OsPIP2;1 impacts root hydraulic conductance and is a candidate gene for a drought avoidance QTL on rice chromosome 7

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1602-1613, August 2026.
In this study, we identified a rice plasma membrane intrinsic aquaporin (OsPIP2;1) as the candidate gene for a chromosome 7 locus driving drought avoidance, supported by established and novel physiological experiments measuring root hydraulic conductance in near isogenic and RNAi knockdown lines.

From Defense Executor to Engineering Target: Harnessing Lignin for Crop Resistance

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 39, 13 July 2026.
Lignin serves as both a physical and chemical executor of broad‐spectrum plant immunity. This review systematically summarizes classical and recent advances in lignin‐mediated immunity, outlines the multifaceted regulatory modules controlling lignification under biotic stress, discusses key physiological and biochemical mechanisms behind lignin‐based ...

The Association of Hypertension Based on Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure (SBP and DBP) With Dental Visits in the Population Aged 45 and Older: Cross‐Section Study Results From the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS)

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 7, July 2026.
There is a significant positive correlation between hypertension and dental visits among adults aged 45 and above in China. This suggests that attention should be paid to the coordinated management of cardiovascular health and oral health to prevent the mutual aggravation of chronic diseases. ABSTRACT Objective Systemic diseases increasingly complicate

Design and Testing of a Whole-Row Top-Loosening Stem-Clamping Seedling Extraction Device for Hole Tray Seedlings

Agriculture
A combined seedling extraction device was developed that operates by first top loosening and then clamping the stem in order to solve the current issues with automated transplanting technology, such as low seedling extraction efficiency and a high rate ...

Evidence That Sri Lanka Is the Origin of a Rare Nematode Resistance Gene in Rice

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Meloidogyne graminicola is a destructive and widespread pest in tropical rice‐growing systems, whereas resistance in Oryza sativa remains exceptionally rare. A major quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with resistance has previously been identified at the distal end of chromosome 11 in the resistant varieties, LD 24 (Sri Lanka) and KPM ...

Design and Tests of a Large-Opening Flexible Seedling Pick-Up Gripper with Multiple Grasping Pins

Agronomy
The pick-up gripper, as a core component of automatic transplanting systems, presents challenges in reliably grasping seedlings. In this study, a large-opening flexible seedling pick-up gripper was designed based on standard trays and seedling ...

Rhizobacteria regulate colonising Sitobion avenae aphid populations through induced host resistance and alter plant volatiles promoting early parasitoid recruitment on barley (Hordeum vulgare)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 7050-7061, July 2026.
Rhizobacterial inoculation of barley reduced Sitobion avenae populations by inducing plant resistance and modifying volatiles that attracted parasitoid wasps earlier, enhancing both bottom‐up and top‐down pest control. Abstract BACKGROUND Soil rhizobacteria can enhance crop resistance to insect herbivores and influence higher trophic interactions ...

Short communication: irrigation temperature effects on seedling growth and transplant quality of tomato, pepper and eggplant [PDF]

, 2008
During production of plug transplants, high plant density and small cell size increases seedling height. The resulting tall, weak-stemmed, plants are difficult to transplant and can be easily damaged.

The litter C/N ratio governs the dual role of ectomycorrhizal fungi in decomposition and plant nutrition absorption

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2190-2202, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EcMF) modulate litter decomposition and facilitate nutrient acquisition through the soil–mycorrhiza–plant pathway. Although litter chemistry has been considered an important factor affecting litter decomposition, how it regulates EcMF‐induced ...
