Rhizobial motility preference in root colonization of Medicago truncatula

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 547-562, April 2026.
Summary Tunnel‐like infection thread (IT) structures support root colonization by symbiotic nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria in most legume species. These tip‐grown structures are key to directing rhizobia from root hairs to developing nodules, where they are hosted to fix nitrogen.

Symbiosis‐associated UMAMIT transporters required for establishing efficient nitrogen fixation in Medicago truncatula

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 530-546, April 2026.
Summary To address a critical gap in understanding amino acid transport in legume–Rhizobium symbiosis, we investigated the role of symbiosis‐associated USUALLY MULTIPLE ACIDS MOVE IN AND OUT TRANSPORTERS (UMAMITs) in Medicago truncatula nodulation.

A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 230-245, April 2026.
Summary PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. Loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to reduced phyllotactic regularity and robustness in Arabidopsis and increased inflorescence branching in tomato. Whether these factors have similar functions in other species is not known.

Differences in mycelial turnover and persistence of wood‐decay fungi at the microscale

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 577-590, April 2026.
Summary How long do fungal hyphae persist in the environment? And how does this differ between groups and species of fungi? Despite growing knowledge of fungal contributions to decomposition and soil carbon cycles, surprisingly little is known about the turnover of mycelia: What happens to fungal hyphae over time? And how this impacts different fungi's

Multifaceted roles of BBX transcription factors: impacts on key agronomical traits and environmental resilience

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

Greater climate change adaptation potential in populations of Quercus macrocarpa at edges of latitudinal gradient

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1313-1329, April 2026.
Summary With current climate trajectories, tree populations will encounter novel selection pressures that risk local extinction if they are unable to acclimate or adapt. Within a reciprocal transplant experiment with Quercus macrocarpa L. established across a latitudinal gradient, we asked: (1) Is there genetic variation within populations?

Wheat TaSPL13‐2B Improves Floret Fertility and Enhances Grain Number per Spikelet Through Jasmonic Acid Signalling Pathway

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2056-2075, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Floret fertility is a key determinant of grain number per spike and an important factor in cereal crop yield. However, the mechanisms by which phytohormone signalling and transcription factors coordinately regulate floret fertility and spikelet development are not well understood, especially in wheat.
