Causes and consequences of bacterial local adaptation via MGEs in the plant microbiome
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2215-2223, March 2026.Summary Adaptations that enable plant‐associated bacteria to fill disparate niches comprise a critical component of microbial diversity. Genes that confer locally adaptive bacterial traits, ranging from heavy metal resistance to pathogen or symbiont infectivity, often reside within mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can move between genomes.

The tasiR‐ARF pathway in plants: origin, functions, and interplay of miR‐390, tasiRNAs and ARF3
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 328-344, March 2026.Trans‐acting small interfering RNAs that silence a subset of Auxin Response Factors are crucial for plant growth, developmental timing, proper organ patterning, and coping with stress. Abstract Trans‐acting small interfering RNA (tasiRNAs) are a special type of endogenous small RNAs (sRNAs) found only in plants.

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 407-419, March 2026.Chemical and mechanical defences of a metal‐hyperaccumulating plant species Arabidopsis halleri were more influenced by plant accession (genetic background) and insect herbivory by a leaf beetle Phaedon cochleariae than by supplementation of the metalloid silicon.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.This study firstly identified the toxic principles of S. salsula and proposed a MaxEnt model to predict its suitable habitats and assess livestock poisoning risks under various SSP scenarios. ABSTRACT Climate change‐induced grassland degradation has exacerbated the spread of toxic plants, yet many potentially toxic species remain overlooked ...

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is one of the important legumes globally, serving as an affordable and valuable protein source for humans and livestock. However, selecting the most suitable genotype across diverse environmental conditions remains a major challenge due to significant genotype‐by‐environment interactions (GEI). In addition, the

Communication and signal exchange in the Rhizobium bradyrhizobium legume system [PDF]
, 1994 A new comprehensive communication concept in the Rhizobium/Bradyrhizobium legume symbiosis was developed. It includes a root zone specific flavonoid exudation, the differential activity of phenylpropane/acetate pathway derivatives on chemotaxis, nod-gene

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is a key crop for sustainable agriculture in temperate cropping systems due to its nitrogen‐fixing ability and high protein content, but its productivity is increasingly threatened by drought stress driven by climate change.
