Climate adaptation and functional constraints drive pollen evolution in Apiales
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2574-2587, March 2026.Summary Pollen grains exhibit remarkable morphological diversity, shaped by selective pressures from environmental factors and mechanical constraints. Here, we investigate macroevolutionary patterns of pollen morphology in Apiales, an order of angiosperms with significant ecological and geographical diversity, to disentangle the roles of climate and ...

Transfer cells in Horneophyton lignieri illuminate the origin of vascular tissues in land plants
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3149-3164, March 2026.Summary Recent fossil discoveries and advances in plant phylogeny have renewed debate about the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of land plants and the evolution of its fundamental organs and tissues. We re‐investigate the vascular system of Horneophyton lignieri, an exceptionally preserved Rhynie Chert fossil central to understanding early plant ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1518-1532, March 2026.ABSTRACT Nanocarriers can improve pesticide delivery efficiency and reduce phytotoxicity, thereby supporting sustainable strategies for crop protection. Given this potential, it is essential to investigate their effects on crop physiology and development.

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 2, March/April 2026.In total, 858 Phytophthora infestans isolates were collected from 2016 to 2018, 2020 and 2021 from 10 locations in different regions of Poland. Almost 24% of the isolates were classified to five known European genotypes: EU13, EU34, EU41, EU36 and EU37, whereas 75% of the population was genotypically and phenotypically diverse.
