Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5401-5420, August 2026.ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5497-5510, August 2026.ABSTRACT We studied near‐instantaneous temperature responses of light‐saturated photosynthesis (Asat) and the operating efficiency of photosystem II (ΦPSII) in relation to acclimation of photosynthetic biochemistry to temperature at the timescale of 1–8 days. We grew two closely related Brassica oleracea L.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5886-5903, August 2026.ABSTRACT Rising nighttime temperature (Tnight) can reduce crop yields while low Tnight may restrict plant growth and development. Despite quantifiable effects of Tnight, genetic basis underlying plant responses to Tnight remains unclear. We investigated natural variation in long‐term response of effective photosynthetic efficiency (Fq’/Fm’) to Tnight ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 6169-6187, August 2026.ABSTRACT Improving photosynthesis is proposed as a means of enhancing crop productivity. To assess whether simultaneous increases in light use‐efficiency and carbon assimilation are additive, we investigated the impact of elevated CO2 on the performance of a transgenic soybean line engineered for faster relaxation of photoprotection by overexpression ...

Size of chloroplasts in Arabidopsis mesophyll cells affects jasmonate biosynthesis
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1330-1342, August 2026.The relationship between chloroplast structure and hormone biosynthesis capacity is poorly understood. This study shows that mutants harbouring giant chloroplasts produce more jasmonic acid upon mechanical stress than wild‐type plants, suggesting that organellar architecture is a previously unrecognized factor associated with plant hormone biosynthesis

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1596-1601, August 2026.Temperature‐F0 fluorescence curves of Rhizophora mangle leaves demonstrate that Tcrit, the temperature at which F0 begins to rise, is unrelated to tissue necrosis; irreversible leaf damage starts to occur at significantly higher temperatures where fluorescence emission is maximal. Abstract Global temperatures are on the rise and may, together with more

Phycobilisomes: modular light‐harvesting systems of cyanobacteria and red algae
The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.SUMMARY Phycobilisomes (PBSs) are supramolecular pigment–protein complexes that function as the principal light‐harvesting antennae in cyanobacteria, red algae (Rhodophyta), and glaucophytes, and to a lesser extent in cryptophytes. Because the intrinsic chlorophyll‐based antennae of the photosystems absorb poorly in the green region of the spectrum ...
