Soybean Auxin Transporter PIN3 Regulates Nitrate Acquisition to Improve Nitrogen Use and Seed Traits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Xu et al. discovers that switching off auxin transporters in soybean, PIN3a and PIN3b, disrupts auxin flow; this triggers ARF‐STF3/4 signal cascade to activate the nitrate importer NPF2.13 and soil nitrogen acquisition. Multi‐year field trials show edited soybeans maintain yield with higher oil content, offering a potential genetic route to improve ...

A Pan‐TE Map Reveals the Important Role of Transposable Elements in Gene Expression and Phenotypic Diversity in 2,311 Rapeseed Accessions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents the first pan‐transposable element (TE) atlas in rapeseed, profiling over 8 million TEs across 2311 accessions. Integrative analyses reveal that TEs broadly shape gene expression through diverse regulatory mechanisms, with key insertions in BnaA03.FLC and BnaA09.CYP78A9 linked to flowering time and silique development.

Dual Disruption of the Immune Cytokine Spätzle Facilitates Fungal Infection of Diverse Insect Hosts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Toll pathway is essential for insect defense against fungal pathogens. This works reports that fungal parasites employ two divergent virulent effectors to target the Toll receptor ligand Spätzle: a metalloprotease degrading it and a hairpin‐like effector hijacking it to block signal transduction. This dual strategy enables the fungus to kill a wide

Agrobacterium-mediated barley transformation. [PDF]

, 2008
More than ten years have passed since the first successful Agrobacterium-mediated barley transformation experiment, however it is still quite challenging to establish a stably functioning agroinfiltration protocol.

ADA2 Forms Nuclear Condensates with GCN5 and ATP‐Citrate Lyase (ACL) to Modulate H3K9 Acetylation at Genes Functioning in Rice Meristems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study unveils a novel GAA (GCN5‐ADA2‐ACL) complex that forms nuclear condensates to boost local acetyl‐CoA, facilitating histone acetylation and gene transcription in rice meristems. The research underscores the role of ADA2's disordered region in complex condensation and ACL's role in acetyl‐CoA production.

Autopolyploidization‐Induced Chromatin Remodeling Regulates Leaf Size Variation in Brassica rapa

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that monoploid, diploid, and autotetraploid Brassica rapa lines derived from the same genome exhibit distinct leaf morphology. Ploidy changes remodel chromatin accessibility and histone modifications to regulate gene expression, while key transcription factors BrGRF13 and BrARF11 control leaf size and polarity, driving ...

Evolutionary Divergence of an Ethylene‐Responsive Transcriptional Cascade Governs a Dose‐Dependent Balance between Cotton Fiber Length and Strength

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A tunable, ethylene‐responsive cascade governing the dose‐dependent balance between fiber length and strength is unveiled. Elevated ethylene strengthens modern tetraploid cotton (G. hirsutum) fibers but elongates those of its diploid ancestor (G. arboreum). This phenotypic switch is traced to an evolutionary functional inversion of a conserved EIN3‐ERF‐

Targeted genome modifications in soybean with CRISPR/Cas9 [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The ability to selectively alter genomic DNA sequences in vivo is a powerful tool for basic and applied research. The CRISPR/Cas9 system precisely mutates DNA sequences in a number of organisms.

Insect I‐Type Lysozymes Function as Antiviral Proteases by Forming Biomolecular Condensates

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Upon rice viral infection, the insect vector activates the Toll–MyD88–Dorsal signaling cascade, inducing i‐type lysozyme (Lyz‐I1) expression. Lyz‐I1 functions as an antiviral protease through its conserved catalytic dyad Glu/Asp (E/D), mediating cleavage of viral proteins at specific Lys (K) residues.
