The impact of local environmental differences on the phenotypic plasticity and genetic variation of Kazakhstani populations of Paeonia anomala

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Medicinal plants are highly vulnerable to overexploitation and environmental pressures, leading to a risk of extinction. Local ecological heterogeneity influences phenotypic variability and adaptive responses to stress.

Centrophilic Retrotransposons of Plant Genomes

Annual Review of Plant Biology
The centromeres of eukaryotic chromosomes are required to load CENH3/CENP-A variant nucleosomes and the kinetochore complex, which connects to spindle microtubules during cell division. Despite their conserved function, plant centromeres show rapid sequence evolution within and between species and a range of monocentric, holocentric, and ...

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 ...

Whole genome regulatory effect of MoISW2 and consequences for the evolution of the rice plant pathogenic fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

mBio
Isw2 proteins, ubiquitous across eukaryotes, exhibit a propensity for DNA binding and exert dynamic influences on local chromosome condensation in an ATP-dependent fashion, thereby modulating the accessibility of neighboring genes to transcriptional ...

Optimising the greenhouse cultivation of Lotus japonicus under dimmable LED

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
Optimisation of growth conditions for Lotus japonicus ecotypes MG‐20 and Gifu in climate‐controlled greenhouses indicated that L. japonicus produced less flowers and pods under the fluctuating light of mobile LED (location = 5) than under stationary LED (location = 9) and the effect of the light source increased under low ambient light conditions in ...

The 3D genome of Gigaspora margarita unveils stable chromatin and nucleolar organization and symbiont‐dependent genome dynamics

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2799-2817, September 2026.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread plant symbionts that enhance nutrient acquisition and influence ecosystem productivity. Previous chromosome‐level assemblies of the model species Rhizophagus irregularis revealed a two‐compartment genome architecture (active A and repressed B chromatin compartments), yet its conservation across ...

Writing Big in Plant Genomes: Advances, Challenges and Strategies for Targeted Large‐Fragment DNA Insertion

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 6506-6520, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Precise genome editing has transformed plant biology and crop improvement by enabling targeted modification of endogenous loci. Beyond gene knockout and base editing, the site‐specific insertion of exogenous DNA, particularly large DNA fragments, has become a central goal for engineering complex traits, reconstructing metabolic pathways and ...

The Dynamic Alliance of p53 and Metabolism in the Tumor Microenvironment Shapes Tumor Evolution

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 8, August 2026.
p53 is an adaptive processor positioned at the interface between metabolism and the tumor microenvironment. By integrating nutrient, mechanical, inflammatory, and redox cues while reciprocally remodeling metabolism, stromal and immune compartments, and cancer cell plasticity, WT and mutant p53 orchestrate cell competition, tumor evolution, metastasis ...

Harnessing Tumor‐Specific Transcript Diversity Uncovers a Shared Neoantigen Reservoir for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study introduces NeoAPP, a computational tool revealing that transcriptional dysregulation generates a dominant reservoir of neoantigens from tumor‐specific transcripts (TSTs) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), far exceeding those of mutational origin.

Chemokines in Alzheimer's Disease: Early Defence, Late Damage and the Impact of Sex and Infection

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 139, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemokines constitute a versatile signalling network maintaining homeostasis and glia–neuron communication in the healthy brain but become progressively dysregulated during aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD). This review examines how chemokine systems transition from tightly regulated homeostatic signals to drivers of chronic neuroinflammation
