Can the Carbon Storage Function of a Degraded Mountain Wet Meadow Be Restored?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Sierra Nevada meadows experienced intense livestock grazing in the 19th century, resulting in a shift from deep‐rooted highly productive perennial clonal sedges to short‐lived and shallow‐rooted plants. The current meadow vegetation contains >20% bare ground and <10% cover of highly productive clonal sedges and rushes. We hypothesized that the

Neighbour Effects and Dynamics of Plant‐Associated Microbiomes in a Strip‐Crop System

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Distinct plant species differentially affect the assembly of host‐associated microbial communities in a strip‐crop system. Crop neighbouring effects on the microbiomes were highest at the edge of the strips, which further reveals reduced leaf pathogens.

Rapid non‐destructive assessment of leaf water status with low‐cost transmittance meters

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 10, Page 2873-2880, October 2026.
Abstract Tools for more efficiently managing agricultural production and the use of limited water resources are required in the context of a growing global population, while the increasing threat posed by droughts and wildfires necessitates improved methods for risk assessment, forecasting and early warning. Quantifying leaf water content is central to

Empirical prediction of organic matter digestibility in grasses, legumes and their mixtures from dairy farms in Atlantic Spain

Grassland Science, Volume 72, Issue 4, Page 266-280, October 2026.
Abstract This study characterized the chemical composition and organic matter digestibility (OMD) of herbage from commercial dairy farms in Galicia (NW Spain), a humid‐temperate Atlantic region, and developed empirical prediction equations for OMD based on routine wet‐chemistry traits.

Divergent roles of ent‐kaurene oxidase paralogs in rice momilactone biosynthesis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 3776-3789, October 2026.
Rice contains a five‐gene tandem array of genes encoding members of the ent‐kaurene oxidase (KO) family, with OsKOL4 and OsKOL5 playing divergent roles in momilactone metabolism, but both acting in the production of antifungal and antibacterial phytoalexins, which are important for disease resistance.

Combinatorial cis‐regulatory elements shape temporal effector expression in Ustilago maydis

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
We identified promoter motifs associated with infection phases in Ustilago maydis and analysed their positional distribution relative to transcription start sites and generated a synthetic minimal promoter that drives in‐plant gene expression. ABSTRACT Plant‐pathogenic fungi secrete small proteins, termed effectors, to reprogramme host metabolism and ...
