14‐3‐3 proteins: Central hubs in plant development and stress adaptation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 3107-3132, August 2026.
This review highlights recent advances elucidating the important roles of 14‐3‐3 proteins in regulating phytohormone networks, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, growth‐defense trade‐offs, and evolutionary adaptations. Furthermore, it provides a forward‐looking perspective on 14‐3‐3 biology and the development of climate‐resilient smart crops under ...

Endogenous RALF peptide function is required for powdery mildew host colonization

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2073-2090, August 2026.
Model of RALF‐FER‐dependent effects on powdery mildew sporulation. Summary The receptor kinase FERONIA (FER) is a susceptibility factor for biotrophic powdery mildew fungal pathogens in Arabidopsis thaliana, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. FER is required for the perception of endogenous RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR (RALF)

Regulatory Mechanism of CsMYB1‐CsMYB82/CsbHLH48‑CsCAD4 Model for Resistance Against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in Camellia sinensis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4725-4747, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a major threat to tea cultivation; however, the molecular mechanism underlying different resistance among tea cultivars remains unclear. We identified distinct expression patterns of CsMYB82 between anthracnose‐resistant and susceptible varieties after infection with anthracnose from ...

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.

Stoichiometric mismatches between Australian showy mistletoes and their hosts: You are what you assimilate

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Ecological stoichiometry emphasizes that mismatches between the elemental composition of organisms and their resources can shape ecological interactions, evolutionary trajectories, and nutrient cycling. For hemiparasitic plants such as mistletoes, which draw water and nutrients from hosts while maintaining their own photosynthesis, such ...

Effects of Sulfated Modification on the Structural Characterization and Antioxidant Activities of Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)Haustorium Polysaccharide

Shipin gongye ke-ji
To investigate the effect of sulfated modification on the structure and function of coconut haustorium polysaccharide (CHP), three kinds of sulfated coconut haustorium polysaccharides (SCHP-2, SCHP-3, and SCHP-4) were prepared using sulfation reagents ...

Puccinia triticina Effector Pt3863 Targets and Subverts TaRLCK176 to Suppress Wheat Resistance to Leaf Rust

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
TaRLCK176 is a critical immune hub that positively modulates wheat resistance to leaf rust and is specifically targeted by the Puccinia triticina effector Pt3863. Notably, Pt3863 has evolved a sophisticated virulence strategy to simultaneously disrupt both the phosphorylation‐mediated activation and proteasomal stability of TaRLCK176, thereby impairing

Abscisic acid and the antioxidant system are involved in germination of Butia capitata seeds

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2018
Seed germination is an important step for plants without vegetative propagation and is a physiological process that begins with specific environmental cues resulting in biochemical responses. Breaking-dormancy is necessary to study germination in dormant
