Plant Biology, EarlyView.Pre‐treatment of grapevine plants with oregano essential oil vapour alleviates downy mildew susceptibility by accumulation of monoterpenol glycosides. Abstract Grapevine downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is a destructive disease that causes major economic losses as most elite grapevine cultivars are susceptible to this pathogen.

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Native to America, the pineapple—Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.—delighted the Europeans who came across it. The fruit was mentioned by the voyagers and missionaries who observed and tasted it in the Americas and, from the 1500s onwards, infused reports, chronicles and natural history treatises with colour and flavour.

Progress and Challenges in Faba Bean Genetic Engineering
Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Legumes are essential for global food security, serving as a vital source of plant‐based protein and playing a significant role in sustainable agricultural practices. Among legumes, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is noteworthy due to its high‐protein content, broad climate adaptation, and suitability for cultivation in temperate regions.

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.We developed a transient expression system for sugarcane using Guitang 42 culm, suitable for various assays such as GCaMP6‐based calcium imaging. This system revealed that ScNCED3 acts as an early drought response signal, positively regulated by ScPYL4‐12, ScOST1‐12, and ScMPK6‐11.

Genome Editing in Root and Tuber Crop Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Precision genome editing, particularly using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9), is advancing crop improvement by enabling targeted and efficient genetic modifications. Root and tuber crops such as potato, cassava, sweet potato, and yam are vital for global food and nutritional

Phenotypic and genetic resistance to Septoria blotch disease in European wheat varieties
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Zymoseptoria tritici, the causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch (STB), poses a critical threat to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in temperate Europe, underscoring the need for durable genetic resistance. Here, we screened 151 winter wheat varieties at the seedling stage using a mixed inoculum of five virulent isolates.

A more‐than‐human political ecology of Indonesian songbird trade
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Since its inception, conservation science has considered wildlife trade a problem. In focusing on conservation outcomes, conservationists almost completely ignore the welfare of traded animals and plants and the harms they endure. We developed a political ecology approach that incorporates the interconnectedness of people with animals and ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4361-4377, June 2026.ABSTRACT Male‐sterile systems are pivotal for maize hybrid seed production, yet existing systems are constrained by significant limitations. Here, we identified a novel single‐gene‐controlled recessive genic male sterility (GMS) mutant, defective in filament elongation 1 (def1), which exhibits non‐elongated filaments, unopened glumes, and non‐exserted ...
