A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 230-245, April 2026.
Summary PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. Loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to reduced phyllotactic regularity and robustness in Arabidopsis and increased inflorescence branching in tomato. Whether these factors have similar functions in other species is not known.

Evolutionary and Functional Characterization of an Auxin Methyltransferase (CsIAMT) in Cucumber Reveals Its Role in Stress Adaptation and Development

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
The plant SABATH methyltransferase family drives phenotypic diversity evolution through gene duplication and new functionalization. Among them, IAMT, as the most ancient member of this family, is widely present in various species. The study identified a potential auxin methyltransferase homologous to IAMT (CsIAMT) in cucumber, which can catalyze IAA ...

Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This meta‐analysis integrated terminal velocity records for 1479 species from various sources and explored descriptive patterns by taxonomic group, seed dispersal vector, and seed appendage type. This study revealed that wing and pappus appendage decrease seed terminal velocity with a robust analysis using regression models to predict terminal velocity.
