Molecular Chaperone Networks in Plants: Maintaining Proteostasis and Enhancing Stress Resilience for Crop Improvement

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.

Synthesizing polyethersulphone membranes with hybrid iron/nickel nanoparticles for dyes removal: An efficient biogenesis approach

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 7, Page 3593-3617, July 2026.
Abstract Industrial wastewater contamination by azo dyes poses a significant environmental challenge. This study reports the green synthesis of bimetallic iron/nickel (Fe/Ni) nanoparticles using moringa leaf extract, which acted as both a reducing and capping agent, and their incorporation into polyethersulphone (PES) membranes to produce eco‐friendly ...

Soil Microbiota and Rhizosphere Dynamics: Ecological Mechanisms Driving Crop Stress Adaptation in Climate‐Smart Agriculture

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change‐mediated abiotic stresses limit crop performance, and plant responses are increasingly recognized as emergent properties of the coupling between soil, plants, and microbiomes rather than inherent plant characteristics. This review synthesizes mechanistic evidence from 2020 to 2025 on how rhizosphere microbiota contribute to crop

Pangenome analysis reveals the genetic mechanism underlying high‐altitude adaptation in Qinghai–Xizang (Tibet) Plateau Rhododendron

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 2166-2188, July 2026.
Pan‐genome analysis reveals that high‐altitude Rhododendron species resist alpine cold stress by rapidly sensing and engaging the chilling response pathway and genes that directly and indirectly protect the plant from UV radiation. Heritable genomic features such as long terminal repeats contribute to the adaptive diversification of Rhododendron ...
