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 ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1088-1101, September 2026.ABSTRACT Flatheaded borers (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) are largely xylophagous insects. Larvae of flatheaded borers tunnel into the trunks of trees, with boring and feeding damage eventually appearing on the surface as discolored bark, sunken areas, bark splits or bark sloughing.

Evidence for a trade‐off between growth rate and xylem embolism resistance in 22 Eucalyptus species
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2407-2426, September 2026.Examples of cross‐sectional images of branchlets at 4× and 40×. Summary Within the growth–survival trade‐off framework, embolism resistance is considered a contributor to survival, yet whether greater embolism resistance inherently limits growth remains unclear.

Summary In strawberry, the axillary bud (AXB) can produce either an elongated stem called stolon giving a daughter‐plant (asexual reproduction) or an inflorescence‐bearing branch crown (BC; sexual reproduction).

Maximum water stress is decoupled from climate, traits, and growth in a xeric oak
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2392-2406, September 2026.We sampled sites across the geographic distribution of blue oak (Quercus douglasii) in California, USA, which spans a large range of mean annual precipitation. Summary Our ability to explain and predict the spatial patterns of forest mortality remains limited.
