Targeted herbicide cost requirements for adoption of See & Spray technology and ways to improve area sprayed

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Adopting targeted herbicide applications creates a dynamic problem for producers when considering the economic viability of See & Spray. Research was conducted to estimate how weed area, area sprayed, nozzle selection, sensitivity settings, crops, and regions influence potential herbicide savings with the John Deere See & Spray technology ...

Evaluating harvest aids for soybean desiccation, yield, and seed quality in the northern United States

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Application of harvest aids to desiccate soybean [Glycine Max (L.) Merr.] is one method proposed to limit harvest delays from variable fall weather patterns in the northern United States. Field research was conducted over 4 site‐years in Michigan to evaluate the effect of two preharvest desiccation timings (early, label) of the harvest aids ...

Transposable elements: Functional aspects and applications as drivers of crop innovation

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), which were once relegated to the status of genomic parasites, are today accepted as important agents of plant genome evolution and adaptation. This review integrates evidence pointing to their dual function as drivers of genetic diversity and instability, with a focus on their contribution to phenotypic innovation,

Comparative efficacy of seed biopriming and soil drenching with Bacillus altitudinis TM22 and Bacillus atrophaeus MCM61 on the suppression of Fusarium wilt of cotton

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2424-2445, March 2026.
Co‐application of Bacillus strains TM22 and MCM61 suppressed Fusarium wilt of cotton. Seed biopriming with Bacillus strains performed better than soil drenching. TM22 + MCM61 improved vegetative and physiological aspects in cotton plants. TM22 + MCM61 enhanced the activity of defense enzymes and defense gene expression.

Review of Amino Acid Foliar Application as a Stress Mitigation Strategy: Unraveling the Protective Mechanisms Against Abiotic Stress

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The foliar application of amino acids offers a promising strategy to mitigate multiple abiotic stresses—drought, salinity, heat and heavy metals—by enhancing plant physiological, biochemical and molecular responses. This review synthesises recent advances in understanding how external amino acids function as bio‐stimulants, focusing on ...

Potato dihaploids uncover diverse alleles to facilitate diploid potato breeding

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Commercial potato (Solanum tuberosum) in North America is a clonal autotetraploid crop, which complicates breeding. Efforts are underway to convert potato to a diploid inbred‐hybrid crop, allowing breeders to more quickly meet market and environmental demands.

Fine mapping and functional analysis of the candidate gene OFP17, regulating both seed and fruit sizes in cotton

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Single cotton boll weight (BW) and seed index (SI, 100‐seed weight) are key determinants of lint and seed yield, yet their genetic basis remains poorly understood. Here, a stable interploidy introgression line with small boll from Gossypium arboreum in Gossypium hirsutum, NB298, was employed to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of BW and SI ...

Using genomic selection to examine subgenome dominance and epistasis in allopolyploid strawberry

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Allopolyploids are organisms that possess multiple sets of chromosomes derived from distinct ancestral species, resulting in multiple subgenomes. Many important crops are allopolyploid, including wheat (Triticum aestivum), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), coffee (Coffea arabica), and strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa).

The maize mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase kinase gene ZmMAPKKK45 is associated with multiple disease resistance

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3003-3020, March 2026.
Summary Southern leaf blight (SLB), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus, is a major foliar disease of maize (Zea mays) world‐wide. A genome‐wide association study was performed to dissect the genetic basis of SLB resistance in maize. Functional validation was performed using mutant and transgenic analyses.

Understanding the dynamic nature of plant lipid anabolic and catabolic metabolism is key to sustainable oilseed engineering

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2196-2214, March 2026.
Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.
