A Novel AP2/ERF Transcription Factor Controls Trichome Initiation and Fruit Development in Cucumber

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 9, Page 5077-5093, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Trichomes, the hair‐like outgrowths of the plant epidermis, are critical for defence, reproduction and development. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing their initiation remain elusive. Here, we identified CsGL2, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, as a key integrator controlling trichome initiation and fruit development in ...

A Phytophthora effector hijacks host StKNOX3‐StHUB1/2 complex to reprogram defense gene expression via histone monoubiquitination

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
SUMMARY KNOX (KNOTTED1‐like HOMEOBOX) transcription factors regulate the expression of genes involved in plant growth, development, and immunity by specifically binding to DNA elements. Previously, we found that the Phytophthora infestans RxLR effector Pi22798 targets the potato transcription factor StKNOX3 to promote colonization.

Arabidopsis EMB2788/Npa1L1 is critical for pre‐rRNA processing, ribosome biogenesis, and embryo development

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
SUMMARY Ribosome assembly, a fundamental process for cellular functions, requires the precise processing of precursor rRNA (pre‐rRNA) into mature rRNAs, a transformation guided by ribosome biogenesis factors (RBFs). While this process is well characterized in yeast and mammals, the roles of RBFs in pre‐rRNA processing in plants remain poorly understood.

Investigating the role of cell wall invertase in ovule development in Arabidopsis thaliana

Ovule development is essential for the realization of crop yield as it determines seed number. Cell wall invertase (CWIN)-mediated sucrose metabolism and signalling is central to plant reproductive development including the formation of pollen fertility ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 9, Page 4015-4040, 1 September 2026.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Cell wall invertase is essential for ovule development through sugar signaling rather than provision of carbon

Ovule formation is essential for realizing crop yield because it determines seed number. The underlying molecular mechanism, however, remains elusive. Here, we show that cell wall invertase (CWIN) functions as a positive regulator of ovule initiation in ...
