Diversification and deployment of PRR and NLR immune receptors in potato

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 1, July 2026.
SUMMARY Wild relatives of potato (Solanum tuberosum) have accumulated a wide diversity of immune receptors that provide disease resistance to a multitude of pathogens. The classical resistance genes in potato generally belong to the nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat (NLRs) receptors, which are well studied and widely applied in disease resistance ...

Current Understanding of Cell‐Surface Immune Receptors for MAMPs and Plant Parasites in the Solanaceae Family

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Members of the Solanaceae family use diverse cell‐surface receptors to sense microbes and parasites, triggering immune responses that vary across species and cultivars. ABSTRACT Cell‐surface receptors play a central role in plant defence by enabling the perception of microbial signatures upon initial contact, activating immune responses and protecting ...

Multifaceted roles of BBX transcription factors: impacts on key agronomical traits and environmental resilience

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 762-787, April 2026.
Summary B‐box (BBX) proteins were initially characterized as transcription factors connecting light signaling to the regulation of flowering time and seedling photomorphogenesis. However, over the last decade, increasing evidence has shown that they integrate light and hormone signaling, modulating multiple physiological processes during plant life. In

Characterization of Expression of Drought- and Abscisic Acid-Regulated Tomato Genes in the Drought-Resistant Species Lycopersicon pennellii [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1993
A number of genes are induced by drought stress, and some of these genes are regulated by the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA). In tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), four genes have been identified and isolated that require elevated levels of endogenous ABA for expression: le4, le16, le20, and le25.

Parasitic Plant–Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
Parasitic plants devastate global agriculture through sophisticated molecular interactions with host crops. This review synthesizes current understanding of parasitic plant‐host interactions, from strigolactone‐mediated germination and haustorium formation to host defense mechanisms.

Procrustean pseudo‐landmark methods in Python to measure massive quantities of leaf shape data

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 2, March-April 2026.
Abstract Premise When examining leaf shapes that are different from one another, it can be difficult to compare both the overall leaf shape and points along the leaf margin in biologically and statistically meaningful ways. Methods To address this problem, we present a simple and user‐friendly leaf shape analysis method in Jupyter Notebook and Python ...

Nonpreference of whitefly for oviposition in tomato genotypes

Scientia Agricola, 2002
The silverleaf whitefly is one of most important pests of tomato (Lycopersicon spp.). The use of host plant resistance to control this insect is an interesting, potentially useful technique, but in demand of more research.

Complex engineering of Solanum alkaloids structural diversity in Nicotiana benthamiana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 328-345, January 2026.
Summary Transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana offers a powerful and versatile platform for rapid production of complex specialized metabolites. Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) and steroidal saponins produced by members of the Solanaceae family are known for their diverse structures and activities including antimicrobial, anticancer, antiviral ...

The Evolutionary Dynamics of Genetic Mutational Load Throughout Tomato Domestication History

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of domestication on deleterious mutations has fascinated evolutionary biologists and breeders alike. A ‘cost of domestication’ has been reported for some organisms through accumulation of gene disruptions or radical amino acid changes.
