Single Cell Multiomics of Hooked Potato Stolons Reveals Parallels to Shoot Apical Meristems in Arabidopsis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solanum tuberosum L. (potato) is a key food crop, with its tubers serving as an important food source worldwide. Tuber development is a tightly regulated process involving the transition of a hooked stolon (a modified stem) to a tuber following the perception of mobile signals within the stolon tip. While genes like FLOWERING LOCUS T homologue

Rewiring Steroidal Metabolic Pathways for Diosgenin Production in Solanum nigrum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diosgenin is a key starting material for the synthesis of steroidal drugs, such as corticosteroids and sex hormones. While the primary commercial source of diosgenin is the tubers of Dioscorea spp., identifying alternative plant hosts capable of diosgenin biosynthesis could enhance its production.

“Is This Edible Anyway?” The Impact of Culture on the Evolution (and Devolution) of Mushroom Knowledge

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.

Short‐term responses in weed spatial patterns during early adoption of conservation agriculture practices

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2627-2638, March 2026.
Weed spatial patterns and temporal stability were shaped by species life forms and the cropping systems implemented in the plots. Weed aggregation was more pronounced in conservation agriculture and among perennials. Patch stability was primarily governed by species life form and was stronger among perennials. Abstract BACKGROUND The aggregated spatial

Epigenetic modifications regulate peg elongation and underground fruiting in peanut in response to environmental cues

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Epigenetic regulation plays a central role in coordinating peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) fruit pegging, a unique developmental process in which fertilized ovaries transition from aerial growth to subterranean pod formation. This review synthesizes current evidence demonstrating that dynamic interactions among DNA methylation, histone ...
