Nights are warming faster than days, affecting crops. This review shows nighttime heat affects legumes differently from daytime heat, reducing pod set and grain weight. Understanding this helps breed climate-resilient legumes. https://t.co/OUubklwU25 @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

Bivalent chromatin regulates glucosinolate (GSL) biosynthesis in Arabidopsis. GSL genes carry both active (acetylation) and repressive (H3K27me3) marks. Loss of PRC2 components (CLF, SWN, LHP1) elevates GSL levels. https://t.co/VY8sPFG8gZ @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

A single mutation in the cucumber Staygreen (CsSGR) gene gives plants stronger resistance to multiple pathogens and better cold tolerance. It alters chlorophyll metabolism, leading to ROS accumulation that activates SA/JA defence signalling.

Hazelnuts from major growing regions contain the seed endosymbiont Spirosoma pollinicola, linked to allergenicity. Proteomic analysis shows variation in allergenic proteins; provenances 17 and 18 have lower allergen levels. ⤵️ https://t.co/dvwLDgFjDS @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

Roots shape their surrounding soil via structural modification of pores and preferential growth into existing pores. Both govern rhizosphere porosity and rhizosheath formation, yet these two zones are distinct. https://t.co/DdDWkfIzC1 @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

Far-red light can drive photosynthesis as efficiently as normal plant light once absorbed. Lettuce grown with far-red not only kept photosynthesizing well but also showed higher growth efficiency. https://t.co/rojEz4YpxR @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

Field experiments show that isoprene from birch trees boosts disease resistance in neighboring Arabidopsis. This effect relies on LLP1, a protein for systemic acquired resistance, highlighting plant–plant chemical communication. https://t.co/BebSdb7ghA @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

Tomato root immunity is strongest in young root zones. FLS2, FLS3, and CORE trigger overlapping but distinct responses, with differences between wild and domesticated plants. Root immunity is stage- and species-specific. https://t.co/l7fy2lq9zR @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

How do seeds “know” when to sprout? In Lepidium sativum, thermal‐time models hide distinct molecular & biomechanical tricks of endosperm weakening at different temps. The dormancy gene DOG1 is the master regulator. ⤵️ https://t.co/IPAydTEJSE @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

Priming Arabidopsis seeds with 0.1 mM methyl jasmonate enhanced pest-specific defences without growth penalties, via fine-tuned transcriptome & metabolome regulation. Read more ⤵️ https://t.co/cDxOfSRnAc @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

Climate warming raises the risk of harmful leaf temps, especially in tropical trees adapted to stable heat. Our study in Rwanda shows these species have limited ability to acclimate, risking photosynthetic damage as temps rise. https://t.co/YYXYgSR4ry @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

Lasiodiplodia theobromae, the cause of grapevine canker, lacks effective fungicide control. This study identifies fungal milRNA LtmilR2 as a negative regulator of virulence via targeting LtRASGEF (RAS signaling). https://t.co/hf73CHYxNw @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

Aluminium (Al) stress boosts suberin in barley roots, but silicon can reverse it. Using LCM RNAseq, the authors show Al-induced suberization is driven by the ABA pathway, offering new insights into root responses to Al toxicity. https://t.co/b9gNUvuhEZ @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) enhance phosphorus uptake and biomass in sorghum, even across accessions with different root traits. AMF could be key to breeding crops with higher P-use efficiency. https://t.co/K6rF6xMiJA @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

Roots are vital but hard to study underground. This study used spectral electrical impedance tomography (sEIT) to non-invasively image sugar beet and maize roots in the field. Results show sEIT can track root traits and biomass. https://t.co/R7OXv0pBrU @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

In Arabidopsis, overexpressing BIR1 triggers immune responses and cell death, much like its loss. EDS1 and SOBIR1 are key players in this hypersensitive response, linking BIR1 to NLR surveillance. https://t.co/DHBKVEZ8gh @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

Physcomitrium patens acclimates to high/fluctuating light via coordinated photoprotection at PSII & PSI. NPQ and AET act together to maintain photosynthetic balance, mutants lacking either show reduced efficiency and growth. https://t.co/1BVh9a3pRs @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

An optimized Ribo-seq protocol for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii improves data quality and reveals daily regulation of gene expression, including increased activity of cell cycle genes and dynamic uORFs. https://t.co/vSkJ7wl7tQ @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

SlGAT1, a high-affinity GABA transporter on the tomato plasma membrane, enhances salt stress tolerance by regulating GABA uptake and activating key amino acid metabolic pathways essential for stress adaptation. https://t.co/F03OCn1FjY @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess

This study shows that root ABA accumulation in soybean under drought is primarily regulated by local biosynthesis rather than shoot-derived ABA. Interrupting phloem transport reduces root ABA despite elevated NCED expression. https://t.co/vIy1PbLhA5 @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess
