Durum Wheat cv. Svevo Reference Genome Rel.2.0: A Comprehensive Tool for Wheat Genomics
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Advancements in plant genome sequencing and assembly have enabled the production of increasingly accurate and contiguous genome sequences. Here, we present the chromosome‐level assembly of the durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum, cv. Svevo) reference genome produced using accurate long‐reads, optical mapping and Hi‐C. The new assembly

A Novel AP2/ERF Transcription Factor Controls Trichome Initiation and Fruit Development in Cucumber
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Trichomes, the hair‐like outgrowths of the plant epidermis, are critical for defence, reproduction and development. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing their initiation remain elusive. Here, we identified CsGL2, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, as a key integrator controlling trichome initiation and fruit development in ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sesame (Sesamum indicum L., 2n = 26) is one of the oldest oilseed crops and is often called the ‘queen of oilseeds’ due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidants. Despite its long history, the origin and global spread of cultivated sesame remain unresolved.

Plant 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.

Technologies for engineering repetitive DNA
Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Repetitive DNA, a fundamental architectural element of genomes, is widespread across organisms and comprises about 54% of the human genome. With advances in long‐read sequencing and bioinformatics approaches, highly repetitive sequences can now be characterized in depth.

High‐density mutation tracks are associated with proton‐beam irradiation patterns in Sorghum bicolor
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Induced mutagenesis is a cornerstone of crop functional genomics, yet the extent to which distinct radiation sources reshape the spatial distribution of mutations remains difficult to evaluate in reduced‐representation datasets. Here, we analyze a published genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) panel (192,040 loci) to compare proton‐beam and gamma ...

Molecular insights and translational opportunities to enhance heat tolerance in rice
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Heat stress is an increasingly serious threat to rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity, yet the genetic and regulatory architecture underlying thermotolerance remain poorly resolved and fragmented across studies. Earlier research focused on individual pathways or specific developmental stages; however, recent advances now support an integrated ...

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Camptothecin (CPT), a plant‐derived monoterpene indole alkaloid first identified in Camptotheca acuminata, is a drug precursor widely used for cancer chemotherapeutics. However, the full set of genes responsible for CPT biosynthesis remains unclear, hindering efforts to elucidate the complete pathway or establish biosynthetic production of CPT

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating disease that severely impacts global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. Sumai 3, a wheat cultivar widely used in breeding programs for its strong FHB resistance, has not been fully resolved at the chromosome level.

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana) is a deciduous species native to East Asia with notable ornamental and ecological value, but the genomic resources for this species remain limited. Here, we report the first haplotype‐resolved, chromosome‐scale genome of P. calleryana.
