Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.We found that plant species identity and soil properties, especially soil phosphorus availability, independently structured arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community composition in tropical forests across central Panama. We also found that soil nutrient availability may mediate the interaction networks between plants and AMF. ABSTRACT Plant species

Causes and consequences of bacterial local adaptation via MGEs in the plant microbiome
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2215-2223, March 2026.Summary Adaptations that enable plant‐associated bacteria to fill disparate niches comprise a critical component of microbial diversity. Genes that confer locally adaptive bacterial traits, ranging from heavy metal resistance to pathogen or symbiont infectivity, often reside within mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can move between genomes.

The power of ionic movements in plants
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2232-2240, March 2026.Summary The movement of ion‐driven electrogenic events known as plant action potentials in the Venus flytrap Dionaea muscipula has first been recognized in Darwin's time. Besides electrophysiological techniques making use of current‐ and voltage‐recording electrodes, today an ever‐growing spectrum of tools has become available, that report online ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1793-1804, March 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding nitrogen (N) isotopic fractionation during plant uptake is critical for interpreting δ15N variations in terrestrial ecosystems. We investigated isotopic discrimination during ammonium (NH4+) or nitrate (NO3−) uptake in maize (Zea mays) grown hydroponically under controlled conditions with 0.2 and 2 mM to represent high and low ...

The tasiR‐ARF pathway in plants: origin, functions, and interplay of miR‐390, tasiRNAs and ARF3
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 328-344, March 2026.Trans‐acting small interfering RNAs that silence a subset of Auxin Response Factors are crucial for plant growth, developmental timing, proper organ patterning, and coping with stress. Abstract Trans‐acting small interfering RNA (tasiRNAs) are a special type of endogenous small RNAs (sRNAs) found only in plants.
