The Nicotiana benthamiana Biofactory

- ABSTRACTPotato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a globally important food crop with considerable nutritional and economic value. Heat stress significantly inhibits potato plant growth and tuber development,...

Machine Learning?Driven Construction of High?Yielding Cucumber Plant Architectures in Greenhouse Environments

- Schematic summary of the machine learning?driven analysis for high?yield cucumber architecture. This study employs machine learning methods to analyze key shoot and root traits, building a predictive...

Integrating Nano-DAP and inductive cum targeted-yield equations to improve maize productivity and nutrient use efficiency in Alfisols of Karnataka

- IntroductionSoil-specific nutrient management is critical for improving maize (Zea mays L.) productivity in Alfisols, where imbalanced fertilization and low nutrient use efficiency often limit...

Comparative assessment of endogenous lipid transfer protein (LTP) level in genetically modified maize for its relevance in safety assessment

- Volume 17, Issue 1, December 2026.

A functional–structural plant model for dwarf tomato ideotype identification in vertical farming

22/12/2025 - Dwarf tomatoes are well suited for vertical farming due to their compact architecture and determinate growth, but their current genotypes are not optimized for high-density indoor systems. We...

Responses of Root Microbiome and Metabolome Are Linked to Crop Disease Severity

- ABSTRACTPlant microorganisms are an essential component of the host and perform critical functions in plant development and health. Emerging evidence shows that plants use their root exudates to...

Effects of Lipopolysaccharide Core Modulation on Outer Membrane Protein Function and Virulence in Pectobacterium carotovorum

- The LPS core is critical for virulence in Pectobacterium carotovorum, as its truncation disrupts outer membrane protein assembly, reducing protease secretion, motility, and soft rot...

Potato dihaploids uncover diverse alleles to facilitate diploid potato breeding

- AbstractCommercial potato (Solanum tuberosum) in North America is a clonal autotetraploid crop, which complicates breeding. Efforts are underway to convert potato to a diploid inbred?hybrid crop,...

An in-situ methodology to separate the contribution of soil water content and salinity to EMI-based soil electrical conductivity

- Salt accumulation in the root zone limits agricultural productivity and can eventually lead to land abandonment. Therefore, monitoring the spatial distribution of soil water content and solution...

Analysis of the maize production chain in the central?south region of Angola

- AbstractMaize is a critical crop for meeting the dietary needs of the global population, yet its production chain faces significant challenges that undermine economic viability. This study aimed to...

Tandem MADS?Box Genes FUL2 and MADS1 Form a Regulatory Module to Repress Serotonin Biosynthesis via Direct ASMT5 Activation in Tomato Fruit

- ABSTRACTThe regulation of serotonin metabolism during fruit development and ripening remains poorly understood, despite its potential roles in plant defence and human nutrition. Here, we demonstrated...

Serial Spatial Transcriptomes Reveal Regulatory Transitions in Maize Leaf Development

- ABSTRACTPlant leaves originate from the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and undergo a developmental process of highly coordinated gene expression regulation. To date, only a few key regulators have been...

Enhancing Metabolic Engineering in Medicinal Plants Through Prime Editing

- ABSTRACTThe Common Symbiosis Signalling Pathway (CSSP) underpins interactions between plants and microbes, yet its potential for crop improvement remains underexplored. Here, we investigated the...

Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus Reprogrammes Host Glycolysis to Facilitate Proliferation by a Phase?Separated Co?Aggregate of Nucleocapsid Protein and Phosphoglycerate Kinase

- ABSTRACTEfficient viral proliferation within the host is a critical step in pathogenicity and requires adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The replication, movement and immune evasion of many plant viruses...

Soil organic carbon fractions, stocks, and management index across diverse land uses in temperate India

- Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for soil health, agricultural productivity and climate change mitigation. This study quantifies the SOC content, SOC stocks and SOC fractions across various land...

Examining the effect of farm and farmers' characteristics and input allocation on potato production

- The objective of this research was to examine the effects of farm and farmers' characteristics, and input allocation on potato production in Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, using...

Facultative heterochromatin mediated by core and accessory chromosome-encoded H3K27-specific methyltransferases controls virulence in a fungal phytopathogen

06/01/2026 - In many fungal phytopathogens, infection is regulated by accessory genomic regions enriched in facultative heterochromatin, but the precise role of this chromatin state in virulence is poorly...

Potyviruses recruit host eIF4A3 to block m6A-mediated RNA decay by steric hindrance of viral RNA methylation in plants

08/01/2026 - N6-methyladenosine (m6A), a critical epitranscriptomic modification, regulates RNA metabolism and antiviral defenses. However, how pathogens evade m6A-mediated RNA decay in plants remains poorly...

Use of Split?Intein Proteins to Design a Small Molecule Biosensor in Plants

- ABSTRACTFruit shape is an important external quality trait that directly determines the market value. Modification of fruit shape has emerged as a key focus in crop improvement, but the regulatory...

Reprogramming of Gene Transcripts and Metabolites by the Wild Soybean Endophyte Pseudomonas sp. 77S3 Improves Soybean Salt Tolerance

- ABSTRACTSoybean is a critical source of protein and vegetable oil worldwide. Expanding its cultivation into salinity lands represents a promising strategy for increasing production; however, soil...

Maize Knows Friends or Foes? The Dark Side of Trichoderma asperellum as a Maize Ear Rot Pathogenic Fungus

- ABSTRACTCannabinoids, such as tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) and cannabichromenic acid (CBCA), are bioactive and medicinally relevant compounds found in the cannabis...
