Journal of Plant Registrations, Volume 20, Issue 2, May/August 2026.Abstract Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield can be reduced by 30% or more when infected with frogeye leaf spot (FLS), a fungal disease caused by Cercospora sojina K. Hara. The Rcs3 quantitative trait locus (QTL) provides strong resistance to all races of C. sojina reported in the United States and Brazil.

Elucidating R‐gene‐mediated resistance to wheat dwarf virus in Triticum aestivum genotypes
Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 947-961, May 2026.This study investigates R‐gene‐mediated resistance to wheat dwarf virus (WDV) among different wheat genotypes. Following inoculation with Psammotettix alienus (leafhoppers) and the subsequent appearance of characteristic symptoms such as yellowing and dwarfing, phenotypic responses were evaluated alongside molecular analyses, including quantification ...

Recombination suppression in plant adaptation and speciation
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2061-2077, May 2026.Summary Recombination suppression is increasingly recognized as an important facilitator of genomic divergence and speciation, especially under ongoing gene flow. In plants, however, the broader evolutionary consequences and the mechanisms by which recombination suppression arises and spreads are still incompletely understood, reflecting the inherent ...

Scaling law links plant growth variation to grain yield in wheat stands
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2163-2175, May 2026.Summary Growth rate, a fundamental trait associated with plant resource use, scales with plant mass, following consistent allometric power laws shaped by biophysical constraints and natural selection captured in metabolic scaling theory (MST). Although well‐established in wild plants, MST has been overlooked in crop improvement.

GmSNAP14: a key contributor to soybean cyst nematode resistance in soybean
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2477-2494, May 2026.Summary Soybean (Glycine max) plants counteract soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) infection through an impairment of soluble N‐ethylmaleimide‐sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein (α‐SNAP) – NSF interactions and vesicular trafficking leading to cellular toxicity in response to nematode feeding.
