Soil Moisture Regulates Hydrologic Niche Overlap in Mixed Plant Ecosystems: A Global Synthesis

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Mixed plant ecosystems (MPEs) play a crucial role in climate‐smart ecosystems by optimizing resource use and enhancing sustainability. However, ongoing climate change may exacerbate hydrologic niche overlap in MPEs by altering water availability, which could enhance interspecific water competition and undermine the sustainability of these ...

Interpretable Soil Water Retention Prediction Using Hierarchical Attention Networks With Uncertainty Quantification

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding which soil properties control water retention at different soil moisture states remains critical for predicting soil responses to management and environmental change. Traditional pedotransfer functions predict parameters of equations like van Genuchten's model, but parameter correlations create ill‐posed inverse problems that ...

One‐Pot RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a Assay With Visual Readout for the Ultra‐Specific Detection of Monkeypox Virus Clade I

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study established a rapid RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a assay for MPXV clade I detection, achieving an LOD95 of 27.16 copies/μL within 40 min. The assay exhibited no cross‐reactivity with MPXV clade II or other orthopoxviruses. Under simulated conditions, the assay detected more low‐concentration plasmid‐spiked samples than quantitative polymerase chain ...

Hsp70 diversification and repurposing across the tree of life: Lessons from the evolutionary and mechanistic trajectory of the Hsp70–Hsp110 chaperone system

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 18, Page 5541-5557, September 2026.
Evolutionary and mechanistic divergence in the Hsp70–Hsp110 chaperone system. Prokaryotic Hsp70s probably diversified into multiple orthologues that cooperated with co‐chaperones such as JDPs and NEF, forming increasingly complex proteostasis networks.

Structural T‐Cell Receptor Analysis in the Age of Machine Learning

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, Volume 342, Issue 1, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of highly accurate deep learning models for protein structure prediction has transformed the landscape of T‐cell receptor (TCR) structure data, which can now be accessed at repertoire scale. We provide a perspective on the growing field of structural TCR immunoinformatics, summarizing core principles of TCR structural biology ...

MgCBP1 Synergistically Enhances MgENG2‐Mediated Cellulose Degradation to Promote Parasitism in Meloidogyne graminicola

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
A cellulose‐binding protein (MgCBP1) and a β‐1,4‐endoglucanase (MgENG2) from Meloidogyne graminicola act synergistically. MgCBP1 binds cellulose, disrupts fibre structure and enhances MgENG2‐mediated cellulose degradation via its cellulose‐binding module. This cooperative action promotes nematode infection, providing the first evidence of CBP–cellulase

A Phytophthora effector hijacks host StKNOX3‐StHUB1/2 complex to reprogram defense gene expression via histone monoubiquitination

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
SUMMARY KNOX (KNOTTED1‐like HOMEOBOX) transcription factors regulate the expression of genes involved in plant growth, development, and immunity by specifically binding to DNA elements. Previously, we found that the Phytophthora infestans RxLR effector Pi22798 targets the potato transcription factor StKNOX3 to promote colonization.

Structural and functional characterisation of a reconstructed ancestral strigolactone receptor

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
Significance Statement Ancestral sequence reconstruction of the strigolactone receptor DWARF14 (D14) reveals that its substrate specificity and signalling mechanism have remained largely conserved in seed plants. Ancestral D14 exhibits improved recombinant yields, thermostability and catalytic activity relative to D14 from Arabidopsis thaliana ...

Hydrogen sulfide‐mediated persulfidation of ERF106 controls pear fruit aroma biosynthesis via disrupting the ERF106‐MYB21‐FAD8 complex

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 6, September 2026.
SUMMARY Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and its mediated protein persulfidation regulate fruit ripening. Fruit aroma, a key quality trait formed during ripening, largely determines consumer preferences. However, the mechanism by which H2S modulates aroma biosynthesis in pear remains unclear.
