New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2196-2214, March 2026.Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Evolution of molecular communication in the permanent Azolla symbiosis
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1666-1674, February 2026.Summary Heritable symbioses exist across eukaryotes with different degrees of intimacy. In most cases, the symbionts are obligate and require inheritance for their survival. On the host side, symbiont retention can facilitate fitness benefits. Only rarely are these symbioses interwoven to the point that host survival relies on the symbiont.

Functional characterization of NRT1/PTR FAMILY transporters: looking for a needle in a haystack
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1124-1144, February 2026.Summary NRT1/PTR FAMILY (NPF) transporters play crucial roles in plant physiology and development due to their involvement in nitrogen nutrition and their ability to transport multiple signaling molecules and metabolites. Whereas most eukaryotic and prokaryotic NPF orthologs are peptide transporters, most flowering plant NPF transport other substrates ...

Evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of male germline development in flowering plants and animals [PDF]
, 2014 Sexual reproduction is the main reproductive strategy of the overwhelming majority of eukaryotes. This suggests that the last eukaryotic common ancestor was able to reproduce sexually.

Loss of E3 ligase HvST1 function substantially increases distal crossover frequency
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1325-1341, February 2026.Summary This study characterizes the function of a grass‐specific E3 ubiquitin ligase, HvST1, in regulating synapsis and crossover (CO) formation during meiosis in barley (Hordeum vulgare). In large‐genome cereals, COs are predominantly restricted to distal chromosomal regions, limiting genetic recombination and breeding flexibility.
