A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 230-245, April 2026.
Summary PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. Loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to reduced phyllotactic regularity and robustness in Arabidopsis and increased inflorescence branching in tomato. Whether these factors have similar functions in other species is not known.

Starch Synthase 3 isoforms are essential for normal starch granule initiation in wheat endosperm

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1075-1091, April 2026.
Summary Wheat grains have two distinct types of starch granules. Large, lenticular A‐type granules are formed from a single initiation per amyloplast during early grain development, while numerous small B‐type granules are initiated during later grain development.

Cannabichromene variation in hemp cultivars

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Cannabichromene (CBC) is a nonpsychoactive cannabinoid with pharmaceutical potential that is attracting significant interest for its potential therapeutic applications. However, the factors governing CBC production in Cannabis sativa remain largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate the variation in CBC accumulation within different Type

Dissecting multi‐rust resistance in wheat through genome‐wide association study, haplotype analysis, and marker validation

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Wheat is a major global staple food affected by three diseases: leaf rust (LR), stem rust (SR), and stripe rust (YR), all of which can cause substantial yield losses. Identifying genotypes with broad‐spectrum resistance to diverse pathotypes of all three rusts remains a major challenge.

Identification of stripe rust adult plant resistance genes in the hard winter wheat cultivar Baker's Ann

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is among the most destructive wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) diseases. Identifying resistance genes is crucial for the development of resistant cultivars. Baker's Ann, a hard winter wheat cultivar developed by Oklahoma State University, has shown stable adult plant resistance to stripe ...

Precision Editing of NLRS Improves Effector Recognition for Enhanced Disease Resistance

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, 18 February 2026.
Precision engineering of plant NLR immune receptors enables rational design of enhanced pathogen resistance through mismatched pairing, domain swapping, and targeted mutagenesis. These approaches achieve multi‐fold expansion in recognition breadth while minimizing autoimmunity risks and fitness penalties.

Uptake of DPYD and UGT1A1 testing in Italy and adherence to pharmacogenetic guidelines: A 5‐year perspective from an EQA provider

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 2, Page 445-456, February 2026.
Aims Pharmacogenetic implementation requires awareness of the state‐of‐the‐art practice of laboratories providing pharmacogenetic testing. This study investigated how pharmacogenetic guidelines and recommendations have been implemented over time by Italian laboratories participating in the external quality assessment (EQA) Pharmaco‐scheme established ...
