Sexual reproduction in plants is a tightly coordinated process that underpins biodiversity, drives speciation, and serves as a foundation for modern crop improvement. Here, we synthesize recent advances in elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing major reproductive events in flowering plants, including male and female gametogenesis, pollen-pistil communication, double fertilization, embryogenesis, and endosperm-mediated seed development. We also discuss the integration of asexual propagation through protoplast regeneration, highlighting its emerging importance in plant biotechnology. Together, these insights deepen our understanding of fundamental reproductive biology and open new opportunities for the rational design of hybrid breeding systems and stress-resilient crops, with broad implications for global food security under changing climatic conditions.

(Science China Life Sciences, 2026)
Biomolecular condensates formed through phase separation have emerged as a central principle of cellular organization, enabling the dynamic regulation of gene expression, signaling, metabolism, and stress responses. While early conceptual advances in condensate biology have largely originated from animal and in vitro systems, plant cells present a unique set of biological and technical challenges, including rigid cell walls, turgor pressure, plastid autofluorescence, complex endomembrane organization, and acute environmental responsiveness. These distinctive features impede the direct transfer of existing methodologies and drive the development of heterogeneous experimental practices. In this community comment, we present a comprehensive methodological framework for studying biomolecular condensates in plants, spanning in silico prediction, in vitro reconstitution, molecular dynamics simulations, live-cell and super-resolution imaging, material property measurements, membrane-associated condensates, and synthetic condensate engineering. We highlight best practices, common pitfalls, and plant-specific considerations, emphasizing the need for orthogonal validation, quantitative interpretation, and physiological relevance. By consolidating current methodologies and articulating shared principles, this review aims to establish a foundation for rigorous, reproducible, and conceptually coherent research in condensate biology of plants and beyond, with emerging implications for crop genetic improvement and synthetic biology applications.

Disruptions in RNA Splicing: A Key Regulator of Cognitive Impairment in Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorders - Xu-An Wang; Qing-Ya Wu; Xiao-Yu Shi; Xiao-Peng Wang; Yan-Yan Gao; Wei-Wei Zhang; Yi-Sheng Lu; Dan Liu; Ling-Qiang Zhu; Hua Zheng (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2026)
Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) encompass a spectrum of cognitive impairments that emerge during the perioperative period. The pathogenesis of PND is multifactorial, involving complex interactions between neuroinflammation, impairment of synaptic plasticity, dysregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. RNA splicing is increasingly recognized as a critical player in nervous system function and dysfunction. In this review, we explore the role of RNA splicing in modulating the major pathogenic mechanisms of PND. We highlight how aberrant splicing events promote neuroinflammation by altering the expression of pro-inflammatory genes, disrupt synaptic plasticity by modifying the profiles of synaptic proteins and neurotransmitter receptors, and impair the expression and function of BDNF. Additionally, RNA splicing abnormalities exacerbate oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, further amplifying neuronal damage. By elucidating the intricate interactions between RNA splicing and these core pathological processes, this review reveals the close association between RNA splicing dysregulation and the molecular underpinnings of PND, and highlights its potential regulatory role in PND pathogenesis.

