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.

A transient protoplast expression system for functional gene validation in sugarcane: Focus on drought response and immune pathways

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
We developed a transient expression system for sugarcane using Guitang 42 culm, suitable for various assays such as GCaMP6‐based calcium imaging. This system revealed that ScNCED3 acts as an early drought response signal, positively regulated by ScPYL4‐12, ScOST1‐12, and ScMPK6‐11.

Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs induce mortality in the South African mealybug Delottococcus aberiae

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5184-5194, June 2026.
Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs effectively silence essential genes in the invasive citrus pest Delottococcus aberiae, leading to significant mortality through both microinjection and oral delivery. These results provide proof of concept for RNA interference‐based biopesticides as selective and sustainable tools for citrus integrated pest management.

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

The Pathogenesis‐Related Protein 4b Induced by Rice Stripe Virus Enhances Host's Antiviral Defence

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
OsPR4b is induced by RSV to inhibit viral infection via regulating RNA metabolism and cell wall reinforcement, while its knockdown modulates NAC/MYB/ERF/WRKY family genes and enhances viral accumulation. ABSTRACT Rice stripe virus (RSV) causes rice stripe disease, which poses a serious threat to rice production.

ESCRT: A Cellular Nexus of Plant Immunity and Pathogen Counter‐Strategies

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) plays multifaceted roles in plants' responses to pathogens, including regulation of the localization and fate of immune receptors and other related cellular processes. ABSTRACT The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) machinery consists of multiprotein complexes conserved ...

Role of a Synonymous Mutation at Codon 178 in P1 That Attenuates Potato Virus Y‐Induced Tobacco Vein Necrosis and Its Application for Expressing Human Interferon

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
A synonymous mutation at P1 K178 attenuates PVY virulence and abolishes tobacco vein necrosis. This attenuated vector serves as a high‐efficiency plant bioreactor for the production and purification of recombinant human interferons. ABSTRACT Plant virus‐based vectors are gaining significant attention as bioreactors for recombinant protein production ...

An antiviral jacalin‐like lectin gene contributes to nonhost resistance and host determination of potexviruses among Brassicaceae

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3283-3298, June 2026.
Summary Plant resistance influences the host range of pathogens; however, the mechanism driving this influence remains poorly understood. Brassicaceae species are not natural hosts of potexviruses, for reasons that have not yet been determined. This study investigated the molecular basis of nonhost resistance (NHR) to potexviruses in the Brassicaceae ...
