Domestication‐associated reduction of methyl salicylate in tomato root and its significance for resistance to root‐knot nematode

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 414-426, October 2026.
Root volatile profiling reveals domestication‐associated variation in methyl salicylate (MeSA) accumulation in tomato. Summary Methyl salicylate (MeSA) plays diverse roles in the aerial parts of plants. By contrast, its biosynthesis and function in roots remain poorly understood.

The combination of morphogenic regulators BABY BOOM and GRF‐GIF improves maize transformation efficiency and promotes leaf regeneration

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 260-275, October 2026.
Maize regeneration via somatic embryogenesis by ectopic expression of morphogenic factors TaGRF4‐TaGIF1 and ZmBBM. Summary Transformation is an indispensable tool for plant genetics and functional genomics. Although stable transformation in maize is no longer a major obstacle, there remains a need for accessible and efficient methods for academic ...

New components in genetic regulation of age‐dependent compound leaf architecture in pea

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 2, Page 909-925, October 2026.
Compound leaf development in pea (Pisum sativum). Summary Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is a classic model for compound leaf development. Pea leaves typically consist of a proximal series of paired lateral leaflets substituted distally by filiform tendrils, and the number of lateral organ pairs increases with ontogeny.

Natural Variation in GmSL20 Improves Seed Size and Quality in Soybean

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5300-5316, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Seed size plays an important role in determining crop yield, yet the genetic mechanisms underlying the regulation of this agronomic trait remain incompletely understood in soybean. Here, we perform a genome‐wide association study mapping with seed length variations and identify a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 20, named ...

GhTTLL12 Coordinates With Transcriptional Regulators GhMML3 and GhMYB86 to Orchestrate Cotton Fibre Development Through Modulating Microtubule Dynamics

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5320-5339, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Microtubules (MTs) are crucial for cell division, growth, development and morphogenesis in plants. Cotton fibres are single‐celled trichomes that originate from the epidermal cells of the ovule, making them an excellent model for studying plant cell differentiation and rapid elongation.

A TAF10‐ERF109 Transcriptional Module Directs Flavonoid‐Based Stress Resilience and Yield Enhancement in Foxtail Millet and Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5352-5368, October 2026.
ABSTRACT To ensure sustainable agricultural production under escalating environmental constraints such as drought and salinity, innovative strategies are urgently needed. Here, we reveal in foxtail millet (Setaria italica) that transcription factors TAF10 and ERF109 form a functional complex which co‐activates the expression of key flavonoid ...

Insights Into the Origin and Local Adaptation Evolution of the Cultivated Sesame With Telomere‐to‐Telomere High‐Quality Genome

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5372-5391, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Sesame (Sesamum indicum L., 2n = 26) is one of the oldest oilseed crops and is often called the ‘queen of oilseeds’ due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidants. Despite its long history, the origin and global spread of cultivated sesame remain unresolved.

Haplotypes and Machine Learning Improve Genomic Prediction in Brassica napus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5544-5553, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Genomic selection (GS) is a crop and livestock improvement method suited for predicting complex agronomical traits, while genomic prediction (GP) is the development of GS models prior to their practical use in breeding programs. One of the challenges in GP is accounting for how complex genomic interactions, such as epistasis, affect the ...

Bark‐associated yeasts and their potential role as tree carbon sink at the treeline of the southern Andes

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 2054-2064, October 2026.
In the southern Andes, Nothofagus pumilio shows elevational decreases in the concentrations of carbon reserves which are the food of bark‐associated yeasts, suggesting that competition for carbohydrates between tree growth and bark‐associated yeasts may cause carbon shortages.
