Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins in crops: Advances in functional mechanisms and breeding applications

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 1973-2000, July 2026.
Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins coordinate nucleus‐organelle communication by modulating RNA metabolism within chloroplasts and mitochondria. This review highlights how they control critical processes like photosynthesis, seed development, fertility restoration, and stress survival in crops, and explores their potential as programmable tools for RNA ...

Population genetic analysis of the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica in German dairy cattle reveals high genetic diversity and associations with fluke size

Parasites & Vectors
Background The liver fluke Fasciola hepatica is one of the most important endoparasites in domestic ruminants worldwide and can cause considerable economic losses. This study presents the first population genetic analysis of F.

Defensin‐DNA Supramolecular Complexes as a New pH‐Sensing Nanomaterial

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
Crocodylus porosus β‐defensin 13 (CpoBD13), a host defence peptide from the saltwater crocodile, is discovered to interact with single‐ and double‐stranded DNA to form supramolecular assemblies, termed defensin‐induced spherical complexes (DISCs).

Complex History of Organellar Introgression in Nothofagus Trees: Chloroplast and Mitochondrial Capture Facilitated by Natural Selection

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Field photograph of an ancient Nothofagus tree covered with epiphytic lichens in the Patagonian temperate rainforest. This genus serves as a key model for investigating organellar introgression and evolutionary genomics in South America. ABSTRACT Hybridization is widespread across diverse groups of organisms, and in some cases, organellar genomes of ...

Insights Into Tribal‐Level Adaptive Evolution and Phylogeny in Soricinae From Mitogenome of the Chinese Endemic Sorex cansulus

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study reveals that natural selection is the main force shaping the mitochondrial protein‐coding genes of zokors, with all five populations exhibiting strong purifying selection. Phylogenetic analysis and divergence time estimation strongly support the monophyly of the subfamily Soricinae, leading to key taxonomic revisions, including the ...

Features of the nad1 3′-end and the downstream non-coding region, mapped on the Ixodida phylogeny. [PDF]

, 2012
(A) Ixodida Bayesian tree calculated on the nucleotide sequence of the 13 mt protein-coding genes, and gene order downstream of nad1. Bayesian tree was calculated according to the GTR+I+gamma model, using 13 partitions, and all branches have a posterior ...

Under the Cover of Darkness: A Transcriptomic Exploration of Clubroot During the Night

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plasmodiophora brassicae (Phytomyxea, Rhizaria) is the etiological agent of clubroot disease, one of the most important diseases of Brassicaceae crops. Alteration of metabolism and hormone homeostasis leads to the formation of tumor‐like galls in the roots of affected plants.
