Development and characterization of near‐isogenic lines for quantitative trait locus qDT.3B.1 underlying drought tolerance in wheat

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Drought is a critical challenge to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity. The quantitative complexity of drought tolerance makes breeding for this trait difficult. Developing near‐isogenic lines (NILs) targeting quantitative trait locus (QTL) for 1000‐grain weight (TGW) under drought stress can effectively identify key mechanisms and genes.

Exploring the Antifungal Potential of the Brown Macroalga Hormophysa triquetra: Morphological Disruptions and Structural Changes in Plant Pathogens

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.

Complete Chloroplast Genomes of Ranunculus arvensis and Ranunculus laetus: Comparative Analysis and Phylogenetic Insights

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Here, we de novo assembled the chloroplast genomes of Ranunculus arvensis and Ranunculus laetus, providing comprehensive comparative analysis with 21 congeners. The genomes exhibited conserved quadripartite structures with no major rearrangements, though lineage‐specific variations in atpH position were detected in two species.

Chloroplast Phylogenomics and Barcode Discovery in Medicinal Stachys Species Reveal Evolutionary Relationships and Adaptive Signatures

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study presents the first complete chloroplast genomes of two medicinally important Stachys species, S. persica and S. germanica. Comparative phylogenomic analyses revealed highly conserved genomes with lineage‐specific variations, identified hypervariable regions as candidate DNA barcodes, and detected signatures of positive selection in the petB ...

Evaluation of Agave angustifolia as a Sustainable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides: Phytochemical Composition and Multi‐Trophic Bioactivity

open access: yesFlavour and Fragrance Journal, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 656-672, May 2026.
The pesticidal potential of Agave angustifolia by assessing its anti‐nematic, antimicrobial, and insecticidal activities, alongside phytochemical profiling. ABSTRACT Plant diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and viruses contribute significantly to annual crop losses and economic hardship. Reliance on chemical pesticides, over a thousand used

Natural Products as the Modulators of Gut Microbiota: A Pool for the Development of New Treatment Against Obesity?

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
Natural compounds regulate gut microbiota by improving microbial balance and increasing probiotics, which boost short‐chain fatty acid production to alleviate insulin resistance and inflammation. Additionally, they stimulate appetite‐suppressing hormones through bile acid signaling, while inhibiting pathogenic bacteria to repair intestinal barrier ...
