Identification and Functional Characterization of Isoflavone synthase Gene Family in Pea (Pisum sativum): The Entry Point to Pisatin Biosynthesis

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Isoflavone synthase (IFS), a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase of the CYP93C subfamily, catalyzes the conversion of flavanones into isoflavones, the first committed step in the biosynthesis of isoflavonoid phytoalexins. In pea (Pisum sativum L.), the phytoalexin pisatin plays a pivotal role in defense against pathogens.

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.

Genomic and Transcriptomic Insights Into Salinity Tolerance in Dry Pea

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Salinity is a major crop production constraint in dry pea (Pisum sativum L.), making the development of salt‐tolerant varieties essential to improve crop productivity and land‐use efficiency. The genetic mechanisms of salt tolerance in dry pea are largely unknown, and research on salt‐tolerant genes is limited.

Beyond natural variation: The era of rational design in plant immunity

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The evolutionary arms race between crops and pathogens has reached a critical impasse: pathogen adaptation consistently outpaces the development of resistant varieties through conventional breeding. This growing imbalance highlights the need to move beyond the exclusive reliance on natural variation toward more predictive and design‐oriented ...

Integrative Analysis of Abiotic Stress–Responsive Genes in Soybean Using Differential Gene Expression and Validation With Machine Learning

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing frequency and intensity of climate‐associated abiotic stresses highlight the need to better understand soybean stress‐response mechanisms. In this study, transcriptomic data from 112 soybean samples exposed to multiple abiotic stress conditions, including drought, salinity, and heavy‐metal stress, were integrated using a multi ...

FLOWERING LOCUS T Genes MtFTb1 and MtFTb2 Act Redundantly to Promote Flowering Under Long Days in Medicago truncatula

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Flowering time is a crucial agronomic trait affecting yield and plant performance in different climates and photoperiods. While the molecular pathways regulating photoperiodic flowering are well‐characterized in Arabidopsis and cereals, they remain poorly understood in many other groups of plants.

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 ...

Genome‐wide association studies reveal environment‐dependent genetic associations for plant architecture in regional soybean germplasm

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Regional soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) breeding has produced germplasm adapted to different growing seasons, but the transferability of genetic associations associated with plant architecture across populations remains unclear. We performed genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) for plant height and main stem node number in 520 soybean ...
