The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Spot blotch (SB), caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana, is a major yield‐limiting disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the warm, humid agroclimatic zones of South Asia. The development of resistant cultivars through molecular approaches offers a sustainable strategy for managing this disease.

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Crown rust (CR), caused by Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae, is a major constraint to oat (Avena sativa L.) production in the southern United States. We dissected the genetic architecture of CR resistance and assessed genomic prediction in 234 winter and facultative oat lines adapted to the southern United States.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.

Minor epic: Notes toward a different “Anthropoetry”
Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Anthropologists have often turned to poetry as a means of accessing emotional registers of which conventional academic prose is unable to avail. In doing so, they have tacitly conflated poetry with lyric poetry, today probably the most widely practiced poetic genre, associated in particular with the expression of inner feelings and subjectival

VERNALIZATION2 alters early tiller development in a facultative spring hexaploid bread wheat
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 4022-4035, June 2026.Summary An extended period of cold exposure enables the process of vernalization in winter cereals and is important for the synchronised timing of the floral transition. The cereal‐specific floral repressor VERNALIZATION2 (VRN2) has an integral role in vernalization, yet this locus remains poorly characterised in facultative spring hexaploid wheat ...

Vernalization regulatory network identifies potential novel functions for genes in the HvVRN2 locus
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 4036-4053, June 2026.Summary Flowering is controlled by environmental and genetic factors. Vernalization requirement in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is determined by the allele in HvVRN1 and the presence of locus HvVRN2, which consists of two zinc‐finger and CONSTANS‐like domains (ZCCT) genes: HvVRN2a and HvVRN2b.
