α‐1,3‐Glucan Is Required for Cell Wall Integrity and Full Virulence of Colletotrichum graminicola, but Not for Evasion of PAMP‐Triggered Immunity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abbreviated Summary The role of the major fungal cell wall polymer α‐1,3‐glucan in plant infection is poorly understood. Deletion mutants of the maize anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum graminicola lacking all three α‐1,3‐glucan synthase genes differentiated severely distorted biotrophic hyphae in planta, and virulence was strongly reduced.

In Planta Expression of Thermophilic GtGBE Mimics BEIIb and Modifies Rice Starch Structure Without Yield Penalties

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enzymatic modification using glycosyltransferases offers a green route to produce highly branched starch to enhance starch functionality in the food industry, yet this approach faces challenges including the high cost of enzyme production and inefficiency.

HvPHO1 Controls a Glucose 1‐Phosphate–SnRK1 Signalling Module That Coordinates Starch Accumulation in Barley Endosperm

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Developing barley grains must balance the use of imported sucrose between soluble sugars and storage starch, but how this balance is controlled remains unclear. Here we show that loss of the plastidial α‐glucan phosphorylase HvPHO1 causes starch and soluble sugars to accumulate concurrently in barley grains.

Polar Lipid and Fatty Acid Profiles of Oat Groats Substantially Influenced by Field Management: A Comparison of Cultivars, Sowing Times and Fertilizer Composition

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The polar lipids in oat grains are crucial due to their biological functions, nutritional quality, potential use in food flavour and processing, the protection they provide against biotic and abiotic stresses, and their ability to act as cellular signalling molecules.

Sugars as Central Integrators of Plant Immunity and Stress Responses

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugars are fundamental metabolites that sustain plant growth and development, but accumulating evidence demonstrates that they also function as regulatory hubs in plant defence. In this review, we synthesise current knowledge on how carbohydrate dynamics coordinate metabolism, signalling, and structural responses to shape plant resistance ...

Hidden Strategies Beneath a Single Nucleotide: Contrasting Physiology in Lichen Photobiont Strains

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lichen photobionts exhibit significant physiological variability with important ecological implications. While this variability is relatively well studied at the interspecific level, it has rarely been examined at the intraspecific level. Here, we investigated the physiological responses to temperature and irradiance of two Trebouxia lynniae ...

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

“Is This Edible Anyway?” The Impact of Culture on the Evolution (and Devolution) of Mushroom Knowledge

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mushrooms are a ubiquitous and essential component in our biological environment and have been of interest to humans around the globe for millennia. Knowledge about mushrooms represents a prime example of cumulative culture, one of the key processes in human evolution.
