Tomato plants control leaf sodium levels to limit damage by Spodoptera littoralis larvae
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3417-3427, June 2026.Summary Sodium is an essential element for animal growth and survival. Here we test the hypothesis that plants exposed to insect feeding can translocate sodium from the feeding site to other plant organs as a defense strategy against phytophagous insects, which need sodium in their diet.

Vernalization regulatory network identifies potential novel functions for genes in the HvVRN2 locus
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 4036-4053, June 2026.Summary Flowering is controlled by environmental and genetic factors. Vernalization requirement in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is determined by the allele in HvVRN1 and the presence of locus HvVRN2, which consists of two zinc‐finger and CONSTANS‐like domains (ZCCT) genes: HvVRN2a and HvVRN2b.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3885-3899, June 2026.Summary Cellular ion and pH homeostasis are crucial factors affecting and regulating metabolic reactions, protein stability, signalling and transport mechanisms. To balance intracellular ion concentrations, organisms need to constantly sense and respond to both the extracellular environment and cell compartments' requests.

Functional divergence of LhcSR and PsbS in zeaxanthin‐mediated non‐photochemical quenching
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3042-3052, June 2026.Summary To protect photosystem II from excess light, non‐photochemical quenching (NPQ) dissipates excess energy as heat. NPQ relies on trigger proteins, LhcSR in algae and PsbS in vascular plants, and the light‐regulated xanthophyll cycle, which interconverts violaxanthin and zeaxanthin through the opposite activities of violaxanthin de‐epoxidase and ...
