker for clubroot resistance in Brassica rapa var. rapa

Scientia Horticulturae
Clubroot disease in cruciferous crops, caused by the obligatory parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin. Due to the wide and rapid spread of the pathogen, the yield of infected crops has been progressively declining.

Mycoviruses as Biocontrol Agents: Potential Applications for Managing Pests and Diseases of Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus)

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) production faces a wide range of biotic threats. Pests typically pose a greater threat than diseases to oilseed rape, yet both vary considerably across the major cultivating regions. Management strategies often rely heavily on the use of chemical pesticides which may have harmful effects on the environment, thus ...

Clubroot disease revisited: molecular insights into pathogenesis and host resistance

Phytopathology Research
Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, the pathogen responsible for clubroot, poses a major threat to the production of cruciferous crops worldwide. The clubroot disease creates swollen, club-shaped galls on roots, which disrupt water and nutrient transport ...

Structure and sequence evolution in the pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) pangenome

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2723-2741, June 2026.
Summary Eukaryotic genomes harbor many forms of variation, including nucleotide diversity and structural polymorphisms, which experience natural selection and contribute to genome evolution and biodiversity. Harnessing this variation for agriculture hinges on our ability to detect, quantify, catalog, and deploy genetic diversity. Here, we explore seven

Divergent Regulatory Effects of Jasmonic Acid on Tomato Lycopene Biosynthesis Under Light and Dark Conditions

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
This study reveals the mechanism by which jasmonic acid (JA) regulates lycopene synthesis under light and dark conditions. In light, JA activates SlMYC2, which suppresses SlPIF1a and promotes SlPSY1 expression. In darkness, JA induces the acetyltransferase SlNATA1, which acetylates the dark‐accumulated SlPIF1a, thereby repressing SlPSY1 expression ...

Impact of breeding over the years on Canadian Brassica napus canola

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Significant improvements of Canadian Brassica napus canola have been made over the past decades through traditional plant breeding. The objective of this study was to evaluate the oilseed B. napus accessions from a gene bank and canola breeding programs of an industry (private) and the University of Alberta (UofA, public).
