A stage‐dependent seed defense response to explain efficient seed transmission of Xanthomonas citri pv. fuscans to common bean

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3500-3517, July 2026.
Abstract Although seed represents an important means of plant pathogen dispersion, the seed–pathogen dialogue remains largely unexplored. A multiomic approach was performed at different seed developmental stages of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) during asymptomatic colonization by Xanthomonas citri pv.

Direct Competitive Kinetic Isotope Effect Measurement Using Quantitative Whole Molecule Matrix‐Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time‐of‐Flight Mass Spectrometry

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 12, 26 June 2026.
Kinetic Isotope effect (KIE) measurements are a powerful tool to interrogate enzyme mechanisms and transition state structures. In this study, we develop a simple quantitative MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry approach to measure competitive heavy atom KIEs.

Structural Basis for Nucleobase Activation by the Adenine DNA Glycosylase MutY

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
DNA glycosylase MutY engages its adenine nucleobase substrate in a syn orientation with a catalytic Glu. X‐ray crystal structures of MutY with Glu replaced suggest that a disengaged “on hold” state with anti nucleobase orientation may explain how MutY avoids catastrophic activity at inappropriate adenines.

Nanoshell Fabrication Techniques for Probiotic Encapsulation: A Comprehensive Review

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Probiotics, beneficial microorganisms, confer numerous health benefits when administered. However, their efficacy is hindered by harsh gut conditions, including acidity, bile acids, and enzymatic degradation. To overcome these challenges, encapsulation and nanoshell technology have emerged as a pivotal strategy to enhance probiotic stability ...

Toward Efficient Cellulosic Biomass Breakdown: Enzymatic Innovation and Kinetic Insights

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 6, June 2026.
By combining a processive GH7, CBM2a, and GH3 into single enzyme, the GCG fusion protein effectively breaks down crystalline cellulose. This tri‐domain architecture reduces cellobiose inhibition at the cellulose surface allowing for the simultaneous targeting of the substrate, depolymerization, and removal of products.

A DUF3455 domain‐containing protein promotes Ustilaginoidea virens infection and functions as a plant immune elicitor

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
The fungal effector UvDUF1 from Ustilaginoidea virens not only promotes infection but also acts as a plant immunity elicitor, inducing broad‐spectrum disease resistance in rice and Nicotiana benthamiana. These results reveal its potential as a novel target for sustainable crop protection strategies.
