Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.

Let There be Light! Light as an Engine and Regulator in Synthetic Cells
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 24, 8 June 2026.Cells are out‐of‐equilibrium systems that regulate their spatiotemporal features. In biomimetic synthetic cells, light offers a unique way for energizing and regulating events in space and time. This review explores the implementation of light‐responsive tools in synthetic cells to replicate biological functions and enable new bioinspired behaviors ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1124-1142, April 2026.Abstract Marine animal forests (MAFs) are benthic ecosystems dominated by vertically structuring filter‐ and suspension‐feeders. As terrestrial forests, they are considered biodiversity hotspots, forming canopies, serving as a refuge, nursery, reproduction and feeding shelters for many species.

Linking Superoxide Production and Scavenging in Plant Development
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 2048-2068, April 2026.ABSTRACT Due to their strong oxidizing potential, rapid membrane permeability, and high reactivity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) play essential roles in plant development and stress responses. Superoxide (O2•‐) is a primary product of molecular oxygen reduction and a crucial source of hydrogen peroxide, representing a ROS species of substantial ...

OsAux1 is required for nutritropism in rice roots
The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.SUMMARY Nutritropism is a directional root growth response to nutrient gradients, and rice (Oryza sativa L.) roots show nutritropism toward sources containing ammonium. Here, we report characterization of an EMS‐mutagenized rice plant that shows a complete defect in nutritropism.

Plant Cognition—An Empirical Primer: Evidence, Implications, and Ethics
Philosophy Compass, Volume 21, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Recent advances in plant biology suggest that plants engage in complex behaviours once thought to require nervous systems. This article surveys the empirical foundations of plant cognition, covering research on goal‐directed movement, decision‐making, anticipatory behaviour, communication, phytoacoustics, and plant neurobiology.
