Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Progress and Challenges in Faba Bean Genetic Engineering
Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Legumes are essential for global food security, serving as a vital source of plant‐based protein and playing a significant role in sustainable agricultural practices. Among legumes, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is noteworthy due to its high‐protein content, broad climate adaptation, and suitability for cultivation in temperate regions.

BMC Plant Biology, 2019 Background Parasitic plants engage in a complex molecular dialog with potential host plants to identify a host and overcome host defenses to initiate development of the parasitic feeding organ, the haustorium, invade host tissues, and withdraw water and ...

Disarming the Pathogen's Metabolic Weapon: A Novel Route to Durable Disease Resistance
Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.Two routes to sugar acquisition in pathogenic bacteria and corresponding ‘pathogen‐starvation’ strategies. TAL effectors activate plant SWEET transporters to promote sucrose efflux into the apoplast, which can be blocked by editing SWEET promoter effector‐binding elements to prevent TAL binding. The T3E AvrBs2 converts host UDP‐galactose into xanthosan,

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2003 Seventeen accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana inoculated with the cowpea rust fungus Uromyces vignae exhibited a variety of expressions of nonhost resistance, although infection hypha growth typically ceased before the formation of the first haustorium ...

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.This review highlights how Phytophthora sojae utilizes unconventional lineage‐specific signaling networks, including unique G protein‐coupled receptor fusions, expanded kinases, and rapidly evolving effectors, to infect soybeans. Understanding these divergent molecular paradigms reveals critical vulnerabilities in this destructive pathogen, offering ...

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a foundation of global food security, faces persistent threats from stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). The pathogen thrives in cool and humid environments and regularly causes epidemics that lead to severe yield losses.

The physiological anatomy of the haustorium of Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. (Scrophulariaceae). [PDF]
, 1992 The parasitic angiosperms are a diverse group of plants that obtain a proportion of the resources needed for growth, development and reproduction by parasitizing other flowering plants.
