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 ...

Effect of Expanded Perlite Aggregate Size on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Ultra Lightweight Concrete Produced with Expanded Perlite Aggregate

Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering, 2019
In this study, ultra-light weight concrete (ULWC) with heat-insulating properties is produced by using different size expanded perlite aggregates and various admixtures. The compressive strength, 4 point bending strength, freezing and thawing resistance, water absorption, dry unit weight, ultra sound velocities and thermal conductivity of the samples ...

Functional Divergence of the Arg/N‐Degron Pathway Between the Crop Brassica rapa and the Model Plant Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The ubiquitin‐dependent Arg/N‐degron pathway relates the stability of a substrate protein to the nature of its N‐terminal amino acid residue or its biochemical modifications, with some N‐terminal residues being recognized by specific E3 ubiquitin ligases, resulting in the ubiquitylation and degradation of the substrate protein.

Differences in Phenylpropanoid and Reactive Oxygen Species Genes Drive Plastic and Adaptive Responses to Drought Stress Between Douglas‐Fir Varieties and Hybrids

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Warming climates bring significant challenges to the survival and growth of conifer species, yet the genomic basis of drought resistance is poorly understood. In this study, we used a common garden experiment to combine genomic, physiological and transcriptomic analysis to dissect plastic and adaptive responses to drought between Douglas‐fir ...

Wheat Yield Response to Organic Fertilisers Depends on Drought Timing in a Sandy Soil

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Organic fertilisers enhance crop drought resilience by improving nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) use efficiency and soil‐plant water relations. However, the underlying mechanisms governing their effects across different drought timings in wheat under sandy soils remain unclear.

Genome‐wide Identification and expression analysis of TOR signaling pathway components in apple in response to low nitrogen

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Target of rapamycin (TOR) is an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase that plays a central role in regulating biological growth, development, and stress responses in eukaryotes. However, the TOR signaling pathway has not been thoroughly studied in apple (Malus domestica).

Optimization of carbon and nitrogen utilization for enhanced photosynthesis, biomass and yield by coexpression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, aspartate aminotransferase and glutamine synthetase in Brassica juncea

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1110-1132, March 2026.
Summary Coexpression of genes involved in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism offers a promising avenue for improving crop yield. This study investigated the impact of coexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase [ZmPEPC (P)], aspartate aminotransferase [GmAspAT (A)] and glutamine synthetase [NtGS (G)] in Brassica juncea to enhance plant yield ...

Florigen Activation Complex Dynamics and SVP‐Mediated Repression Orchestrate Temperature‐Regulated Flowering in Saffron

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1133-1151, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Saffron, a high‐value spice cultivated worldwide for its therapeutic and culinary uses, is a sterile triploid species, rendering conventional breeding approaches ineffective. This limitation underscores the need for molecular and biotechnological strategies for its genetic improvement. Flowering, a key determinant of saffron yield, is strongly

Gas Evolution Quantitative Analysis at a Temperature of 900°C of a Cellulose Mixture Modified by Mineral Additives

Archives of Metallurgy and Materials, 2016
This article presents a gas evolution study of a novel, cellulose-based mixture with such mineral additives as expanded perlite, expanded vermiculite and microspheres. Inorganic alumina-silica binder was used to produce an uniform, bound mixture.
