At the crossroads: strigolactones mediate changes in cytokinin synthesis and signalling in response to nitrogen limitation [PDF]

Strigolactones (SLs) are key regulators of shoot growth and responses to environmental stimuli. Numerous studies have indicated that nitrogen (N) limitation induces SL biosynthesis, suggesting that SLs may play a pivotal role in coordinating systemic ...

Progress and Challenges in Faba Bean Genetic Engineering

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Legumes are essential for global food security, serving as a vital source of plant‐based protein and playing a significant role in sustainable agricultural practices. Among legumes, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is noteworthy due to its high‐protein content, broad climate adaptation, and suitability for cultivation in temperate regions.

Strigolactone synthesis is ancestral in land plants, but canonical strigolactone signalling is a flowering plant innovation [PDF]

, 2019
Background Strigolactones (SLs) are an important class of carotenoid-derived signalling molecule in plants, which function both as exogenous signals in the rhizosphere and as endogenous plant hormones.

Contrasting Osmotic Stress Responses and Provenance Effects on Seed Germination and Seedling Performance in Two Andean Species

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Oreocallis grandiflora was highly drought‐sensitive, whereas Salvia corrugata recovered and showed adaptive traits. Provenance effects were strong in O. grandiflora but weak in S. corrugata. These results reveal species‐ and provenance‐dependent responses to water limitation, highlighting the importance of selecting suitable species and seed sources ...

Low-phosphate induction of plastidal stromules is dependent on strigolactones but not on the canonical strigolactone signaling component MAX2 [PDF]

, 2016
Stromules are highly dynamic protrusions of the plastids in plants. Several factors, such as drought and light conditions, influence the stromule frequency (SF) in a positive or negative way.

Influence of Cowpea Plants on Soil Bacterial Community and Soil Quality: Effects of the Rhizosphere

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata), a vital legume for suitable agriculture and food security in sub‐Saharan Africa, plays a crucial role in improving soil health through intricate plant‐microbe interactions in the rhizosphere. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the microbial interactions in the rhizosphere, focusing on soil health ...

The Biosynthesis and Functions of Flavonoids: Recent Advances From Studies Across Land Plant Diversity

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 3, June 2026.
Over the last decade there have been significant advances in genome sequencing and model species development for ferns, lycophytes, and the bryophyte lineages—mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. This has facilitated research on the biosynthesis and function of flavonoids in these non‐seed land‐plant lineages.
