Macronutrient composition in pollen affects development and survival in wild bees

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) were reared on diets formulated with black poplar and dandelion pollen, while closely monitoring developmental metrics, lipid content and survival. Macronutrient analyses on both pollen types revealed dandelion pollen contained lower levels of protein, essential amino acids and several fatty acids, which ...

Transcript correlation analysis for the identification of novel plant genes involved in iron metabolism and beyond: what next?

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Transcript correlation analysis allowed the identification of several key nodes in the complex regulatory network of plant iron metabolism. Abstract Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant genome to be fully sequenced, almost a quarter of a century ago, thanks to The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, with contributions from scientists worldwide.

Elimination of FRDL1, a xylem‐located citrate transporter, confers tolerance to excess unchelated ferrous iron through an exclusion mechanism in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Knock‐down of a xylem‐localized citrate transporter, FRDL1, reduces foliar iron concentrations and leaf symptoms under excess ferrous iron stress in rice. Abstract Iron (Fe) toxicity is a common agricultural problem that limits rice yield in various regions of Southeast Asia and Africa.

Methodologies for Scoring Pseudomonas syringae pv. Actinidiae Floral Bud Rot and the Impact on Yield Potential in Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Flower production is a key determinant of yield in many fruit crops, including kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa). Floral development is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, with biotic stressors such as pathogens also playing a role in reproductive success.

Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus undatus) Pollination in New Zealand: A Preliminary Report on Flower Visitors, Natural Pollen Deposition, and Artificial Pollination

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

Shade‐induced transcriptional reprogramming and metabolic adaptation in contrasting soybean genotypes

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Shade stress affects soybean yield in intercropping, but the molecular basis of cultivar‐specific tolerance is unclear. We analyzed shade‐tolerant (Guru) and sensitive (Heinong 53) soybeans under 30% and 70% shade using transcriptomic, physiological, and biochemical methods.

The power of ionic movements in plants

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2232-2240, March 2026.
Summary The movement of ion‐driven electrogenic events known as plant action potentials in the Venus flytrap Dionaea muscipula has first been recognized in Darwin's time. Besides electrophysiological techniques making use of current‐ and voltage‐recording electrodes, today an ever‐growing spectrum of tools has become available, that report online ...
