Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 6, Page 791-802, July 2026.ABSTRACT Rachiplusia nu, known as the sunflower looper (SFL) and belonging to the Plusiinae subfamily, is a major defoliator of soybeans, sunflowers and other horticultural crops across southern South America. This species has recently expanded to central and northern regions of Brazil, becoming a key soybean pest.

De novo stolon organogenesis in potato leaf callus elicited by Agrobacterium tumefaciens stimulus
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 2073-2086, July 2026.Agrobacterium tumefaciens triggers stolon regeneration from potato leaf callus independent of T‐DNA insertion, suggesting a strategy to reprogram callus identity and expand the potential of tissue regeneration. ABSTRACT Plant cells can undergo cellular reprogramming, enabling pluripotent callus formation from excised leaves.

Provenance legacies override species effects in shaping oak rhizosphere microbiomes and metabolomes
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 488-504, July 2026.Graphical representation of experimental setup. Quercus spp. seeds were collected at two origins: upper Rhine basin (URB) and north German lowland (NGL). Summary As climate change drives more frequent drought‐heat extremes, selecting drought‐tolerant trees is crucial for future forest resilience. However, the role of tree–microbial associations remains

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4041-4053, July 2026.ABSTRACT With climate change, abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought and herbivory are predicted to further diminish agricultural productivity. Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill), a crop of global economic importance, is vulnerable to both. However, the interactive effects of drought and herbivory on soybeans haven't been explored, especially ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4166-4177, July 2026.Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone in plant responses to water deficit. Although there is extensive evidence that roots can synthesise ABA, recent findings suggest that local synthesis in response to dehydration contributes little to the root ABA pool compared to shoot‐sourced ABA.

Partial Resistance to Soybean Rust in Diverse Soybean Germplasm Under Field Conditions in Uganda
Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.312 soybean genotypes screened for rust resistance in Uganda. Consistent partial resistance identified in both MG1 and MG2. Rust index is highly heritable and strongly correlated with lesion type. Low G × E in MG1 indicates stable resistance expression. Top genotypes identified for breeding rust‐resistant African cultivars. ABSTRACT Soybean rust (SBR),
