Starch Synthase 3 isoforms are essential for normal starch granule initiation in wheat endosperm

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1075-1091, April 2026.
Summary Wheat grains have two distinct types of starch granules. Large, lenticular A‐type granules are formed from a single initiation per amyloplast during early grain development, while numerous small B‐type granules are initiated during later grain development.

Haplotype‐Resolved Genome Assembly and Population Genomics Reveal Evolutionary History and Agronomic Traits of Mulberry

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2105-2122, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Mulberry is a representative economic tree species valued for both poverty alleviation and medicinal use. To advance the understanding of mulberry genomics and demography, we assembled high‐quality haploid genomes of two widely cultivated mulberry varieties NS14 and QS1, and analysed 376 accessions from 12 countries, including 39 ancient trees

A Branched SNF1‐Related Protein Kinase 2 Signalling Cascade Controls ABA‐Induced Ethylene Production and Regulates Both Fruit Ripening and Reproductive Growth

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2657-2672, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Control of fruit ripening, quality and yield is of major scientific, nutritional and commercial importance. The burst of ethylene (ET) production at the initiation of ripening is the most critical event controlling climacteric (CL) fruit ripening, yet little is known about how it is initiated.

Cas9‐Embedding Hyperactive TadA8e Confers Efficient and Highly Specific A‐To‐G Base Editing in Rice

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2576-2591, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Adenine base editors (ABEs) produce precise A‐to‐G conversion in the genomic target sites without causing double‐strand breaks. However, the hyperactive adenosine deaminase TadA8e raises safety concerns on genome‐wide off‐target edits. We engineered 11 chimeric proteins for ABEs (CP‐ABEs) by embedding hyperactive TadA8e within Cas9 nickase to ...

Genetic Mapping and Functional Characterisation of GhCUP Regulating Leaf Curling in Cotton

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2607-2622, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Leaf size and shape are crucial traits affecting photosynthesis. Moderate leaf curling is believed to be beneficial to photosynthesis because upright leaves are ideal for building a canopy structure with reduced shaded areas to improve light penetration and ventilation.
