Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 694-718, March 2026.
Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.

Was the evolution of faster stomata driven by increased gas exchange rates rather than increasing water use efficiency?

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2355-2371, March 2026.
Summary Following changes in light flux, photosynthesis (A) typically adjusts more quickly than stomatal conductance (gs), which is dependent on changes in stomatal aperture. Faster stomatal responses are proposed to reduce water loss and enhance growth in dynamic light environments. Stomatal opening and closing parameters were determined in a range of

Optimization of carbon and nitrogen utilization for enhanced photosynthesis, biomass and yield by coexpression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, aspartate aminotransferase and glutamine synthetase in Brassica juncea

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1110-1132, March 2026.
Summary Coexpression of genes involved in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism offers a promising avenue for improving crop yield. This study investigated the impact of coexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase [ZmPEPC (P)], aspartate aminotransferase [GmAspAT (A)] and glutamine synthetase [NtGS (G)] in Brassica juncea to enhance plant yield ...

Substrate–Genotype Interaction Influences Growth and Phytochemical Composition of Wild and Commercial Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) Microgreens

open access: yesAgronomy
Purslane is highly suitable for intensive microgreen cultivation due to its rapid growth, high germination rate, and exceptional nutritional profile, including omega-3 fatty acids, essential vitamins, and minerals.

Florigen Activation Complex Dynamics and SVP‐Mediated Repression Orchestrate Temperature‐Regulated Flowering in Saffron

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1133-1151, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Saffron, a high‐value spice cultivated worldwide for its therapeutic and culinary uses, is a sterile triploid species, rendering conventional breeding approaches ineffective. This limitation underscores the need for molecular and biotechnological strategies for its genetic improvement. Flowering, a key determinant of saffron yield, is strongly

Calmodulin‐Like Protein MfCML50 Interacts With Carveol Dehydrogenase in Medicago falcata to Regulate Cold Tolerance Through Mediating ROS Homeostasis

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1152-1165, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Low temperature triggers Ca2+ signalling and reprogramming of gene expression and metabolism in plants. However, how the Ca2+ signal is transduced to the downstream metabolic pathways remains unknown. The involvement of a cold‐induced calmodulin‐like protein, MfCML50, from Medicago falcata in regulation of cold tolerance was examined in the ...

Engineering 2‐Pyrone‐4,6‐Dicarboxylic Acid Production Reveals Metabolic Plasticity of Poplar

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1398-1413, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Woody biomass is a promising source of fermentable sugars for biofuels and bio‐based chemicals, but its industrial use is limited by the costly biorefinery process. A viable strategy to reduce costs involves enhancing both biomass processability and the generation of high‐value co‐products.

Large Variations in the Transpiration of Sorghum Canopies Under High Evaporative Demand Are Positively Related to Water Use Efficiency

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1544-1560, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Transpiration restriction under high vapour pressure deficit (VPD), measured indoors with individual plants, increases water use efficiency (WUE). However, VPD is not the only factor driving transpiration, individual plants in a field rapidly become a canopy, and reports on the transpiration restriction versus WUE are scant.
