Functional Evaluation of a Conserved HNH Endonuclease Gene in Lactococcal Skunavirus Genomes

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
The HNH endonuclease HrdP is a highly conserved and essential determinant of infectivity among Skunavirus phages, specifically required for the successful completion of DNA packaging. This key role highlights HrdP as a promising and specific anti‐phage target to protect dairy starter cultures from failure.

Functional Dissection of a Wheat NLR Protein Reveals a Minimal Active Region and Key Regulatory Sites for Immune Signalling

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
The coiled‐coil domain functions as the core signalling module of wheat NLRMoro, with residues 62–116 forming a minimal active region whose activity is fine‐tuned by intramolecular NBS and LRR regulation and key control sites. ABSTRACT Nucleotide‐binding site (NBS) leucine‐rich repeat (LRR) receptors (NLRs) are crucial for plant immunity but often come

Molecular insights into volatile organic compound sensing and signaling in plants

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 6, March 2026.
SUMMARY Plants interact with their surrounding environment through the perception of a vast and structurally diverse array of volatile organic compounds (VOCs); however, the molecular mechanisms involved remain mostly unknown. Despite the large number of VOCs emitted and perceived by plants, only a small number of phylogenetically distinct, but often ...

The transformative power of structural predictions with AI in plant science

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 6, March 2026.
SUMMARY Since the introduction of various structural prediction programs, the emerging transformative power of these technologies in plant science is apparent. Not only programs like AlphaFold but also RoseTTAFold, Chai‐1 and Boltz suddenly enable plant scientists to predict structures with high confidence. This ability has facilitated the discovery of
