Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global food security is increasingly threatened by climate change, as rising temperatures compromise the yields of major staple crops, including wheat, rice, and maize. Enhancing plant thermotolerance has therefore become a critical priority for sustaining agricultural productivity.

Iron homeostasis in the annual and perennial stem zones of Arabis alpina
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Iron accumulates in secondary growth tissues in the perennial stem zone and is correlated with particular gene expression patterns in the perennial model plant Arabis alpina. Abstract Plants store nutrients, including the micronutrient iron, in bioavailable forms to support growth in subsequent seasons. The perennial lifestyle is preponderant in nature.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend There has been controversy about the structural (capillary) response of skeletal muscle to altered O2 status, involving decreased supply (hypoxia) or increased demand (activity). Here we demonstrate that seven days of activation of skeletal muscle by indirect electrical stimulation led to significant expansion of the capillary ...

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Rising global temperatures increasingly threaten bean production and the food security of millions of people who depend on these protein‐rich legumes. Heat stress during the reproductive stages induces pollen sterility, flower abscission, and disruptions in source–sink relationships, resulting in yield losses of 30%–40% or more when critical ...

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Neglected legume landraces represent valuable genetic resources for sustainable food systems, yet their compositional and technological properties remain poorly explored. This study comprehensively characterized the flours obtained from two Sicilian black chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) landraces, Rough Black Chickpeas (RBC) and Smooth Black ...

Molecular insights and translational opportunities to enhance heat tolerance in rice
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Heat stress is an increasingly serious threat to rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity, yet the genetic and regulatory architecture underlying thermotolerance remain poorly resolved and fragmented across studies. Earlier research focused on individual pathways or specific developmental stages; however, recent advances now support an integrated ...

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 ...
