Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.Hulless barley resists the newly identified sheath rot disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Dactylobotrys graminicola by releasing coniferyl aldehyde, a natural compound that disrupts energy production in the fungus. ABSTRACT Dactylobotrys graminicola (Dgr), a necrotrophic fungal pathogen, has recently been identified as the causative ...

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over recent years the use of yeast in feedstuffs has gained momentum due to novel developments in single‐cell proteins (SCPs). SCPs are considered a sustainable protein source, as their production enable to convert low‐value substrates (including industrial/agricultural wastes) into feed, with a related reduced environmental impact. This study

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Osmotic stressors induce developmental and physiological changes in rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings, which are modulated by cell‐type‐specific gene expression and regulatory networks. We exposed plants to two levels of drought and salinity stress and measured the effects of these stressors on developing leaves by measuring physiological traits, ion ...

Desiccation tolerance mechanisms in the green lineage and beyond
New Phytologist, EarlyView.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 ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Indoor vertical farming (VF) offers practical advantages for the cultivation of plant protein bio‐factories including plant uniformity, product consistency, water/nutrient recycling and production cycles on a year‐round basis. Much progress has been achieved toward the development of innovative systems for artificial lighting, automated ...

Spatially Resolved ABA Signalling Reveals Dual Role in Tomato Yield
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Abscisic acid (ABA) is a central hormonal regulator of plant adaptation to stress and developmental progression. However, its contribution to agronomic traits such as yield remains unclear due to the pleiotropic nature of ABA signalling. To disentangle distinct physiological functions of ABA, we employed a receptor‐specific gain‐of‐function ...
