Novel applications of the tomato microbiome: Roles and considerations for agriculture, human health, and society

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 530-555, March 2026.
Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Jasmonates enhance plants tolerance grown in Cd‐contaminated environments: A comprehensive overview

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 390-405, March 2026.
Jasmonates (JAs) enhance plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd) stress by activating antioxidant defences but may reduce Cd uptake, limiting their effectiveness for phytoremediation. This review compiles studies that evaluated the effects of JA application on plants grown in Cd‐contaminated environments. Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal and one of

Nitrogen Economy Strategies Define Distinct Functional Groups of Genotypes in a Miscanthus sinensis Progeny

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
Substantial intergenotypic variation in nitrogen uptake and recycling traits was observed in a M. sinensis progeny. This variability defined three functional groups with contrasting nitrogen‐use strategies, offering a framework for selecting ideotypes tailored to different environments while maintaining high biomass production under nitrogen‐limited ...

Combined effects of soil multi‐contamination by metals and metalloids and drought slow down the ecological restoration of a Mediterranean scrubland

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
In Mediterranean ecosystems, soil contamination by metals and metalloids and drought represent major abiotic stresses whose combined effects on plant communities remain poorly understood, hindering effective ecological restoration practices. Here we evaluated the responses of plant community and species to combined stresses during a 4‐year ecological ...
