A First Indication That Rainforest Vine Proliferation Does Not Enhance Predator–Prey Interactions on the Forest Floor

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 10, Page 1229-1241, October 2026.
Vine proliferation is a widespread consequence of tropical forest disturbance, yet its effects on ground‐level predator–prey interactions remain poorly understood. Using plasticine caterpillars deployed on the rainforest floor in north Queensland, Australia, we show that overall predation rates were unaffected by vine‐to‐tree ratio. Instead, fine‐scale

Divergent roles of ent‐kaurene oxidase paralogs in rice momilactone biosynthesis

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 3776-3789, October 2026.
Rice contains a five‐gene tandem array of genes encoding members of the ent‐kaurene oxidase (KO) family, with OsKOL4 and OsKOL5 playing divergent roles in momilactone metabolism, but both acting in the production of antifungal and antibacterial phytoalexins, which are important for disease resistance.

Uncovering the role of the PPR protein PHOTOSYSTEM ONE BIOGENESIS FACTOR6 in splicing chloroplast group II introns

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 3809-3829, October 2026.
The P‐class pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein PHOTOSYSTEM ONE BIOGENESIS FACTOR (PBF6) forms splicing complexes with other known splicing factors to facilitate chloroplast intron splicing. PBF6 cooperates with other PPR splicing factors to promote the splicing of the same intron through forming respective splicing complexes.

Lysin Motif Effectors Facilitate the Endophytic Colonization of Wheat by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum via Modulating Plant Immunity

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Two LysM effectors of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum are essential for the endophytic colonization of wheat. SsLysM6/7 inhibit chitin‐induced immune responses and undermine wheat immunity to promote fungal growth. ABSTRACT Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic fungus that causes severe plant diseases but can also colonize wheat as a symptomless ...
