Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 11, Page 3895-3913, November 2026.
This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...

Volatile organic compounds orchestrating microbiome‐mediated crop resilience: Prospects and challenges for sustainable agriculture

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 11, Page 3862-3864, November 2026.
Herbivory triggers the production of green leaf volatiles, and dense planting results in induces increased concentration of linalool emission in maize canopies. These volatiles activate plant‐soil feedback that enriches beneficial rhizosphere bacteria, enhancing resistance, though sometimes at a growth cost, thereby offering new avenues for sustainable

The Sweetpotato Black Rot Pathogen Ceratocystis fimbriata

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2026.
We review current knowledge of the soilborne Ceratocystis fimbriata pathogen's biology, epidemiology, virulence and management, and identify priorities for future research. ABSTRACT Black rot, caused by the soilborne fungus Ceratocystis fimbriata, is a major postharvest disease of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) worldwide.

Coordination of drought‐adaptive root growth plasticity through auxin homeostasis by the ZmSPL12–ZmYUC5 module in maize

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 4, Page 1526-1544, November 2026.
Proposed model of ZmSPL12‐mediated drought resistance through auxin regulation. Summary Climate change‐induced drought increasingly threatens global maize production. Drought‐adaptive root plasticity in maize depends on auxin signaling, yet how auxin homeostasis is dynamically tuned in response to water deficit remains unclear.

Unexpected Suppression of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Formation by Overexpression of a Key Cutin Biosynthetic Enzyme

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 5760-5773, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

Converging GWAS and Genome Editing Decrypts MsCBF8‐MsGolS2 Regulatory Module for Drought Tolerance Without Yield Penalty in Medicago sativa

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 5967-5984, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought constitutes a major abiotic stress limiting alfalfa productivity. To elucidate the genetic basis of drought tolerance, a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in alfalfa, which identified a CBF/DREB1 family transcription factor designated MsCBF8.

Unravelling Mechanisms of Acquired Drought Tolerance by Priming in Tomato Using Integrative Multi‐Omics Phenotypic Analysis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 5946-5966, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The escalating frequency and intensity of recent droughts threaten global crop production and food security. Although drought priming is crucial for plant drought resilience, the mechanisms imparting drought stress memory remain poorly understood, especially in crops such as tomato. This study elucidates the mechanisms of drought stress memory
