The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Fruit size, shape, color, and percent fruit rot are important quality traits for breeding cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.). Image analysis can be used to measure these traits, but affordable hardware for standardized image capture and integrated user‐friendly software pipelines are lacking.

Endothelial Hydrogels Improve Microvascular Regeneration and Perfusion in Tracheal Scaffolds
The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 9, Page 3895-3906, September 2026.Insufficient vascularization remains a major barrier to successful tracheal transplantation. This study demonstrates that an endothelial hydrogel significantly enhances graft perfusion and neovessel organization compared to non‐endothelial hydrogel controls.

Engineering compact Physalis peruviana (goldenberry) to promote its potential as a global crop
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1550-1556, September 2026.Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) produces sweet, nutritionally rich berries, yet like many minor crops, is cultivated in limited geographical regions and has not been a focus of breeding programs for trait enhancement. Leveraging knowledge of plant architecture‐related traits from related species, we used CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing to generate a

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8499-8511, September 2026.Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.

Stability studies of cynaropicrin–major sesquiterpene lactone of Cynara cardunculus leaves
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8820-8830, September 2026.This study investigated its stability under high temperature and pH, mimicking agronomic extremes and under soil context. Bioassays demonstrated that degradation products exhibited higher phytotoxic activity than cynaropicrin and deacylcynaropicrin. This is the first study about cynaropicrin's stability, characterizing degradation products, and their ...
