The Ti Plasmid‐Encoded VirJ Functions as a Lysyl‐Phosphatidylglycerol Hydrolase in Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 5, Page 426-441, May 2026.
We identify the long‐known virulence factor VirJ as a lysyl‐phosphatidylglycerol (L‐PG) hydrolase. Like the chromosomally encoded virulence factor AcvB, it prevents excessive accumulation of L‐PG in the membrane, thereby maintaining efficient T‐DNA transfer via the Type IV secretion system (T4SS) in Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

An atlas of plant selenium metabolism

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2041-2060, May 2026.
Summary Selenium (Se) is not only a rare and toxic element but also an essential micronutrient for humans and animals that is often in short supply. Terrestrial plants do not require Se, but it can have growth‐promoting or negative effects, depending on the exposure level.

Analysis of Aphanomyces euteiches in Swedish Commercial Pea Field Soils and in Legume Cover Crops Using Droplet Digital PCR

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May‐June 2026.
Workflow for investigation of Aphanomyces euteiches occurrence in 24 field soil samples collected from different regions in Sweden using droplet digital PCR and bioassays with susceptible pea cv. Linnea. ABSTRACT Aphanomyces root rot (ARR), caused by Aphanomyces euteiches, is a major constraint in pea (Pisum sativum) production.

Endophytic Biostimulant Pyrroloquinoline Quinone Enhances Banana Growth and Primes Immunity Against Fusarium Wilt

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a redox cofactor derived from prokaryotes that participates in various biological processes involving dehydrogenase enzymes. Previous field trials identified a PQQ‐producing endophyte, Burkholderia seminalis 869T2, which enhances banana growth and reduces Fusarium wilt incidence from 24.5% to 3.4%.
