Role of the tomato MARS1/ROUGH gene encoding a LYSINE‐SPECIFIC HISTONE DEMETHYLASE 1 in adventitious root and fruit skin formation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 3644-3669, October 2026.
The tomato mars1/rough mutant displays enhanced root regeneration and rough fruits due to ectopic cell proliferation. The causal gene encodes a lysine‐specific histone demethylase that normally maintains gene silencing. Its loss alters histone methylation, upregulating several genes, including those B‐type cyclins involved in tissue‐specific cellular ...

Synergistic Action of Rhizopus oryzae Lipase and Fusarium oxysporum Cutinase in the Enzymatic Transesterification of a High‐Free Fatty Acid Oil

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 17, 14 September 2026.
A bienzymatic system of Rhizopus oryzae lipase and Fusarium oxysporum cutinase was optimized for the transesterification of high‐free fatty acid waste oil into biodiesel. Synergistic enzyme action, immobilization‐enabled reusability, and successful 100 mL scale‐up highlight the industrial potential of the suggested biocatalytic approach.

T2T Genome Assembly and Multi‐Omics Data Reveal Terrestrial Adaptation and Mucus Biosynthesis in Tropical Leatherleaf Slug (Laevicaulis alte)

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 51, 14 September 2026.
A gap‐free genome assembly and multi‐omics comparison of the terrestrial slug Laevichaulis alte with an aquatic relative reveal that expansion of the VEGF family orchestrates mucus production, lipid metabolism, and immune defense—highlighting key molecular innovations for conquering life on land.

Quantitative analysis of glycerol in dicarboxylic acid-rich cutins provides insights into Arabidopsis cutin structure

Phytochemistry, 2016
Cutin is an extracellular lipid polymer that contributes to protective cuticle barrier functions against biotic and abiotic stresses in land plants. Glycerol has been reported as a component of cutin, contributing up to 14% by weight of total released monomers.

Groundnut Improvement for Aflatoxin Resistance: Progress and Opportunities

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Groundnut, or peanut, is an industrial oilseed crop that serves the food and feed industries and provides income along the value chain. Pre‐ and post‐harvest aflatoxin contamination, caused by Aspergillus spp., hinders the food and feed value and market opportunities of groundnut products. Developing and deploying aflatoxin‐resistant varieties
