Wheat's war against stripe rust: Integrating host immunity, genomics and breeding for durable resistance

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a foundation of global food security, faces persistent threats from stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). The pathogen thrives in cool and humid environments and regularly causes epidemics that lead to severe yield losses.

Genome‐wide analysis of the AP2/ERF gene family in Rheum officinale Baill.: Evolution and expression profiling during plant development, abiotic stresses, and exogenous hormone responses

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The APETALA2/ethylene‐responsive factor (AP2/ERF) superfamily plays a central role in plant metabolism, stress responses, and hormone signaling. Rheum officinale Baill. is an important traditional medicinal plant whose roots and rhizomes are rich in anthraquinones and other secondary metabolites.

Integrative genomic analyses reveal candidate genes for the Ur‐3 and Ur‐7 rust resistance loci in common bean

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Bean rust, caused by Uromyces appendiculatus, severely limits the productivity of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), an essential source of protein and micronutrients in human diets worldwide. Durable disease management relies primarily on host resistance; however, the molecular architecture of several key rust resistance loci remains ...

Pan‐NLRome analysis uncovers genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics among rice, maize and sorghum

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat (NLR) genes constitute one of the largest families of plant immune receptors and are central to crop disease resistance. Rice (Oryza sativa L.), maize (Zea mays L.), and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) are major crops underpinning global food security, and enhancing their immunity is critical for ...

Haplotype‑resolved comparison of transcription factor superfamilies between wild and cultivated autotetraploid green jujube and prioritization of candidate transcription factors via machine learning

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract A framework beyond single‐reference genomes is needed to understand transcription factor evolution. This study employed an integrated haplotype‑resolved genomes–transcriptome atlas–machine learning to characterize the transcription factors of autotetraploid green jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana).

Simultaneously Building and Reconciling a Synteny Tree

AbstractWe present FullSynesth, a tree reconciliation algorithm predicting the evolution of a set of homologous genomic regions or syntenies, inside a species tree. The considered evolutionary model involves segmental events (i.e. acting on multiple genes) including duplications (D), losses (L), synteny fissions and transfers possibly going through ...

OrthoRefine: automated enhancement of prior ortholog identification via synteny

Background Identifying orthologs continues to be an early and imperative step in genome analysis but remains a challenging problem. While synteny (conservation of gene order) has previously been used independently and in combination with other methods to

New Finnlakevirus Isolate FLiP‐2 Provides Insight Into the Ecology of ssDNA Phages in Flavobacterium Hosts

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
Despite the small genome size, ssDNA virus FLiP is remarkably well adapted to the seasonal variations of boreal fresh waters demonstrating excellent condition and host specific flexibility in its host interactions. FLiP plaques detected far from the original infection site represent a previously undescribed phenomenon, likely caused by the phage non ...
