Molecular Chaperone Networks in Plants: Maintaining Proteostasis and Enhancing Stress Resilience for Crop Improvement

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.

Effect of selenium hyperaccumulation on the root endophytic and rhizosphere microbiome of two Astragalus species

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Selenium hyperaccumulation has little impact on the overall microbiome diversity but rather affects interactions with key plant microbial mutualists, including rhizobia. Abstract Metal hyperaccumulation is prevalent throughout plant evolution, particularly in the legume family (Fabaceae), and acts as a presumed chemical defence against herbivory ...

Mitochondrial Genome Reduction and Accelerated Evolution in Planktonic Foraminiferans

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
The mitochondrial genomes of the eukaryotic lineage Retaria (Foraminifera and Radiolaria) show reductions in multiple gene categories, including complex I, transfer RNAs (tRNAs), ribosomal proteins, and ribosomal RNAs. In planktonic foraminifera, this reduction is even more pronounced, with the potential loss of atp and other genes.

Improvement in Microbiota Recovery Using Cas-9 Digestion of Mānuka Plastid and Mitochondrial DNA

Microbial Ecology
AbstractUnderstanding host-microbe interactions in planta is an expanding area of research. Amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene is a powerful and common method to study bacterial communities associated with plants. However, the co-amplification of mitochondrial and plastid 16S rRNA genes by universal primers impairs the sensitivity and performance

Hidden Microbiota Inhabiting in Pollen Reserves of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) From Amazonas Region Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
DNA metabarcoding of honey bee pollen reserves from Amazonas region reveals that microbial communities are strongly shaped by their ecosystem. Despite high taxonomic turnover across different habitats, these microbiomes maintain stable, essential functions for pollinator health, though they remain highly vulnerable to habitat homogenization.

Melatonin seed priming: A climate‐smart, green strategy to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2942-2975, August 2026.
This review synthesizes how melatonin seed priming preconditions seeds to enhance tolerance against diverse abiotic stresses. It highlights the underlying mechanisms and proposes an integrative roadmap of advanced molecular and breeding tools to design next‐generation, stress‐smart plants.

Lysine Biosynthesis Defines a Metabolic Checkpoint for Gibberellin‐Mediated Growth in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5343-5357, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Lysine represents a metabolic hub linking mitochondrial energy status with amino acid catabolism, yet its role in coordinating plant growth and development remains poorly characterised. The dapat mutant, which is deficient in L,L‐diaminopimelate aminotransferase (DAPAT), exhibits severe growth inhibition associated with broad metabolic ...
