Genome-wide association study reveals candidate genes controlling root system architecture in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)

Scientia Horticulturae
Although plant growth habits play a pivotal role in horticultural productivity, research has predominantly concentrated on aboveground organs, with root system architecture (RSA) frequently overlooked due to the inherent difficulty of accessing ...

Development and Release of the Munich UICC Staging Tool (MUST): Advancing UICC Staging in Real‐World Data With Insights From Pancreatic and Stomach Cancer

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 3, Page 757-767, 1 August 2026.
Accurate cancer staging is essential for cancer research and treatment evaluation. However, real‐world data often include incomplete or inconsistent UICC staging classifications. The presented Munich UICC Staging Tool (MUST) automates UICC stage derivation from TNM classifications and tumor characteristics, incorporating novel real‐world data rules to ...

A root system architecture regulator modulates OsPIN2 polar localization in rice

Nature Communications
Ideal root system architecture (RSA) is important for efficient nutrient uptake and high yield in crops. We cloned and characterized a key RSA regulatory gene, GRAVITROPISM LOSS 1 (OsGLS1), in rice (Oryza sativa L.). The gls1 mutant displays an increased

RINAMI: Residue‐attributed interpretable neural network for predicting absolute folding free energy by merging structure and sequence information

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Recent advances in de novo protein design have enabled the generation of diverse novel proteins. However, a fundamental challenge remains: even when an amino acid sequence is designed with the target structure as the most stable conformation, there is currently no reliable computational method for assessing whether the target structure is ...

Nanostructured Ti–6Al–4V Reduces Adhesion of Several Bacterial Species: An In Vitro Study

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
Alkaline etching transforms Ti–6Al–4V into nanostructured, highly hydrophilic surfaces with thicker oxide layers and selective alloy depletion. These physicochemical changes reduce early bacterial adhesion across multiple species by limiting effective nanoscale contact points, while osteoblast‐like cells retain good attachment and spreading.

Oligomerisation Drives Internal Cavity Formation and Conformational Heterogeneity in Mixed Triton X‐100/Tyloxapol Micelles

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
Surfactant oligomerisation reshapes mixed micelles beyond changes in size and shape. Molecular simulations and neutron scattering reveal that Tyloxapol promotes water‐filled internal cavities, heterogeneous conformations, and compact oblate architectures, demonstrating how oligomer design provides a route to engineer the internal structure of soft ...

Variations in Root System Architecture Responses to Meloidogyne enterolobii and Meloidogyne incognita Parasitism in Sweetpotato Genotypes

HortScience
In sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas), the emergence and development of lateral roots (LRs) is crucial for determining the root system architecture (RSA), which impacts plant establishment, storage root formation, and yield potential. This study evaluated RSA

Root hair plasticity in cereals under abiotic stress

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1684-1693, August 2026.
An integrative perspective on how to study the regulation of root hair plasticity to increase the resilience of cereals to abiotic stress. Summary Abiotic stress is a constant threat to crop growth and yield in the context of climate change. Root systems that can best adapt their architecture to environmental challenges contribute to enhanced ...

BZR1 and BES1 transcription factors mediate brassinosteroid control over root system architecture in response to nitrogen availability

Frontiers in Plant Science
Plants modify their root system architecture (RSA) in response to nitrogen (N) deficiency. The plant steroidal hormone, brassinosteroid (BR), plays important roles in root growth and development.

Subsoiling with straw return optimizes the maize root system and water productivity

Agricultural Water Management
Long-term conventional tillage exacerbates subsoil compaction, restricting root penetration and water and nutrient uptake. Although subsoiling is known to mitigate plough pan formation, the interactive effects of tillage and straw return on root system ...
