Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

Genomic basis of Baikal sponge tissue degradation caused by a free-living Flavobacterium with host-glycan-targeting polysaccharide utilization loci

Limnology and Freshwater Biology
Here we present the complete genome sequence of the Flavobacterium sp. strain PLB03 isolated from the primmorphs cell culture of the Lubomirskia baikalensis sponge and compare it with pathogenic free-living members of the genus Flavobacterium. Strain Flavobacterium sp.

Metabolomic Analysis Reveals Structural Diversity of Pectic Polysaccharides From Prunus persica (L.) Batsch and Their Relationship With Purees Characteristics

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To clarify how pectin heterogeneity relates to puree quality, this study investigated associations among pectin fractions, metabolite profiles, and physicochemical properties of peach purees from 20 cultivars with distinct viscosity, turbidity, and colour.

Mapping of Fire Blight Resistance QTL in the European Pear (Pyrus communis L.) Cultivar ‘Petersbirne’

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The breeding of pear (Pyrus communis) cultivars that meet market requirements and are at the same time resistant to fire blight is a challenging task beacuse appropriate resistance donors are scarce. To identify valuable resistance sources, phenotypic screening and genetic characterization are indispensable.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Novel Amino Acid Changes Increase Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Output in planta

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Characterization of previously reported Arabidopsis mutants with increased aluminum (Al) resistance (alr) resulting from greater release of Al‐chelating malate identified three unique amino acid substitutions that each impacts PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE 1, a key anaplerotic carbon fixation enzyme.

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.

Complete Chloroplast Genome of Indonesian Sugarcane (Saccharum ‘Bululawang’): Comparative, Structural, and Evolutionary Analysis of Photosystem I‐Encoding Genes

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Sugarcane is one of the most important crops, providing the majority of global sugar production and serving as a major feedstock for bioenergy. Increasing demands for sustainable sugar production under climate and productivity constraint have intensified the need for molecular‐level characterization of elite cultivars.

Nutritional quality traits in pea seed: Current knowledge and opportunities for genetic improvement

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
This comprehensive review on nutritional traits in pea (Pisum sativum L.) summarizes the literature on genetic improvement of this highly nutritious and environmentally sustainable crop for different end‐uses. Abstract Pea is a major pulse crop valued for its high protein, carbohydrate, and mineral content, as well as its agronomic role in sustainable ...
