The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2787-2826, August 2026.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Inhibitory Roles of Strigolactone in Axillary Bud Outgrowth in Ratoon Rice

Plants
Axillary bud outgrowth, a key factor in ratoon rice yield formation, is regulated by several phytohormone signals. The regulatory mechanism of key genes underlying ratoon buds in response to phytohormones in ratoon rice has been less reported.

Molecular recognition in plant root endosymbiosis

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY Root endosymbiosis is one of the most intimate types of plant–microbe interactions in which a symbiont is hosted within a living plant cell. In this symbiosis, nitrogen‐fixing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi support plant nutrient provisioning in exchange for carbohydrates and lipids.

The Early Response to Urea, Nitrate, or Ammonium and Iron Resupply in Tomato Roots Highlights the Induction of FER, bHLHs, UMAMITs, and MATEs

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Depending on the nitrogen (N) form available to roots, plants activate different transcriptional and metabolic pathways; this can consequently translate into differences in the composition and release of root exudates. To address the existing knowledge gap regarding the relationship between the availability of Iron (Fe) and different N forms ...

Nitrogen Deficiency Outperforms Water Stress in Triggering Strigolactone‐Dependent Responses in Maize

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Strigolactones (SLs) modulate multiple aspects of plant development and stress physiology. This study investigated their role in maize response to abiotic stress by comparing an SL‐biosynthesis mutant (zmccd8) with wild‐type (WT) seedlings grown for 4 weeks in vermiculite under nutrient and water limitation.

Structure‐informed engineering of plant–microbe interactions

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 1, July 2026.
SUMMARY This review critically evaluates how structural biology has enabled interface‐informed engineering of plant–microbe interactions, with a clear emphasis on the relative maturity of plant–pathogen research compared with symbiosis engineering. In plant immunity, atomic resolution structures of apoplastic receptors, host targets, and intracellular ...

Callose and Salicylic Acid Are Key Determinants of Strigolactone-Mediated Disease Resistance in Arabidopsis

Plants
Research has demonstrated that strigolactones (SLs) mediate plant disease resistance; however, the basal mechanism is unclear. Here, we provide key genetic evidence supporting how SLs mediate plant disease resistance.
