Climate Change and African Agricultural Resilience: A 10‐Year Comprehensive Review of Adaptive Capacity, Policy, and Environmental Stewardship

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In the current era, climate change has emerged as a fundamental threat to African agriculture, driven by increasingly erratic climatic patterns such as prolonged rainfall, decadal droughts, and escalating thermal stress. This review evaluates contemporary agricultural productivity by gathering and analyzing empirical data from academic ...

The characterization of a new stabilized lactonase from the endophytic fungi Aspergillus pseudonomiae with anti‐bacterial and anti‐fungal properties

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Microorganisms use diverse small‐molecule signals to coordinate behavior, supporting interspecies and interkingdom communication. These chemical dialogs shape fundamental biological processes and define interactions from cooperation to antagonism.

TolC Is Required for a Mixed‐Linkage β‐Glucan (MLG) Biosynthesis: Engineering Bacteria for MLG Overproduction

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
TolC is identified as an essential component of the mixed‐linkage β‐glucan (MLG) biosynthetic machinery in Sinorhizobium meliloti, likely enabling polymer export. Co‐expression of tolC, bgsBA, and pleD* significantly enhances MLG production and enables its synthesis in non‐native bacterial hosts.

Bacterial Volatile Organic Compounds Mediate a Cooperative Relationship Between Bacteria and Plants Under Heavy Metal Stress

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
In this brief report, we propose a scenario in which bacterial volatile organic compound (BVOC)‐mediated communication with plants can be interpreted as a form of plant–microbe cooperation under heavy metal stress. Different VOCs are emitted depending on bacterial stress states, and VOCs from heavy metal‐stressed bacteria modulate plant defense ...

Most of the Specific Genomic Regions of Agrobacterium fabrum Shape Phenolics Content of Medicago truncatula Roots

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
Agrobacterium fabrum harbour seven specific‐gene regions, whose annotation indicates a close connection with plant. To evaluate their involvement in plant‐bacteria interaction, deletion mutant strains of each specific region were inoculated onto Medicago truncatula roots. Root phenolics content was influenced by them.
