Parasitic Plant–Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.Parasitic plants devastate global agriculture through sophisticated molecular interactions with host crops. This review synthesizes current understanding of parasitic plant‐host interactions, from strigolactone‐mediated germination and haustorium formation to host defense mechanisms.

Mesocotyl elongation in Digitaria sanguinalis during seedling development [PDF]
, 2016 The mesocotyl is an embryonic organ present in Poaceae that plays an important role in seedling emergence. The elongation of this first internode contributes decisively to the coleoptile reaching the soil surface.

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Identifying genomic regions linked to yield and quality is crucial for sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) improvement, but limited studies on its genome and diversity hinder breeding efforts. This study aimed to identify phenotypic variance and common quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) associated with genomic regions linked with grain yield and ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1234-1250, March 2026.ABSTRACT Vitamin B1 (VB1) plays a crucial role in sustaining plant health and enabling adaptive responses to environmental stress. The complex maize genome implies a sophisticated VB1 synthesis pathway, with the mechanisms by which VB1 benefits plants remaining elusive.

Sweet sorghum:agronomic practice for food, animal feed and fuel production in Sub-Saharan Africa [PDF]
, 2019 Sweet sorghum is a cereal that belongs to the species Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench. Although the crop is reportedly native to Africa, it is grown worldwide largely because it thrives well under wide rainfall regimes, varied day lengths, soil conditions and

Adventitious rooting declines with the vegetative to reproductive switch and involves a changed auxin homeostasis [PDF]
, 2014 Adventitious rooting, whereby roots form from non-root tissues, is critical to the forestry and horticultural industries that depend on propagating plants from cuttings. A major problem is that age of the tissue affects the ability of the cutting to form

The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 5, March 2026.Significance Statement This review synthesizes current knowledge of plant hormone transporters across five major protein superfamilies. It links structural classification to transport mechanism and substrate specificity and demonstrates that this structural perspective provides a predictive framework for understanding substrate scope, selectivity ...
