Advancing Thermotolerance in Beans: Integrating Physiology, Genomics, and Breeding for Climate Adaptation

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rising global temperatures increasingly threaten bean production and the food security of millions of people who depend on these protein‐rich legumes. Heat stress during the reproductive stages induces pollen sterility, flower abscission, and disruptions in source–sink relationships, resulting in yield losses of 30%–40% or more when critical ...

Genome‐Wide Identification of YABBY Genes in Medicago truncatula Reveals a Role for MtYAB3 in Petal Lateral Expansion

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT YABBY transcription factors are plant‐specific regulators of lateral organ development, yet their functions in legume flower morphogenesis remain poorly understood. Here, we identified seven YABBY genes in the Medicago truncatula genome and assigned them to five conserved subfamilies.

Characterizing How Community‐Level Plant Functional Traits Impact Soil Microbial Diversity

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Functional trait‐based approaches have been suggested for designing functionally diverse plant communities to influence soil microbial community structure and diversity. However, it remains unclear how species‐level plant functional traits (PFTs) and microbial associations translate to community‐level functional trait and soil ...

Harnessing exotic germplasm for red clover improvement: Tracking genomic introgression and deploying genomic selection

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is a globally important temperate forage legume. Its symbiosis with soil‐borne rhizobia enables nitrogen fixation, and its ability to produce quality forage under diverse soil conditions enhances pasture productivity, particularly during water deficits.

Dissecting genetic architecture and improving machine learning‑based genomic prediction of flowering time in Osmanthus fragrans by integrating structural variants

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Sweet osmanthus (Osmanthus fragrans), a traditional ornamental plant in China, exhibits substantial variation in autumn flowering time, which significantly affects landscape application and cultivation efficiency. Here, we performed a genome‐wide association study on 127 resequenced accessions classified into early, intermediate, and late ...

Clinical Molecular Investigation of Encephalitozoon cuniculi in Pet Rabbits: Early Detection of Potential Risk for Animal and Human Infection

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study assesses the presence, genotypes and clinical signs of E. cuniculi infection in pet rabbits in Slovenia. Molecular analysis reveals the presence of E. cuniculi DNA (Genotype I) in 14.98% rabbit urine samples, mostly in rabbits with signs of urinary tract disorders.
