Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1750-1765, March 2026.ABSTRACT To develop salt‐tolerant transgenic soybeans, ScHAL1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast), which increases salt tolerance by maintaining high intracellular K+ concentrations and decreasing intracellular Na+ during salt stress, was introduced into soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) through Agrobacterium tumefaciens‐mediated transformation.

Welcome Pathogens: Transient Heat Dampens Immune Responses to Acibenzolar‐S‐Methyl in Apple Plants
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1229-1248, March 2026.ABSTRACT Climate change affects plant‐pathogen interactions, with disease outcome varying depending on the pathosystem and environmental scenario. In Arabidopsis, a thermo‐sensitive module of salicylic acid (SA) signalling makes immunity vulnerable to heat.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1598-1616, March 2026.ABSTRACT Phosphate (Pi) is an essential macronutrient for plant development that is often limited in soil. Plants have evolved dynamic biochemical, physiological and morphological adaptations to cope with Pi deficiency, known as the Pi starvation response (PSR).

Ustilago hordei Delivers Heterologous Fungal Effectors for Screening and Characterisation in Wheat
Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 2, March–April 2026.Ustilago hordei, a barley pathogen, has been engineered to deliver effectors of fungal pathogens in wheat. Necrosis‐inducing activities of Parastagonospora nodorum effectors SnTOX1 and SnTOX3 can effectively be screened for. Challenges occur when stem rust fungus avirulence effectors are tested in this secretion system.

Multispectral pathology detection for conservation of heritage buildings : a mortar case study
Since the discovery of Portland cement in the 19th century, it has become the most widely used binder in construction. However, its use in the conservation of Cultural Heritage (CH) buildings has raised concerns over its incompatibility with historic bricks and lime-based mortars.

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.SUMMARY Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are the primary enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of the complex polysaccharides in plant cell walls. Given the important role of GTs in plants, it is necessary to undertake their functional characterization to better understand plant cell wall synthesis pathways to develop improved feedstocks for efficient ...
