A Gain‐of‐Function Mutation in DELLA Selectively Alters Protein Interactions to Regulate Wheat Tiller Angle and Plant Height

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 6045-6064, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant architecture, especially plant height and tiller angle, plays a pivotal role in determining wheat yield. In this study, we characterize a wheat mutant termed prostrate and semidwarf 1 (prose1), exhibiting both a prostrate growth habit and semidwarfism.

MdPHYB2‐MdPIF1 Module Regulates Transcription Factors to Mediate Light‐Dependent ALA‐Induced Apple Anthocyanin Biosynthesis

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 7808-7824, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Light is a primary environmental signal that induces plant anthocyanin accumulation. The plant growth regulator 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has also been proven to effectively promote anthocyanin accumulation in apple. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unknown.

Leaf Tissue‐Specific Phosphorus Allocation Is Linked to Leaf Lifespan in Chickpea Accessions

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 7781-7793, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants strategically allocate phosphorus (P) among leaf tissues to support physiological functions. However, there is limited understanding of contrasting leaf cellular P‐allocation patterns and their physiological consequences. We quantified leaf P fractions, photosynthetic P‐use efficiency (PPUE), and P‐remobilisation efficiency (PRE) in ...

Trichomes in Plant Defence, Development and Metabolic Integration Under Environmental Stress

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8437-8453, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Among various plant defence strategies, trichomes are tiny hair‐like structures on the epidermis that aid in defence, environmental adaptation and the production of valuable secondary metabolites. This review features trichomes as frontline guards for plant survival, integrating their structural, physiological and metabolic roles in ...

Water Deficit Does Not Compromise the Resistance to Insect Herbivores in Plants Associated With Fungal Endophytes Able to Produce Bioactive Alkaloids

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8481-8496, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants growing in nature are exposed to multiple abiotic and biotic stressors that sometimes occur sequentially. We hypothesised that drought will not compromise the resistance levels to herbivores when plants are associated with Epichloë endophytes able to produce bioactive alkaloids. Lolium perenne plants without (nil) and with Epichloë LpTG‐

Effects of Atmospheric CO2 Levels on the Susceptibility of Maize to Diverse Pathogens

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8828-8850, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Rising atmospheric CO2 has significant implications for crop productivity and food security. Based on studies in C3 plants, elevated CO2 (eCO2) can shape plant‐pathogen interactions, although the outcomes are often variable. The question of how eCO2 influences immunity and disease development in C4 plants, such as the globally important cereal

Airborne Immunity: A Bacterial Volatile Primes Plant Defenses by Unlocking a Phytoalexin Biosynthetic Checkpoint

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 9070-9084, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) enable plants to perceive microbial activity prior to physical contact, yet the contribution of individual bacterial volatiles to immune signalling and disease resistance remains incompletely understood.

Agathis australis Root‐Associated Fungi Inhibit Phytophthora Pathogens In Vitro and Demonstrate Tolerance to Phosphite

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 6, November‐December 2026.
Fungal isolates isolated from kauri (Agathis australis) roots were screened for their inhibition of Phytophthora agathidicida (the pathogen responsible for kauri dieback disease) in dual cultures. We then investigated how phosphite (a chemical treatment for kauri dieback) affects the growth and antagonistic capabilities of fungal isolates that ...

Unraveling the Chemical Dialogue: The Impact of Volatiles on the Interaction Between PGPR and Verticillium dahliae in Pepper Plants

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have attracted increasing scientific interest due to their potential to enhance crop productivity and alleviate plant stress. An important trait of PGPR is the production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can play crucial roles in plant–microbe and interspecies communication.
