Conserved symbiosis‐associated genes in the cycad Encephalartos natalensis suggest co‐option for cyanobacterial symbiosis

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2168-2185, August 2026.
The heterocyst‐rich Encephalartos natalensis cyanobacterial zone in coralloid root suggests co‐option of conserved symbiosis‐associated genes. This figure was created in BioRender (BioRender.com/https://BioRender.com/n3qveqc). Summary Plant‐cyanobacterial symbioses have evolved independently at least four times across land plants, yet their underlying ...

Ectopic Expression of ScALDH21 From a Desert Moss Enhances Cotton Resistance to Verticillium Wilt via the Modulation of Jasmonates and Phenylpropanoid Pathways

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4916-4932, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biotic stresses, particularly Verticillium wilt (VW), lead to a global decline in cotton yields. Here, we demonstrate that ectopic expression of ScALDH21, a gene from the desiccation‐tolerant moss Syntrichia caninervis Mitt. and absent in angiosperms, enhances cotton's resistance to VW.

Creation of a Pseudotsuga menziesii nucellus cell suspension culture system to produce proteins involved in reproduction

Applications in Plant Sciences
Premise Cell suspension cultures of Douglas‐fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) nucellus were created to overcome phenological limitations to the in situ study of bioactive proteins within and secreted by nucellar cells.

Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5401-5420, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.

“On a tree”, “terrestrial”, or “on the rocks”? Habit diversity in the megadiverse genus Peperomia

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1373-1384, August 2026.
The plasticity of a large proportion of Peperomia species to occupy multiple types of microhabitats is not well documented due to the typically rigid categorization of habitat use. Therefore, the numerical approach presented is methodologically innovative to advance ecological data integration to provide a more realistic visualization of the habitat ...

Plants synthesize ergothioneine, showing a link to abiotic stress

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1343-1348, August 2026.
Various plants possess ergothioneine biosynthetic genes and can synthesize this antioxidant, where increased EGT levels under abiotic stress conditions indicate protective functions. Abstract Ergothioneine (EGT) is a sulphur‐containing histidine derivative and a potent antioxidant that exhibits beneficial effects on human health.

Ecological niches and biogeography of nitrogen‐fixing plants in Europe

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1349-1360, August 2026.
Despite sharing N fixation as a common trait, European legume and actinorhizal plant lineages occupy strikingly divergent ecological niches shaped by their evolutionary histories and physiological adaptations. Advanced symbiont control allows IRLC legumes to expand into northern, mesic regions, while non‐IRLC legumes are more common in Mediterranean ...

Molecular evolution of terpene synthase underlying the diversification of isoprene emission in Fagaceae

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1315-1329, August 2026.
Isoprene emission in oaks originated from convergent adaptive evolution of terpene synthases, involving a substrate shift from monoterpene to isoprene production within a Fagaceae‐specific TPS lineage. Abstract Plants emit a wide range of volatile organic compounds, among which isoprene is the most abundant and atmospherically influential. Although oak

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.
