Desiccation tolerance mechanisms in the green lineage and beyond
Ancient origin and recurrent evolution of desiccation tolerance in the green lineage. Summary Water is essential for life on Earth, yet some plants can survive the near‐complete loss of cellular water, a trait known as desiccation tolerance. Although rare in vegetative tissues of vascular plants, desiccation tolerance is scattered across the plant ...

ABSTRACT Forward genetics has been instrumental in identifying genes underlying desirable traits, yet its application to polyploid plants, many of which are key agricultural crops, remains challenging due to their genomic complexity. Therefore, we developed BenthMap, a bulk segregant analysis platform for high‐throughput trait mapping and gene ...

MYB Factors: Hubs of Plant Stress and Hormone Crosstalk
ABSTRACT MYB transcription factors function as main regulatory hubs that integrate environmental signals with multi‐hormonal pathways to synchronize plant growth, metabolism and stress responses. This review delineates the regulatory roles of MYB in the signalling pathway of salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, ethylene and abscisic acid signalling.

ABSTRACT To ensure sustainable agricultural production under escalating environmental constraints such as drought and salinity, innovative strategies are urgently needed. Here, we reveal in foxtail millet (Setaria italica) that transcription factors TAF10 and ERF109 form a functional complex which co‐activates the expression of key flavonoid ...

ABSTRACT Lettuce is a critical leafy vegetable consumed worldwide and is a substantial dietary source of health‐promoting compounds. Exploring changes in metabolism during lettuce domestication under artificial selection conditions is important to facilitate further breeding and cultivation for quality improvement.

ABSTRACT Grain size is a critical agronomic trait, yet the molecular mechanisms governing its determination in crops remain incompletely understood. While recent studies revealed that OsRING80 facilitates DENSE AND ERECT PANICLE 2 (DEP2) degradation to mediate immunity without impacting growth and development, our work identifies a distinct regulatory ...
