Plant‐Based Production of Human Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II Molecules

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) protein triggers adaptive immune responses by presenting antigens on antigen‐presenting cells (APCs) to be recognised by CD4+ T cells. Recombinant MHC II proteins are effective for the analysis of peptide‐binding interaction, detection of antigen‐specific T‐cells and clinical testing for donor‐

Effects of Atmospheric CO2 Levels on the Susceptibility of Maize to Diverse Pathogens

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rising atmospheric CO2 has significant implications for crop productivity and food security. Based on studies in C3 plants, elevated CO2 (eCO2) can shape plant‐pathogen interactions, although the outcomes are often variable. The question of how eCO2 influences immunity and disease development in C4 plants, such as the globally important cereal

RNAi-Mediated Resistance to Bean golden mosaic virus in Genetically Engineered Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2007
Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) is transmitted by the whitefly Bemisia tabaci in a persistent, circulative manner, causing the golden mosaic of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).

Association of cropping practices, cropping areas, and foliar diseases of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Ethiopia

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, 2023
Common bean production is being constrained by a number of diseases. The survey was carried out to prioritize common bean diseases and their associations with cropping areas and cultural practices.

Aphicidal Potential and Metabolomic Profiling of Floriculture Leaf Waste Extracts Against Aphis craccivora Koch Under Laboratory Conditions

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2026.
We utilized the leaf wastes of floriculture crops, namely Tagetes patula, Chrysanthemum grandiflorum, and Alstroemeria hybrida to determine their insecticidal potential against nymphs and adults of Aphis craccivora. Targeted and nontargeted metabolomics of extracts showed the presence of phenols and flavonoids, which corroborates the insecticidal ...

Bean Common Mosaic Virus and Bean Common Mosaic Necrosis Virus: Relationships, Biology, and Prospects for Control.

Advances in virus research, 2015
The closely related potyviruses Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) and Bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV) are major constraints on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) production. Crop losses caused by BCMV and BCMNV impact severely not only on commercial scale cultivation of this high-value crop but also on production by smallholder farmers in the ...

Feeding of Riptortus pedestris on soybean plants, the primary cause of soybean staygreen syndrome in the Huang-Huai-Hai river basin

Crop Journal, 2019
Staygreen syndrome or Zhengqing in soybean has recently become a major issue for Chinese growers in the Huang-Huai-Hai river basin. Although previous studies revealed that staygreen can be induced when pods/seeds are damaged, it is unknown whether virus ...

SlMED25‐SlPHR3‐SlSPX2 module fine‐tunes SlPHR3‐mediated transcriptional activation of phosphate starvation response in tomato

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 10, Page 3593-3609, October 2026.
The mediator subunit SlMED25 and the co‐repressor SlSPX2 competitively bind the N‐terminal domain of the phosphate starvation response transcription factor SlPHR3 in tomato to form a sensitive molecular switch, which dynamically modulates phosphate starvation responses and maintains phosphate homeostasis, offering valuable targets for breeding low ...

Focus on DnaJ protein research from Arabidopsis to crop improvement

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract DnaJ proteins (Hsp40s) are essential components of the cellular proteostasis network, functioning as molecular co‐chaperones that regulate protein folding, stability, and stress‐responsive homeostasis in plants. Beyond their classical role as Hsp70 partners, accumulating evidence demonstrates that DnaJ proteins participate in diverse ...
