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

Distinct Adrenal Medulla Activity in Germ‐Free Versus Conventional Male Rats Under Acute and Chronic Stress

Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 8, August 2026.
The study investigates the influence of gut microbiota on adrenal responses to stress in male rats, comparing germ‐free (GF) and specific pathogen‐free (SPF) models. The results show that stress caused a significant increase in epinephrine production in GF rats.

Apicoplast-derived isoprenoids are essential for biosynthesis of GPI protein anchors, and consequently for egress and invasion in Plasmodium falciparum.

PLoS Pathogens
Glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors are the predominant glycoconjugate in Plasmodium parasites, enabling modified proteins to associate with biological membranes.

Natural variation in OsMYB305 downregulating cytokinin‐mediated inhibition of leaf senescence contributes to regional adaptation in rice

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1873-1888, August 2026.
Proposed regulatory model of OsMYB305 in leaf senescence. Summary Accumulating evidence has identified transcription factors (TFs) as key regulators of the onset and progression of leaf senescence. However, the regulatory role of the rice myeloblastosis (MYB) TF OsMYB305 in this process remains largely unknown.

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.

Exploring the Isoprenoid Biosynthesis Pathway’s Role in Oncogenic Viruses

Viruses
Oncogenic viruses, which are causative for some cancers, are typically acquired in youth and suppressed until older age. These malignancies account for over 10% of the cancer burden and often reprogram cellular metabolic pathways to promote their own ...

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.

A redundant isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway supports Staphylococcus aureus metabolic versatility

mBio
Isoprenoids are ubiquitous molecules that serve as fundamental building blocks for life. In bacteria, isoprenoids are precursors for carotenoid pigments, respiratory cofactors, and essential sugar carrier lipids, such as lipid II.
