New OA Article: "SNI1/NSE5 is a cold-sensitive brake on class II crossovers in Arabidopsis" rdcu.be/P1VqD9W4RvQa With Research Briefing: "SNI1 governs how temperature reshapes crossovers and genetic diversity" rdcu.be/1ZSG6fvWCPJa

New Letter: "Long-term biomass growth unimpeded by short-term photosynthetic decoupling" rdcu.be/2B9JwqK1MtTa ...show that the decoupling between photosynthesis & plant wood growth recently reported neither implies sink limitation nor constrains long-term biomass growth.

New Editorial: "Engineering resilient forests" rdcu.be/9VhEudRpKxCa Climate change leads to changes in precipitation distribution and the frequency of extreme weather conditions. For temperate forests to survive this may require a targeted forest engineering approach.

"How SCREW finds its NUT" rdcu.be/k8vBj18vix9a A News & Views on 3 complementary structural studies published together about SCREW/CTNIP–NUT/HSL3 signalling: rdcu.be/AY11kgcFgTia rdcu.be/S6g7YM6WPjTa rdcu.be/16bsh4fYzpna

New OA Article: "REAP1/AtSWAP70 integrates RAB5 and ROP signalling during sexual reproduction" rdcu.be/kyZ4R2qBg9Da With News & Views: "ROP meets RAB at crossroads" rdcu.be/bqKfMzXQ26fa

New Review Article: "Advancing the adoption of RNA interference-based biopesticides" rdcu.be/1FyqN1rWWL5a Reliability, regulation, public acceptance and advances in design and delivery will shape growers’ decision-making and adoption of RNA interference-based biopesticides.

New Article: "Overcompensation of vegetation productivity after late-spring frost in the Northern Hemisphere" rdcu.be/hPE75sdFpLTa With Research Briefing: "Vegetation overcompensation after late-spring frost is widespread across terrestrial ecosystems" rdcu.be/8Kot7saaUrpa

New Correspondence: "CRISPR beyond biology: building a sustainable innovation system" rdcu.be/vPZVgFHi4Jza

New Resource: "Decoding the landscape of cell-type-specific co-expressed transcription factors in soybean" rdcu.be/Utz7VVXv9V4a With Research Briefing rdcu.be/no6fLGakNtya

Last talk today at #PPRM2026 by Moutassem Omary (Zipfel lab) illustrates the modularity and flexibility of PRR signalling: after redundant receptors, peptides and antipeptides, here come the secreted LRR domains that can basically replace BAK1 and interfere with various pathways.

Xu Wang (Schaller's lab), giving a talk at #PPRM2026 about new tomato systemins, reminds us of the 1991 Science paper from Clarence Ryan's lab that basically started the whole field: 2 kg of leaves to finally extract 1 ug of systemin. Amazing biochemistry. science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126…

Our editors write: - Climate change: Routes and rates rdcu.be/gyAhX2fVsrra - Arabidopsis: Col-0 genetic divergence rdcu.be/f6LHr9wpTXpa - Maize domestication: Yet another domestication-selected enhancer rdcu.be/nZMHQqeUfaba

New Letter: "An LRR co-receptor kinase essential for systemic nitrogen-demand signalling" rdcu.be/bePgscq8DY4a It is co-receptor for CEPR1, assigning a function to the last unknown clade of this receptor family. Key regulator of systemic N-demand signalling in plants.

New Article: "Zinc-finger proteins C3H14 and C3H15 maintain meiocyte identity in flowering plants" rdcu.be/u85ab4jLd2La ...by eliminating somatic transcripts in anthers. Their loss leads to ectopic transcript accumulation, pachytene arrest, ROS bursts and PCD in meiocytes.

New Brief Communication: "Cell-based CRISPRa screen identifies a papillae-specific receptor kinase mediating broad-spectrum fungal resistance in rice" rdcu.be/ZZFv8dTuRi8a A RK that positively regulates fungal resistance via silicon-mediated physical & biochemical defences.
