New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 788-798, April 2026.Summary Generation of competent offspring is vital for the prosperity of flowering plants. The pistil not only functions as a conduit for pollen tubes to grow to the ovary but also provides a selective venue for facilitating the growth of compatible pollen tubes and discouraging invaders and incompatible pollen.

It is an urgent need to develop modern, environment‐friendly, and sustainable plant viral epidemic‐management strategies that are safe for both human health and the environment. The field of nanotechnology is gaining increased interest in plant science.

Convergent Evolution and De Novo Reconstitution of Apiin Biosynthesis
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2562-2575, April 2026.ABSTRACT Apiin, an active flavonoid apioside, occurs in phylogenetically distant plants, such as parsley and chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Its sporadic distribution suggests the existence of convergent apiin biosynthesis; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this convergence remain unclear.

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 897-912, April 2026.Drought stress leads to reduced nectar secretion and alters nectar composition of day‐ and night‐flowering Nicotiana species, which may impair plant–pollinator interactions. Abstract The frequencies of droughts worldwide will increase in the future due to climate changes. Nectar composition of plant species varies in relation to pollinator and can also

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 1, April 2026.SUMMARY Self‐incompatibility (SI) is the single most important mechanism utilized by flowering plants to avoid self‐fertilization, thus preventing inbreeding and promoting outcrossing. Many plant SI systems are genetically controlled by a multi‐allelic S‐locus, containing two tightly linked genes that encode the female and male S‐determinants.
