Sulfadiazine selection enables high‐efficiency transformation in Nannochloropsis and Microchloropsis

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY Nannochloropsis and Microchloropsis are important as eustigmatophyte model organisms and the production of high‐value lipids. Efficient selectable markers are indispensable for genetic engineering to study and improve production yield of these species.

Characterization of phytoene synthases from cassava and their involvement in abiotic stress-mediated responses [PDF]

Planta, 2010
Abiotic stress stimuli induce the increased synthesis of abscisic acid (ABA), which is generated through the cleavage of xanthophyll precursors. To cope with the increased xanthophyll demand, maize and rice contain a third stress-induced gene copy, coding for phytoene synthase (PSY), which catalyzes the first carotenoid-specific reaction in the pathway.

Introgressed Variation in TaMYB7‐A1 Drives Graded Dormancy and Climate‐Adaptive Pre‐Harvest Sprouting Resistance in Wheat

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.
TaMYB7‐A1 directly activates TaABI5 to enhance ABA signaling and regulate ABA‐GA homeostasis, enforcing seed dormancy. Its superior allele, derived from wild einkorn introgression, harbors a MITE insertion that elevates expression and two amino acid substitutions that enhance transcriptional activity, collectively generating graded PHS resistance for ...

Thirty years of glyphosate‐resistant crops and weeds: Current situation and future prospects

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5987-6009, July 2026.
Since 1996, when the first glyphosate‐resistant crop was commercialized and the first resistant weed was reported, resistance has expanded globally. This review analyzes emergence patterns across weed species, crops, regions, resistance mechanisms, and herbicides.

Genome-Wide Analysis of the Soybean SQS_PSY Gene Family and Its Role in Defense Against Phytophthora sojae

Agronomy
The SQS_PSY family (Squalene/phytoene synthase family), with squalene synthase (SQS) and phytoene synthase (PSY) as core members, comprises enzymes that catalyze the head-to-head condensation of isoprenoid precursors.

Identification and Functional Characterization of Tomato CircRNAs Derived from Genes Involved in Fruit Pigment Accumulation

Scientific Reports, 2017
CircRNAs, a class of widespread circular RNAs produced from precursor mRNA back-splicing, have been implicated in regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes, but their biological functions in plants have not yet been elucidated.

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus: A persistent seed‐borne threat to cucurbits

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a highly stable, seed‐borne tobamovirus that threatens global cucurbit production. Its efficient mechanical and seed transmission, long‐term environmental persistence, and the spread of Clade II CGMMV isolates drive its rapid dissemination and cause severe yield losses.
