An antiviral jacalin‐like lectin gene contributes to nonhost resistance and host determination of potexviruses among Brassicaceae

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3283-3298, June 2026.
Summary Plant resistance influences the host range of pathogens; however, the mechanism driving this influence remains poorly understood. Brassicaceae species are not natural hosts of potexviruses, for reasons that have not yet been determined. This study investigated the molecular basis of nonhost resistance (NHR) to potexviruses in the Brassicaceae ...

Tomato plants control leaf sodium levels to limit damage by Spodoptera littoralis larvae

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3417-3427, June 2026.
Summary Sodium is an essential element for animal growth and survival. Here we test the hypothesis that plants exposed to insect feeding can translocate sodium from the feeding site to other plant organs as a defense strategy against phytophagous insects, which need sodium in their diet.

Ecological drivers and phylogenetic patterns of leaf minimum conductance variability in vascular plants

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3716-3731, June 2026.
Summary Stomatal closure prevents significant water losses during drought events. Yet, leaves are not perfectly hermetic and dehydration ensues through residual water losses, known as minimum conductance (gmin), which is highly relevant since it informs on the water depletion dynamics under stress.

LUCID: An Integrative Approach for Target Discovery and dsRNA Design in Plant Fungal Pathogens

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3597-3615, June 2026.
LUCID: A computational pipeline for RNAi‐based biofungicide design. ABSTRACT Phytopathogenic fungi pose an escalating threat to global food security and ecosystem stability, as resistance and environmental concerns diminish the effectiveness of conventional fungicides.

CpERF‐WRI1 Manipulates Ethylene Sensing by Regulating the Expression of CpERS1 and Fruit Ripening in Papaya

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3550-3569, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Ethylene plays a crucial role in fruit ripening and is perceived by specialised receptor proteins embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. As an ethylene antagonist, 1‐methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) binds to these receptors and delays papaya ripening, but improper use can cause ripening disorders.
