The Pi values of 33 genes ranged from 0 to 0.16277. Phylogenetic analysis divided 43 species into 6 categories. Combined with the results of collinearity, it was found that Festuca pratensis had the closest genetic relationship with Lolium perenne. In this study, the first high-quality mitochondrial genome of Festuca pratensis was assembled, which provided key high-quality reference data for subsequent organelle genome evolution, stress-resistant functional gene mining and germplasm resource identification of related species.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2026.1836813 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2026.1836813 <![CDATA[High-throughput phenotypic analysis of plant and curd growth dynamics during the whole growth period of cauliflower based on instance segmentation]]> 2026-05-13T00:00:00Z Original Research Saichuan ChengSidi WuQingqing ShaoMindong ChenJianting LiuBoyin QiuHaisheng Zhu 0.90). Furthermore, the Richards model and Sine model were used to accurately fit the growth dynamics of leaf area and curd area, respectively. Based on growth kinetics, curds were classified into three types: mature and compact type, peak-burst type, and steady-increase type. Cluster analysis of 47 germplasms based on high-throughput phenotyping data revealed four groups and their growth characteristics: comprehensively coordinated type, mid-maturity compact type, large high-yield type, and curd-dominant type. Integrating the above functions, a platform for cauliflower growth monitoring and phenotypic analysis was developed. It provided full-process support from automatic image processing to growth dynamic analysis. This work provides an effective automated solution for high-throughput phenotyping analysis and growth dynamic monitoring of cauliflower, and offers a referable analytical framework for crop growth pattern research and intelligent breeding decision-making.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2026.1835288 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2026.1835288 <![CDATA[Potential distribution, range dynamics, and livestock exposure risk of Veratrum nigrum L. in China under climate change]]> 2026-05-13T00:00:00Z Original Research Shuoning ZhangWenjing XuLingfeng MaYiwei ShenWeitao YaoWenzhuo ZhangAlyaa NasrYang Nan https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2026.1752821 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2026.1752821 <![CDATA[Integrated analysis of endophytic fungal communities and metabolites reveals root rot-induced disruptions in Monochasma savatieri]]> 2026-05-13T00:00:00Z Original Research Yuyin ZhangHua DouChenlu FanXuyu ChenJianhe Wei https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2026.1727579 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2026.1727579 <![CDATA[A multi-model genotype × environment interaction analysis discerning phenotypic plasticity of the strong culm trait in rice]]> 2026-05-13T00:00:00Z Original Research Akshay MamidiKrishna LavuriJyothi BadriS.
