ABSTRACT The plant cuticle, composed of cutin and wax, is crucial for reducing non‐stomatal water loss and enhancing drought tolerance. CYP86A genes are key regulators of cutin and wax biosynthesis, yet the mechanisms controlling their expression remain unclear.

ABSTRACT Drought is the major abiotic stress threatening global crop yields, thus identifying potential candidates with promising breeding value has become a central goal of current breeding programmes. Here, we found that miR164b functions as a negative regulator in plant drought tolerance, whose expression is dramatically inhibited under drought ...

Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms
ABSTRACT Longan is an exotic tropical fruit crop and exhibits off‐season flowering induced by potassium chlorate (KClO3), though the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assembled a high‐quality, 441.5 Mb genome of variety ‘Shixia’, with a contig N50 at 28.1 Mb, 29, 325 protein‐coding genes, 26 telomeres and 15 centromeres.

ABSTRACT Anthocyanins are plant pigments that contribute to fruit coloration and nutritional quality, yet the coordinated regulation of their accumulation in both peel and flesh remains elusive. Here, we present a haplotype‐resolved genome of Malus cv. ‘Royalty’, a model cultivar with consistently red peel and flesh. A zinc‐finger transcription factor,

ABSTRACT Cold stress adversely affects plant growth and development, significantly limiting fruit yield and quality in citrus. Ichang papeda (Citrus ichangensis), a cold‐tolerant citrus species, serves as a valuable genetic resource for studying cold adaptation, yet the key genes and their modes of action underlying the cold stress response remain ...

ABSTRACT Pangenome can reveal a large number of variations, providing a more comprehensive view of the genetic diversity of species that a single reference genome cannot surpass. Here, we assembled the haplotype telomere‐to‐telomere genome and 10 chromosome‐level genomes, integrated with two previously reported genomes, and constructed a graph ...

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