Pro‐Vitamin A Biofortified Cavendish Banana: Trait Stability in the Field

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3327-3344, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Vitamin A deficiency (VAD), a major global health concern, has driven efforts to develop staple crops with enhanced pro‐vitamin A (pVA) content. Delivering meaningful nutritional benefits, however, requires technologies that maintain elevated carotenoid levels under field conditions. Previous proof‐of‐concept work demonstrated that pVA content

A Novel Dual‐Target Compound Designed With Potent Herbicidal and Fungicidal Activity Inspired by Conserved Phytoene Synthase Domains

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 2903-2913, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of dual‐target inhibitors represents a cost‐effective strategy for integrated pest management. Here, we report the first dual‐target inhibitors designed against the evolutionarily conserved domain of phytoene synthase (PSY), a key enzyme in carotenoid biosynthesis.

Chromosome‐Scale Haplotype Genome Assemblies for the Australian Mango ‘Kensington Pride’ and a Wild Relative, Mangifera laurina, Provide Insights Into Anthracnose‐Resistance and Volatile Compound Biosynthesis Genes

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3172-3188, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Mango (Mangifera indica) is one of the most popular fruits cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The availability of reference genomes helps to identify the genetic basis of important traits. Here, we report assembled high‐quality chromosome‐level genomes for the Australian mango cultivar ‘Kensington Pride’ and M ...

Endophytic Biostimulant Pyrroloquinoline Quinone Enhances Banana Growth and Primes Immunity Against Fusarium Wilt

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a redox cofactor derived from prokaryotes that participates in various biological processes involving dehydrogenase enzymes. Previous field trials identified a PQQ‐producing endophyte, Burkholderia seminalis 869T2, which enhances banana growth and reduces Fusarium wilt incidence from 24.5% to 3.4%.

PHR1 mediates rapid high light responses and acclimation to high photosynthetic activity

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 3, May 2026.
SUMMARY Changing light intensity requires immediate metabolic adjustment which involves reprogramming of both plastidial and nuclear gene expression, but the signaling pathways behind such responses are not fully understood. Here we report that an increase in light intensity causes fluctuations of Pi levels in the chloroplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana ...

Single intake of matcha increases brown adipose tissue activity in young women with low thermogenesis

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, May 2026.
Abstract Matcha contains several bioactive compounds that contribute to the facilitation of thermogenesis. However, the effects of a single intake of matcha on brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity remain to be elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate the association between matcha intake and BAT activity.
