First whole genome sequence of a diploid crop wild relative of the Andean tuber “oca”: Annotation and comparative genomic analysis of Oxalis oulophora

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Oxalis oulophora, a diploid species closely related to the octoploid Andean tuber crop oca (Oxalis tuberosa), was selected for whole‐genome sequencing to aid in understanding the origins of polyploidy and domestication in oca and its relatives (crop wild relatives).

A review of non‐native scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccoidea) of Australia and the challenges in maintaining current and accurate pest lists

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Over 870 species of scale insects, also called coccoids (infraorder Coccomorpha), have been recorded from Australia. Here, we systematically review literature, databases and collections to provide a revised assessment of non‐native species to Australia, for which we confirm those species that are introduced and extant in Australia (including ...

Evolutionary Changes in Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) and Related Traits During the Diversification of Aichryson (Crassulaceae) on the Macaronesian Islands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We explore evolutionary changes in Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) and associated traits during the diversification of Aichryson (Crassulaceae) across the Macaronesian Islands. By combining field data, physiological measurements and phylogenetic analysis, we identify shifts in photosynthetic strategy linked to habitat transitions.

The architecture of resilience: a genome assembly of Myrothamnus flabellifolia sheds light on desiccation tolerance and sex determination

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 1063-1084, January 2026.
Summary Myrothamnus flabellifolia is a dioecious resurrection plant endemic to southern Africa that has become an important model for understanding desiccation tolerance. Despite its ecological and medicinal significance, genomic and transcriptomic resources for the species are limited.

Yes, we CAM! First evidence of CAM photosynthesis in a carnivorous plant

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 272-281, January 2026.
Evidence for weak, facultative CAM is reported for the first time in a carnivorous plant, i.e., in Mexican representatives of Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae). Abstract Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a photosynthetic adaptation enabling higher CO2 concentration close to Rubisco and increased water use efficiency.

Geochemical Study of Soil Trapped in Rock Cracks and Role of Plants on Soil Stability at the Peripheral Slopes of Borobudur, Central Java

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Borobudur Temple is one of the world’s Seven Wonders, and the Borobudur periphery must be preserved because the location serves as a buffer zone supporting tourism. However, areas with steep slopes are prone to landslides due to soil and slope instability.

Diversity, Structural Dynamics, Regeneration Potential, and Endemism of Moist Evergreen Afromontane Forests in Ethiopia

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The moist evergreen Afromontane forest (MEAF) in Ethiopia is characterized by unique species diversity and serves as the center of origin and diversity for Coffea arabica. A systematic review of MEAF in Ethiopia was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 protocol.

Unrolling of Syngonium podophyllum: Functional Anatomy, Morphology and Modelling of Its Peltate Leaves

Advanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 11, November 2025.
The unrolling of the peltate leaves in Syngonium podophyllum is analyzed and quantified (left‐hand side to center). These measurements serve to verify a mathematical model for leaf unrolling based on the model used in Schmidt (2007). An additional formula for obtaining a layer mismatch from a prescribed radius is derived.

Identifying and Evaluating Salt‐Tolerant Halophytes Along a Tropical Coastal Zone: Growth Response and Desalination Potential

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Littoral soils along Ghana's coastal zones, hosting diverse halophytes with multiple potential applications, contain significant salt content due to seawater influence. This study identified and explored the nutritional, ecological, and medicinal significance of these halophytes, focusing on their salt tolerance and desalination abilities ...
