A Volatile Cue From a Specialist Herbivore Primes Gene Expression Against Biotic Stress in Tall Goldenrod (Solidago altissima L.)

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1424-1438, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Insect‐derived molecular cues can prime plant defences against herbivore attack. The genes that are sensitive to priming, and how their expression changes on the scale of days, have not been fully resolved. Moreover, priming may affect interactions with insects that are not the source of the priming cue.

Allelic Variation in Maize Malate Dehydrogenase 7 Shapes Promoter Methylation and Banded Leaf and Sheath Blight Resistance

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
In this study maize chloroplastic malate dehydrogenase7 (ZmMDH7), is identified as a Rhizoctonia solani resistance gene in maize. ZmMDH7 is regulated by transcription factor ZmWRKY44 via pathogens challenge to elevate mitochondrial ROS and SA signaling pathway.

Domestication of Tartary Buckwheat Shaped a Regulatory Module for Seedling Salt Tolerance by Targeting the Magnesium Transporter Gene FtMGT2

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.
Domestication of Tartary buckwheat is selected for a salt tolerance mechanism involving the magnesium transporter FtMGT2. Its expression is controlled by the FtAGL16‐FtMYB15L module, which is stabilized under salt stress through a competitive interaction that blocks its degradation by the E3 ligase FtBRG1, ultimately boosting Na⁺ efflux and plant ...

Non‐ Conventional Agents Enhance Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum) Defense against Aphis Gossypii, Thrips Tabaci, and Their Predators Chrysoperla Carnea and Orius Insidiosus

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A study conducted in Egypt evaluated the effectiveness of chemical and microbial agents in enhancing sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum var. annuum) defenses against major pests Aphis gossypii and Thrips tabaci and their natural predators, Chrysoperla carnea and Orius insidiosus. Five foliar treatments were tested under greenhouse conditions during

High‐Throughput Screen of NPQ in Sorghum Shows Highly Polygenic Architecture of Photoprotection

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural genetic variation in photosynthesis and photoprotection within crop germplasm represents an untapped resource for crop improvement. Sorghum bicolor (sorghum) is one of the world's most widely grown crops, yet the genetic basis of photoprotection in sorghum is not well understood.

Mutations in Components of the TREX‐2 Complex Result in Misexpression of the Kelch‐Domain F‐Box Protein KFB39 Promoter in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Arabidopsis thaliana gene At2g44130 encodes a Kelch‐like domain F‐box protein designated KFB39 and was previously shown to be specifically expressed on exposure to the oxylipin cis‐jasmone. In order to better understand the regulation of At2g44130, a forward genetic screen was carried out to identify mutants in which a promoter‐GUS fusion was ...

Leaf‐chewing but not sap‐feeding herbivores create soil legacies that shape plant resistance through trait‐mediated, guild‐specific effects in Baccharis salicifolia

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 486-500, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory can affect the soil microbiome, creating legacies that affect plant resistance, but how these effects vary by feeding guild and the plant traits involved remain underexplored. We tested how soil legacies created by a leaf‐chewing caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua)

Genomic and Effector‐Based Insights Into Austropuccinia psidii–Host Interactions Informing RNAi and Resistance Development

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Genomic and effector‐based insights into Austropuccinia psidii—host interactions are informing RNAi treatments and aiding resistance development for myrtle rust disease. ABSTRACT Austropuccinia psidii is a biotrophic basidiomycete and the causal pathogen of myrtle rust.
