Nitrogen Deficiency Outperforms Water Stress in Triggering Strigolactone‐Dependent Responses in Maize

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Strigolactones (SLs) modulate multiple aspects of plant development and stress physiology. This study investigated their role in maize response to abiotic stress by comparing an SL‐biosynthesis mutant (zmccd8) with wild‐type (WT) seedlings grown for 4 weeks in vermiculite under nutrient and water limitation.

Trans-Specific Gene Silencing of Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase in a Root-Parasitic Plant

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2013
Parasitic species of the family Orobanchaceae are devastating agricultural pests in many parts of the world. The control of weedy Orobanchaceae spp. is challenging, particularly due to the highly coordinated life cycles of the parasite and host plants ...

Food and Medicine Homologous Plants in Osteoporosis: A Scoping Review of Preclinical Evidence

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Food and medicine homologous (FMH) plants and their bioactive compounds exhibit potential osteoprotective effects through multiple complementary mechanisms, including estrogen‐like signaling, attenuation of oxidative stress, modulation of the gut microbiota–bone axis, and regulation of autophagy.

Adaptive floral traits that impact stigma pollen load and seed production in Penstemon digitalis (Plantaginaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Penstemon digitalis is an early spring‐flowering species of the northwest Missouri prairie community, a period often characterized by low and unpredictable bee visitation. We conducted an experimental field study to evaluate how pollinator‐mediated pollen transfer and floral longevity interact to influence pollen acquisition and seed production.

Anthropogenic nitrogen addition interrupts seasonal connectivity and structures of plant–pollinator networks

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1878-1891, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...

Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B‐Mediated Granulosa Cell Insulin Resistance Links Metabolic Stress to Aging‐Relevant Ovarian Dysfunction and Is Reversed by Gengnianchun

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
Metabolic stress induces insulin resistance and upregulates PTP1B in granulosa cells, leading to aging‐relevant ovarian dysfunction. Gengnianchun (GNC) suppresses PTP1B, restores IRS1–AKT2–GLUT4 signaling, and preserves follicles, highlighting PTP1B as a therapeutic target for ovarian dysfunction in metabolically vulnerable states.
