Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 3, May 2026.ABSTRACT This study was conducted to determine the effects of priming safflower cultivar (Askon 42) with various doses (0, 5, 10, 15 mM) of 3 different amino acids (methionine, lysine, tyrosine) against salt stress (0, 50, 100, 150 mM) in terms of investigated parameters.

Pro‐Vitamin A Biofortified Cavendish Banana: Trait Stability in the Field
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3327-3344, May 2026.ABSTRACT Vitamin A deficiency (VAD), a major global health concern, has driven efforts to develop staple crops with enhanced pro‐vitamin A (pVA) content. Delivering meaningful nutritional benefits, however, requires technologies that maintain elevated carotenoid levels under field conditions. Previous proof‐of‐concept work demonstrated that pVA content

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2826-2842, May 2026.ABSTRACT Efficient viral proliferation within the host is a critical step in pathogenicity and requires adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The replication, movement and immune evasion of many plant viruses within their hosts are associated with phase separation (PS)‐derived aggregates formed by viral components.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3201-3218, May 2026.ABSTRACT MicroRNA319 (miR319) has been demonstrated to regulate plant development and responses to stress such as drought and salt. However, its role in thermotolerance, particularly in cool season grasses, remains unclear. Here we report that miR319 plays a negative role in heat tolerance of creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera).

The 2024 European Union report on pesticide residues in food
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Under European Union legislation (Article 32, Regulation (EC) No 396/2005), the European Food Safety Authority publishes an annual report assessing pesticide residue levels in food. In 2024, 9842 samples were analysed as part of the EU‐coordinated multiannual control programme subset, of which 1.2% were found to be non‐compliant.
