Functional Dissection of a Wheat NLR Protein Reveals a Minimal Active Region and Key Regulatory Sites for Immune Signalling

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
The coiled‐coil domain functions as the core signalling module of wheat NLRMoro, with residues 62–116 forming a minimal active region whose activity is fine‐tuned by intramolecular NBS and LRR regulation and key control sites. ABSTRACT Nucleotide‐binding site (NBS) leucine‐rich repeat (LRR) receptors (NLRs) are crucial for plant immunity but often come

The maize mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase kinase gene ZmMAPKKK45 is associated with multiple disease resistance

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3003-3020, March 2026.
Summary Southern leaf blight (SLB), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus, is a major foliar disease of maize (Zea mays) world‐wide. A genome‐wide association study was performed to dissect the genetic basis of SLB resistance in maize. Functional validation was performed using mutant and transgenic analyses.

Pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis exploits the lateral root regulators to induce pluripotency in maize shoots

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2974-2985, March 2026.
Summary Biotrophic plant–pathogens secrete effector molecules to redirect and exploit endogenous signaling and developmental pathways in their favor. The biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis causes galls on all aerial parts of maize. However, the responsible gall‐inducing effectors and corresponding plant signaling pathway(s) remain largely unknown.

The potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida overcomes major potato resistance through selection on standing variation at a single locus

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3039-3059, March 2026.
Summary Globodera pallida poses a major threat to potato production, with management strategies primarily relying on genetic resistance. However, increasing virulence in field populations across Western Europe raises major concerns for G. pallida control.

From bacterial predators to partners: phages in agriculture

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2729-2735, March 2026.
Summary Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, are critical players for shaping the taxonomic and functional composition of plant‐associated microbiomes. Yet, their roles in plant health remain overlooked, along with their implications for sustainable agriculture.

Risk Evaluation and Molecular Characterisation of AtNPR1 Transgenic Citrus Lines Tolerant to Citrus Greening Disease

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1223-1233, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Citrus greening disease, or Huanglongbing (HLB), has caused devastating losses to citrus production in Florida, with yields declining by over 90% since 2005. Despite extensive efforts, no sustainable solution has been widely effective. Here, transgenic ‘Hamlin’ sweet orange lines engineered to constitutively express the Arabidopsis NPR1 ...
