FLOWERING LOCUS T Genes MtFTb1 and MtFTb2 Act Redundantly to Promote Flowering Under Long Days in Medicago truncatula

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Flowering time is a crucial agronomic trait affecting yield and plant performance in different climates and photoperiods. While the molecular pathways regulating photoperiodic flowering are well‐characterized in Arabidopsis and cereals, they remain poorly understood in many other groups of plants.

Grass Clippings Mulching Improves Infiltrability of Low-Permeability Dryland Soils

Air, Soil and Water Research
In arid and semiarid regions, the high compactness and poor water permeability of the soils severely limit agricultural production. This study aims to shed light on techniques to enhance the permeability of these soils—specifically, by improving soil ...

Root-Zone Bacterial Diversity in Field-Grown Individual Plants from Alfalfa Lines with Wild Relatives in Their Genetic Backgrounds

Diversity
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a vitally important perennial fodder legume worldwide. Given their particular traits, alfalfa crop wild relatives (CWRs) could be used to develop cultivars that can tolerate extreme environmental and climatic conditions ...

Growing Australian Rice in Non‐Flooded Soil Increases Water Use Efficiency and Mycorrhizal Colonisation, but Reduces Grain Micronutrient Concentrations

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is driving a global shift from flooded (anaerobic) to dryland/rainfed (aerobic) rice production. While aerobic systems reduce water use and methane emissions, they can exacerbate soil zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) deficiencies due to altered redox conditions.

Transcriptomic analysis provides insights into the molecular mechanism of melatonin-mediated cadmium tolerance in Medicago sativa L.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Cadmium (Cd), a toxic element, often makes a serious threat to plant growth and development. Previous studies found that melatonin (Mel) reduced Cd accumulation and reestablished the redox balance to alleviate Cd stress in Medicago sativa L., however ...

Traversing the effects of ploidy changes in different Eragrostis curvula genotypes through high‐throughput RNA sequencing

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

Genetic diversity and population structure of jute mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) global collection to guide conservation and breeding

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Understanding the genome‐wide diversity of jute mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) is crucial for unlocking the potential of global genebank collections, enabling the discovery and use of traits that support climate resilience, improve nutrition, and increase productivity.

The influence of a cluster‐rooted species on Bossiaea linophylla (Fabaceae) under extremely phosphorus‐impoverished conditions: Phosphorus competition and altered plant–microbe interactions

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1709-1724, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phosphorus (P) limitation may intensify plant competition. However, in severely P‐impoverished soils of south‐western Australia, cluster‐rooted Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) can facilitate P acquisition of neighbouring species by mobilising tightly bound P from soil ...
