Beyond Starch: Towards a Scalable Potato Platform for Molecular Farming

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4619-4639, July 2026.
Re‐engineering potato as a biosafe and host‐optimised platform for plant molecular farming by integrating intrinsic biological traits with targeted engineering strategies. ABSTRACT Thirty‐five years after the first recombinant protein was produced in potato and 30 years after clinical trials of edible vaccines from its tubers, the crop is being ...

Functional Characterisation of HAIRPLUS (NtHAP) Genes Involved in Trichome Development and Specialised Metabolism of Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4640-4655, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant glandular trichomes are specialised epidermal structures capable of synthesising, storing and secreting numerous varieties of secondary metabolites in different classes and are central to plant defence and the biosynthesis of high‐value metabolites.

CitPH4 Confers Resistance to Citrus Canker by Activating Papain‐Like Cysteine Protease

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4561-4576, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Citrus canker, a devastating disease caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc), poses a significant threat to global citrus production due to the high susceptibility of nearly all commercial citrus cultivars to it. Although transcription factor Citrus PH4 (CitPH4) is well known for regulating fruit acidity, its potential role in plant ...

Comprehensive Biophysical Profiling Evidences Self‐Oligomerization of Bacterially Expressed Pc Protein

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Polycomb (Pc), a core component of Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1), is largely intrinsically disordered yet forms buffer‐ and concentration‐dependent higher‐order assemblies. Integrative biophysical analysis and cryo‐electron microscopy reveal dynamic, heterogeneous oligomers, whereas AlphaFold modeling suggests that structural organization is ...

Temporal and Cell‐Specific Regulation of Synaptic Homeostasis by the Chromatin Remodeler Chd1

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 33, 15 June 2026.
Chd1, the Drosophila homologue of mammalian CHD2 ‐ a gene linked to autism, epilepsy, and intellectual disability, is required for synaptic homeostatic plasticity. Chd1 in glia is necessary for the rapid induction of synaptic homeostasis, whereas Chd1 in motoneurons, muscle, and glia is critical for long‐term maintenance.

Targeting Lactate and Lactylation in Cancer Metabolism and Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 35, 24 June 2026.
Lactate, once deemed a metabolic waste, emerges as a central regulator of cancer progression. This review elucidates how lactate and its epigenetic derivative, protein lactylation, orchestrate tumor metabolism, immune suppression, and therapeutic resistance.

Postsynaptic Complexin Mediates Constitutive Exocytosis of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 32, 9 June 2026.
Beyond its established presynaptic role, complexin is identified as a postsynaptic regulator of neurotransmitter receptor trafficking. By promoting constitutive and activity‐dependent exocytosis of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, complexin controls spontaneous synaptic signaling at the C.

Interaction Between Actin and Microtubules During Plant Development

Cytoskeleton, Volume 83, Issue 6, Page 328-336, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The dynamic interaction between actin filaments (AFs) and microtubules (MTs) plays a crucial role in regulating key developmental and physiological processes in plant cells, particularly in the formation of specialized cell types with distinct shapes and functions, such as pollen tubes, trichomes, and leaf epidermal cells.

Making Two out of One: Kinesin Motors Driving Plant Cell Division

Cytoskeleton, Volume 83, Issue 6, Page 384-393, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Kinesin superfamily of microtubule dependent motors is present in all eukaryotes. Not all of the subfamilies are represented in all kingdoms, and the ones that are do not always show conserved functions. Tight control of the cytoskeleton is essential for proper progression and completion of mitosis and cytokinesis, and key functions are ...
