Cross‐species transcriptomics uncovers shared responses to water deficiency in plants

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Deepening our knowledge of conserved molecular mechanisms governing stress responses in plants is fundamental for identifying new core genes and processes involved in tolerance to adverse environmental conditions. For this purpose, we developed a bioinformatic pipeline to retrieve and integrate stress‐related RNA‐seq transcriptomic data from ...

Genome‐wide prediction of cloned disease resistance homologues across the Oryza genus

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract The wild relatives of rice (Oryza sativa L.) represent reservoirs of genetic diversity and potential sources of novel pest and disease resistance. The recent availability of high‐quality Oryza genome assemblies has enabled greater exploration of this diversity across the genus.

A recently evolved nonautonomous DNA transposon shapes DREB‐related DRF1 gene architecture in Triticeae

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract A nonautonomous DNA transposon was identified within the dehydration responsive factor 1 (DRF1) gene, a member of the DREB (dehydration responsive element binding) family involved in abiotic stress responses. The element was first detected in the Triticum durum TdDRF1 locus and subsequently in homologous genes from T.

Comparative genome assemblies reveal distinct allelic and structural variation at blast resistance loci in rice CT21375‐F4‐4 and Moroberekan

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, remains a major constraint to rice (Oryza sativa L.) production, and durable resistance will require broader use of genetic diversity beyond commonly studied elite cultivars. We present chromosome‐scale genome assemblies of two agronomically significant but genetically divergent rice cultivars: CT21375‐

GmCRF1‐like2 Positively Regulates Resistance to Phytophthora sojae Through XTH‐Mediated Cell Wall Remodeling

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Phytophthora root rot, caused by Phytophthora sojae, poses a significant threat to soybean (Glycine max) production worldwide. APETALA2/ethylene responsive factor (AP2/ERF) transcription factors play crucial roles in plant immune regulation, but the functions of subfamily cytokinin response factor (CRF) in soybean disease resistance remain ...

Accelerating the prioritisation of plant species with underexplored medicinal potential: The pm4mp (Phylogenetic Methods for Medicinal Plants) R package

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2061-2079, November 2026.
Medicinal plants used in ethnobotanical traditions to treat or prevent diseases have gained renewed interest for their largely untapped potential in drug discovery. In this study, we developed and tested novel methods to prioritise plant species based on their unexplored medicinal potential. By enabling researchers to target the most promising species,

Field investigation of glucosinolates and morphological traits in mitigating Psylliodes chrysocephala larval infestation through crop varieties and companion planting

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 11, Page 10716-10726, November 2026.
Genotype and cropping system influenced oilseed rape ecophysiological traits, including glucosinolate compounds (glucoraphanin, glucobrassicanapin, and butyl‐glucosinolates) and biomass, which were linked to Psylliodes chrysocephala larval infestation, with varietal effects stronger than faba bean companion planting.

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 317-355, November 2026.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Auxin‐related regulation of barley floral organ fate: genetic and phenotypic insights from tweaky spike mutants

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 3, Page 1166-1180, November 2026.
Inflorescence/floret phenotypes of tweaky spike (tw) barley (Hordeum vulgare) mutants and their respective WT backgrounds. Summary Mutant‐based research is a cornerstone for elucidating gene function in barley (Hordeum vulgare) and other cereals. In this study, we exploited a unique collection of barley tweaky spike (tw) mutants to identify the locus ...