An Interpretable Machine Learning Model for Predicting the Presence of Talaromycosis in HIV Patients Lacking Skin Lesions - Jiaguang Hu; Wenming He; Qun Tian; Yanqiu Lu; Peng Zhang; Jinyu Qin; Chuan Qin; Ying Wu; Cheng Huang; Xu Li; Luhuai Feng; Linghua Li; et al. (Mycopathologia, 2026)
Introduction The existing predictive models for talaromycosis in people living with HIV without skin lesions are limited by established risk factors and traditional statistical approaches. This study aims to develop an interpretable machine learning(ML) model for predicting the presence of talaromycosis in HIV patients without skin lesions and to validate its clinical applicability. Methods This retrospective multicenter study involved the analysis of electronic medical records from four tertiary hospitals in China, covering the period from 2010 to 2019. The training dataset comprised 1009 HIV patients with opportunistic infections, while external validation was conducted using data from 305 patients at an independent center. From an initial set of 36 variables, twelve key features were selected, including albumin, absolute lymphocyte count, hemoglobin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), AST/ALT ratio, C-reactive protein, white blood cell count, platelet count, peripheral or abdominal lymphadenopathy, CD4 + T-cell count, and age. Five ML algorithms were evaluated using tenfold cross-validation. Model performance was measured using the AUC, ACC, and F1-score. Calibration curves and decision curve analysis (DCA) were employed to assess the model’s reliability and clinical net benefit. The optimal model was subsequently implemented as a web-based tool. Results The Support Vector Machine (SVM) exhibited superior performance compared to other models, achieving an AUC of 0.809 (95% CI 0.778–0.838), an ACC of 0.714, and an F1-score of 0.689. External validation demonstrated enhanced performance metrics, with an AUC of 0.921 (95% CI 0.889–0.951), ACC of 0.853, and an F1-score of 0.819. DCA indicated a significant net clinical benefit across various risk thresholds, and calibration curves showed strong concordance between predicted and observed risks. Conclusion The interpretable SVM model effectively stratifies the risk of talaromycosis in people living with HIV without skin lesions in endemic regions, aligning with WHO recommendations for early diagnosis and treatment of priority fungal pathogens. Its integration into a web-based tool enhances clinical accessibility for early intervention in resource-constrained settings.

Dual Function Characterisation of the 4‐Cysteine Hepcidin in the Antarctic Toothfish Dissostichus mawsoni - Mingli Liu; Ruiqin Hu; Wanying Zhai; Jihui Yang; Jingwen Ma; Peng Hu; Qianghua Xu; Liangbiao Chen (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2026)
Hepcidin is a cysteine‐rich peptide that functions both as an antimicrobial peptide and a central regulator of iron homeostasis in vertebrates. Structurally, it consists of an N‐terminal signal peptide, a propeptide region and a C‐terminal bioactive mature peptide. The canonical mature hepcidin contains eight conserved cysteine residues that form four disulfide bonds, stabilising a characteristic β‐sheet hairpin‐like structure. In the Antarctic toothfish ( Dissostichus mawsoni ), which inhabits extremely cold marine environments, a unique hepcidin variant was identified possessing only four cysteine residues, designated dm_4cyshep. To evaluate the antimicrobial function of the dm_4cyshep peptide, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays and flow cytometry analyses were performed. The peptide demonstrated binding affinity and bactericidal activity against a range of Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria, with distinct MIC values observed for different strains. Furthermore, overexpression of dm_4cyshep in a hepcidin‐deficient zebrafish model markedly reduced systemic iron accumulation, indicating a conserved role in iron regulation. These results demonstrate that despite the reduced number of cysteine residues, dm_4cyshep retains both antimicrobial and iron‐modulatory functions, underscoring its potential as an immune effector molecule. This study enhances the understanding of the structural and functional diversity of fish hepcidins and identifies a promising candidate for improving disease resistance in aquaculture.

Scaling Laws Reveal a Unified Species‐Energy Relationship for Mountain Biodiversity - Zihan Jiang; Hongyan Liu; Zhiyao Tang; Jonathan M. Chase; Alexandre Antonelli; Michael Kessler; Maharaj K. Pandit; Kumar Manish; Wei Xu; Jianxiao Zhu; Qinggang Wang; Hang Sun; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2026)
Aim Energy availability is often assumed to be a primary driver of variation in biodiversity across large‐scale environmental gradients such as elevation, but support for the role of energetic constraints is far from universal. Here, we assume that these variations in energy–richness relationships might arise from the degree of match between the scale of the response of organisms to energy (response scale) and the scale of the observation made (observation scale). Location 41 mountain ecosystems worldwide, with detailed case studies on Dongling Mountain, China. Time Period Contemporary. Major Taxa Studied Trees, shrubs, herbs, ferns, birds, ants, bees, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Orthoptera, soil fauna, litter‐layer fauna, bacteria, fungi. Methods First, we quantify the response scale on the basis of energy requirements, and then, we develop a general scaling model that explicitly describes how the scale matching between response and observation scale influences the predictive power of energy in determining elevational richness patterns; this model holds across taxonomic groups, trophic guilds, and ecosystems across mountains globally. Results Global analyses strongly supported the model's prediction that scale matching determines the detectability of energy‐richness relationships. On Dongling Mountain, energy availability best explained richness patterns at the predicted response scales for trees, herbs, and litter fauna. Main Conclusions Our model advances the understanding of montane biodiversity distributions by demonstrating the critical role of scale matching in energy–richness relationships. Our findings strongly support the existing mechanistic foundation for predicting biodiversity changes across spatial scales in montane ecosystems. The scale‐matching principle we identified is likely to be applicable to a wide range of taxa and other ecosystems where energy availability varies across scales.

