Root hairs and mycorrhiza represent alternative phylogenetically conserved strategies for belowground absorptive surface maximization

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
The phylogenetically conserved trade‐off between the investment in root hairs and mycorrhization formation. Summary Plants take up nutrients from the soil while investing in absorptive root surface or mycorrhizal partners. Root hairs – a major structure for nutrient uptake and cheap to build – increase the absorptive root surface.

Embryonal degreening and seed longevity require plastid LEA proteins

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Working model of how plastidial LEA proteins aid the remodelling of photosynthetic structures during degreening of Arabidopsis seed embryos. LEA42 and LEA48 support thylakoid proteostasis and membrane remodelling in embryonal cells during late seed maturation by maintaining a local physicochemical environment compatible with protein turnover and ...

A beneficial root endophyte buffers natural variation in pathogen susceptibility across Arabidopsis accessions

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Beneficial symbionts act as ecological stabilizers that mitigate differential pathogen susceptibility within natural plant populations. Summary Host genetic diversity shapes pathogen susceptibility within plant populations, raising the question of whether beneficial root microbes can buffer these differences.

CRISPR/Cas9‐Mediated Knockout of LbSP1 and LbSP5G1 Reveals Efficient Customization of Shoot Architecture in Black Goji Berry

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Goji is recognized as a nutritionally rich superfruit with medicinal and industrial importance. However, its inherently indeterminate growth habit causes asynchronous flowering and uneven fruit ripening, resulting in harvesting inefficiency with high labour costs and low fruit yield.

A Lambda Red Recombinase‐Assisted CRISPR/Cas9 System for Efficient and Precise Genome Editing in Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a powerful delivery tool for plant genetic transformation and a pivotal platform for agricultural biotechnology. However, laboratory strains of Agrobacterium have remained genetically unoptimized for decades, with genome engineering hindered by inefficient, endogenous homologous recombination systems.

A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...
