Engineering next‐generation crops through CRISPR‐mediated horizontal gene transfer

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2683-2689, March 2026.
Summary Crops increasingly face overlapping stresses such as heat, drought, salinity, and pathogens that conventional breeding or genome editing rarely overcome in combination. To address this, we propose CRISPR‐enabled horizontal gene transfer (CRISPR‐HGT) as a programmable framework that recreates the evolutionary process by which plants historically

Sodium exclusion as a key trait for maize adaptation to salinity: Relationship with photosynthetic efficiency and membrane integrity

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca
Maize is widely used for human consumption but its cultivation is hampered by salinity. Photosynthetic activity and hence, growth are adversely affected by salt stress due to salt accumulation in the plant tissues.

Extremophiles in biofuel synthesis [PDF]

Environmental Technology, 2010
The current global energy situation has demonstrated an urgent need for the development of alternative fuel sources to the continually diminishing fossil fuel reserves. Much research to address this issue focuses on the development of financially viable technologies for the production of biofuels.

Plant structural biology: Emerging technologies and future biological insights

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.
SUMMARY Plant structural biology is entering a new era. Advances in cryo‐electron microscopy, tomography, and AI‐based prediction are making it possible to study plant macromolecular machines at near‐atomic resolution, including complexes that long resisted analysis by traditional approaches.

Insights into Key Biometric, Physiological and Biochemical Markers of Magnesium (Mg) Deficiency Stress in the Halophyte Cakile maritima

Stresses
Magnesium is a key element for plant growth and development. Plant responses to Mg deficiency were well investigated, especially in glycophytes.

Bacterial sigma factors as targets for engineered or synthetic transcriptional control

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2014
Sigma (σ) factors are the predominant constituents of transcription regulation in bacteria. σ factors recruit the core RNA polymerase (RNAP) to recognize promoters with specific DNA sequences. Recently engineering of transcriptional regulators has become

Coupling Nitrogenous Organic Wastewater Treatment and Biorefinery via N‐Cycling Bacterium

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
The vast reservoir of nitrogenous organic pollutants in industrial wastewaters can serve as untapped carbon‐nitrogen resources. This study employs the newly discovered Paracoccus sp. ZQW‐1 as a versatile chassis to simultaneously achieve N‐methylpyrrolidone (NMP) wastewater depuration and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis.

Genome Sequence of the Melanin-Producing Extremophile Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. pectinolytica Strain 34melT [PDF]

, 2013
The genome of Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. pectinolytica strain 34melT, isolated from a heavily polluted river, contains several genomic islands and putative virulence genes. The identification of genes involved in resistance to different kinds of stress

An identity card for sabkha dolomite

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
An ‘identity card’ for modern sabkha dolomite from Qatar reveals its mineralogical, geochemical and microbial characteristics. This integrated dataset provides a benchmark for recognising similar dolomites in the rock record and for calibrating paleoenvironmental proxies used in climate and biosignature studies.
