Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5401-5420, August 2026.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.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Ecological stoichiometry emphasizes that mismatches between the elemental composition of organisms and their resources can shape ecological interactions, evolutionary trajectories, and nutrient cycling. For hemiparasitic plants such as mistletoes, which draw water and nutrients from hosts while maintaining their own photosynthesis, such ...

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.

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.
