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

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Tomato Roots Exhibit Development‐Specific Responses to Bacterial‐Derived Peptides
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 12, Page 8771-8787, December 2025.ABSTRACT To combat soilborne pathogens, roots activate pattern‐triggered immunity (PTI) through pattern‐recognition receptors (PRRs) that recognise microbe‐associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). Root PTI pathways can differ from their above‐ground counterparts and have been well‐characterised in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana but are not well ...

The N gene protects tomato plants from tomato brown rugose fruit virus infection
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 10, Page 4339-4349, October 2025.Summary The tobamovirus tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) has recently emerged, causing significant damage to the tomato industry in various regions worldwide, including the US. ToBRFV evades the widely used Tm‐22 resistance gene, which encodes a nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat (NLR) class immune receptor with an N‐terminal coiled‐coil ...
