In and out of the mitochondrial intermembrane space

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Mitochondria are essential organelles constituted by two membranes, the outer (OMM) and inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), and two aqueous compartments, the intermembrane space (IMS) and the matrix. Although mitochondria contain their own genome, which encodes for 13 proteins in humans (8 in budding yeast), the vast majority (99%) of ...

Demonstration of the Role of Both a Ttr and a Psr Homologue Enzymes in the Respiration of Tetrathionate by an Environmental Bacterium Shewanella sp. ANA‐3

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.
Using a combination of deletion mutants' construction, phenotyping of these mutants and complementary biochemical analyses, we established that the environmental Shewanella sp. ANA‐3 is using both the tetrathionate reductase Ttr and the polysulfide reductase Psr to respire tetrathionate.

Structural analysis of the NifL‐NifA complex reveals the molecular basis of anti‐activation of nitrogen fixation gene expression in Azotobacter vinelandii

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1643-1663, March 2026.
Understanding the molecular basis of nitrogen fixation is essential for engineering bacteria that fulfill the nitrogen demand of crop plants, reducing our reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. The bacterial two‐component system comprising the anti‐activator protein (NifL) and the Nif‐specific transcriptional activator (NifA) controls the nitrogen

Unlocking nitrogen regulation: structural insights into the NifL‐NifA complex and prospects for engineered diazotrophs

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1616-1620, March 2026.
The urgent need for sustainable agriculture places biological nitrogen fixation at the forefront of current biotechnological research. Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria play crucial roles in agriculture by enhancing nutrient absorption, regulating hormonal balance, and providing reduced nitrogen to plants. Among these, diazotrophic bacteria, such as

Starch synthesis in Brachypodium distachyon endosperm occurs in dynamic, connected amyloplast compartments

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2877-2893, March 2026.
Summary The morphology of starch granules is a major determinant of the functional and nutritional properties of starch and is highly variable among cereal species. Much of this morphological variation stems from differences in the spatial and temporal patterns of starch granule initiation in amyloplasts during grain development.

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

Plant 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 ...

Risk Evaluation and Molecular Characterisation of AtNPR1 Transgenic Citrus Lines Tolerant to Citrus Greening Disease

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1223-1233, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Citrus greening disease, or Huanglongbing (HLB), has caused devastating losses to citrus production in Florida, with yields declining by over 90% since 2005. Despite extensive efforts, no sustainable solution has been widely effective. Here, transgenic ‘Hamlin’ sweet orange lines engineered to constitutively express the Arabidopsis NPR1 ...

An Ustilaginoidea virens Nuclear Effector SCRE7 Inhibits Rice Immunity via Suppressing OsLBD11/12‐Promoted Transcription of OsCPS2

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1305-1321, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Phytopathogenic fungi secrete a great number of effector proteins into various organelles of host plants and suppress plant immunity through different mechanisms. In this study, we identify SCRE7 as a unique nuclear effector that is essential for U. virens infection.

Transgene‐Free, Gene‐Edited Cavendish Bananas (Musa acuminata, AAA)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1620-1634, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Global consumer acceptance of gene‐edited food crops is increasing with new breeding technologies that can modify the genome without foreign DNA integration. Here, we report an Agrobacterium‐based system for transgene‐free, gene editing of the banana cultivar, Cavendish.

Induction of Synthetic Apomixis in Two Sorghum Hybrids Enables Seed Yield and Genotype Preservation Over Multiple Generations

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1712-1724, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Induction of apomixis, or clonal reproduction through seed, could economise commercial hybrid seed production and enable smallholder farmers to save and sow hybrid seed. Here, we demonstrate the synthetic induction of apomixis in two sorghum hybrids and show that the clonal hybrid seed can be maintained across multiple seed generations.
