Large‐flowered stapeliad Edithcolea grandis (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) is pollinated by dung‐ and blood‐feeding African face flies (Muscidae: Musca xanthomelas)

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract The more than 360 species of stem‐succulent stapeliads in the tribe Ceropegieae represent a perfect example for species radiation and diversification in response to pollination by flies. In the majority of species, the myiophilous flowers have visual and olfactory characteristics that suggest carrion or dung mimicry.

Can the Carbon Storage Function of a Degraded Mountain Wet Meadow Be Restored?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Sierra Nevada meadows experienced intense livestock grazing in the 19th century, resulting in a shift from deep‐rooted highly productive perennial clonal sedges to short‐lived and shallow‐rooted plants. The current meadow vegetation contains >20% bare ground and <10% cover of highly productive clonal sedges and rushes. We hypothesized that the

Dissecting the genetic basis of climatic adaptation in wild relatives (Malus baccata) for climate‐resilient apple breeding

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 3705-3726, October 2026.
This comprehensive map of genetic variation in wild apple (Malus baccata) and set of key genes associated with adaptation to temperature, precipitation, and soil properties establishes a foundation for breeding climate‐resilient apple cultivars and conserving the genetic resources of wild crop relatives.

Role of the tomato MARS1/ROUGH gene encoding a LYSINE‐SPECIFIC HISTONE DEMETHYLASE 1 in adventitious root and fruit skin formation

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 3644-3669, October 2026.
The tomato mars1/rough mutant displays enhanced root regeneration and rough fruits due to ectopic cell proliferation. The causal gene encodes a lysine‐specific histone demethylase that normally maintains gene silencing. Its loss alters histone methylation, upregulating several genes, including those B‐type cyclins involved in tissue‐specific cellular ...

A cytochrome P450 gene, GmSUR2a, confers submergence tolerance and improves yield in soybean by modulating auxin homeostasis

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 3628-3643, October 2026.
The key cytochrome P450 gene GmSUR2a enables soybeans to withstand destructive submergence stress. By lowering the level of the plant hormone indole‐3‐acetic acid, this gene improves soybean survival and increases field yield. It offers an important tool for breeding stress‑resilient soybeans, securing food production against extreme weather conditions.

Dodder seedlings benefit from apoplastic nutrition by inducing SWEET15‐mediated unloading of sucrose from the host's phloem

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 2, Page 829-842, October 2026.
Cuscuta reflexa infection sites. Summary Cuscuta species are holoparasitic plants that penetrate host stems with haustoria, connect to the vasculature and exhaust water, nutrients and carbohydrates. Parasite seedlings possess only limited maternal reserves and the development of a vascular connection takes several days.