Multi‐Model Ensembles in Ecosystem Modeling: Challenges and Best Practices for Decision‐Making - Kaiyu Guan; Rongzhu Qin; Zewei Ma; Lei Zhao; Licheng Liu; Sheng Wang; Trevor F. Keenan; Mengqi Jia; Debjani Sihi; Eric Potash; Senthold Asseng; Jingyun Tang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2026)
Ecosystem models are increasingly central to the decision‐making for environmental policy, conservation planning, and climate‐related investments. Yet, the growing reliance on Multi‐Model Ensembles (MMEs) of ecosystem models by practitioners and policymakers, sometimes under tight timelines and imperfect information, has frequently outpaced the scientific rigor required to ensure ensemble reliability. Here, MMEs refer to approaches that combine targeted predictions from multiple models with the expectation of improving robustness and quantifying predictive uncertainty. Poorly designed MMEs may create a false sense of confidence and lead to suboptimal policy and market decisions. This perspective argues that robust decision‐making‐relevant MMEs must be grounded on two pillars: (1) rigorous Model Intercomparison Projects (MIPs), which identify inter‐model agreement and disagreement, characterize model uncertainties, and evaluate robustness with observationally based benchmarks—MIPs' diagnostic evaluation is so critical that it must be needed to drive MME's decision in model selection and weighting, especially when only a limited number of models available; and (2) co‐design by both stakeholders and scientists to ensure that scenarios, metrics and uncertainty requirements provide decision‐relevant information. Building upon the past success and lessons from the existing MIPs‐MMEs efforts (e.g., climate/Earth system/crop), we derived the theoretical basis for MMEs, addressed their specific challenges in ecosystem modeling, and highlighted proper consideration of model numbers and diversity, risk of model inter‐dependence, effective calibration of model parameters, possible overdue of some ecosystem model development, critical roles of open benchmark data across a wide range of conditions, and suggested use of Artificial Intelligence to support MIPs‐MMEs. We highlighted the under‐recognized opportunity for MIPs and MMEs to drive scientific progress and innovation through identifying better performing models, systematic benchmarking, feedback loops, and targeted model improvement. By following actionable best practice guidelines, MMEs can evolve from ad hoc aggregation of models into a trusted backbone of environmental policy and decision‐making.

Multiuse marine protected areas (MMPAs) with varying levels of protection in different zones are increasingly being adopted to balance conservation and socioeconomic goals. However, the effect of these zone‐based strategies on fish diversity is not well understood. We used environmental DNA surveys across zones with different protection levels (fully protected, highly protected, and lightly protected) in three typical Chinese MMPAs, while controlling for environmental factors and human activities, to examine fish species composition and richness among zones. Contrary to expectations, sites with high levels of protection had lower fish species richness than sites with lower levels of protection. Turnover in community composition between fully protected and less protected zones was 88.4% and accounted for 96.4% of pairwise dissimilarities. Rather than diminishing the importance of high‐level protection, our results showed that a tiered zoning approach can sustain fish species richness and limit biotic homogenization. Our results challenge the assumption that strict protection universally leads to high species richness and demonstrate that nuanced multilevel protection zoning may be more effective at preserving marine biodiversity and ecosystem functions at broader spatial scales.
