Saccharomyces cerevisiae Yeast‐Based Supplement and Breast Milk Supply: A Randomised Placebo‐Controlled Trial

open access: yesMaternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
Maternal brewer's yeast supplementation did not change the milk oligosaccharide (HMO) concentration, but more mothers felt their milk supply was increased, and fewer reported formula use by 6 months postpartum compared to those taking the placebo. This suggests the supplement may support breastfeeding, warranting further investigation in larger trials.

Root tip excision‐induced exodermis lignification impacts lateral root emergence in Brachypodium distachyon

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The mechanisms controlling lateral root emergence in monocots, particularly the role of the exodermis, are poorly understood. We investigated how natural variation in the Brachypodium distachyon stress response shapes root system architecture by modulating cell wall dynamics.

Quiescin Sulfhydryl Oxidase‐Like 1 Positively Regulates Seed Dormancy in Rice

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed dormancy is an adaptive strategy that enables plants to survive adverse environmental conditions. In agricultural contexts, an optimal level of dormancy is essential: Insufficient dormancy can result in preharvest sprouting, while excessive dormancy may lead to uneven germination and poor stand establishment in subsequent crops.

Genetic Determinants and Breeding Strategies for Rice Cooking and Eating Quality: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice cooking and eating quality (CEQ), a core agronomic trait tied to consumer preference and market value, is regulated by endosperm starch, protein, and lipid metabolism; this review synthesizes advances in its molecular mechanisms, focusing on genetic determinants and regulatory networks of storage substances.

Subclass III SnRK2 Kinases Coordinate Starch and Storage Protein Synthesis During Maize Kernel Development

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enhancing both starch and protein accumulation is a key strategy for improving maize yield and quality. Achieving this goal requires an in‐depth understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that integrate these pathways. Here, we demonstrate that functionally redundant subclass III SNF1‐related protein kinase 2s (SnRK2s) act as central ...

LUCID: An Integrative Approach for Target Discovery and dsRNA Design in Plant Fungal Pathogens

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
LUCID: A computational pipeline for RNAi‐based biofungicide design. ABSTRACT Phytopathogenic fungi pose an escalating threat to global food security and ecosystem stability, as resistance and environmental concerns diminish the effectiveness of conventional fungicides.

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

A Fusarium sacchari Glycoside Hydrolase 12 Protein FsEG1 Is a Major Virulence Factor During Sugarcane Infection and Confers Resistance to Pokkah Boeng Disease via the HIGS Strategy

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pokkah Boeng disease (PBD), caused by Fusarium sacchari, has severely impacted the yield and quality of sugarcane, resulting in significant economic losses. However, the molecular interaction mechanisms between F. sacchari and sugarcane remain poorly understood.
