Molecular polymorphisms that underlie trait variation in crops: Lessons learned from soybean

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Genetic variation within a germplasm is important in crop improvement, providing a foundation for breeders to develop new varieties. Traits of agronomic and economic importance are often mapped to identify the genetic basis of observed phenotypes, oftentimes using quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis.

Jujube Witches' Broom Phytoplasma Effectors SJP1/2 Manipulate the ZjTCP2‐ZjTCP1 Cascade to Repress Leaf Cell Proliferation in Jujube

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
SJP1 and SJP2, two effectors secreted by JWB phytoplasmas, inhibit jujube leaf cell proliferation through manipulating a cascade involving ZjTCP2 and ZjTCP1, two TCP transcription factors from distinct subfamilies. ABSTRACT Leaf development into the final size is spatiotemporally regulated by cell proliferation and expansion. The jujube witches' broom (

The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Effects of Phytoplasma Infection on Aster Leafhopper (Macrosteles quadrilineatus) Settling Behavior and Development on Brassica napus

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 132-141, February 2026.
Aster yellows phytoplasma (AYp) infection alters host plant preference in aster leafhoppers (Macrosteles quadrilineatus), with infected vectors showing a significant preference for AYp‐infected canola (Brassica napus) early in the infection period. However, this preference fades as infection progresses. Despite early attraction, B.

Vibrational Signals for Mating Disruption Do Not Negatively Affect Grapevine Growth and Production

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Grape and Wine Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Vibrational mating disruption (VMD) is a promising strategy to control Scaphoideus titanus populations in vineyards, and it is based on the prolonged application of a species‐specific disturbance vibrational signal (DVS) on grapevines. Plants can react by different transcriptional, physiological, and morphological changes, according to the source and ...
