The Cinderella tree, Quillaja saponaria – A soap story
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 439-451, March 2026.Our current understanding of plants has been shaped by the entwining of different cultures. The Chilean soapbark tree, traditionally valued as a source of natural soap, was shown by serendipitous research in France in the 1900s to produce compounds that can boost the immune response to vaccines.

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Single cotton boll weight (BW) and seed index (SI, 100‐seed weight) are key determinants of lint and seed yield, yet their genetic basis remains poorly understood. Here, a stable interploidy introgression line with small boll from Gossypium arboreum in Gossypium hirsutum, NB298, was employed to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) of BW and SI ...

ERECTA‐family receptor kinases: versatile regulators of plant developmental signaling [PDF]
Plant JSignificance Statement How plant cells coordinate developmental patterning remains a fundamental question in biology. This review synthesizes current knowledge of how ERECTA‐family receptors interpret spatiotemporal peptide cues to regulate diverse developmental processes, highlighting mechanisms of receptor activation, signal transduction, subcellular

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Epigenetic regulation plays a central role in coordinating peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) fruit pegging, a unique developmental process in which fertilized ovaries transition from aerial growth to subterranean pod formation. This review synthesizes current evidence demonstrating that dynamic interactions among DNA methylation, histone ...

Leaf transcriptome differences between diploid and tetraploid bahiagrass
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Polyploid individuals of the subtropical forage grass Paspalum notatum Flüggé (bahiagrass) exhibit distinct phenotypes, including apomixis, enhanced vigor, gigas effects, and increased stress tolerance. While apomixis‐based breeding programs supported by molecular tools have improved agronomic traits such as growth habit, forage dry matter ...

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract The mandarin (Citrus reticulata) variety Premier (11C017) is a gamma‐irradiated mutant hybrid derived from a cross between Murcott and Ellendale. The variety Premier exhibits favorable traits, including good fruit size and productivity similar to its progenitor variety (01C011), along with a reduced seed count compared to the progenitor. Here,
