Temperature and Ultraviolet Radiation Influence the Skin Microbiome of Humpback Whales
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.ABSTRACT The skin microbiome of humpback whales harbours diverse microbial communities that play a crucial role in host skin protection and environmental interaction. However, studies on cetacean skin microbiomes in the Southern Hemisphere focus on feeding grounds, with limited information on microbiome dynamics at breeding grounds and during migration

Dehydration‐driven organization of metabolites into NaDES‐like assemblies in orthodox seeds
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1172-1187, August 2026.Summary Desiccation tolerance in plants, especially during orthodox seed dehydration, relies on compatible solute accumulation, complex molecular mechanisms, and intermolecular organizations that remain poorly understood. We combined metabolite profiling, mass spectrometry imaging, and electrospray and cold‐spray ionization mass spectrometry to ...

Circular RNAs in Lotus japonicus Responses to Nutrient Supply and Mesorhizobium Symbiosis
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 4823-4839, August 2026.ABSTRACT Symbiotic interactions between legumes and rhizobia enable nitrogen fixation under low nutrient conditions. The establishment and function of symbiotic interactions require coordinated changes in gene expression in both the host and the microbe. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are endogenous gene‐specific molecules that can regulate transcription and
