Efficient water‐soluble blue/red‐emissive carbon dots matching plant absorption spectra: Synthesis, tunable control, and their applications in promoting plant growth

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Guided by the spectral demand of plant photosystems, this review summarizes the synthesis, emission regulation, dual‐emission design, and gram‐scale production of CDs for agricultural applications. Spectrally matched blue‐ and red‐emissive CDs enhance plant light utilization by converting underutilized light into photosynthetically active radiation and

A marigold (Tagetes erecta) R2R3-MYB transcription factor TeMYB4 modulates carotenoid accumulation and petal coloration by directly regulating carotenogenic genes

Industrial Crops and Products
Carotenoids are key pigments responsible for coloration, essential for both plant photosynthesis and human health. Carotenoid content in marigold contributes to petal color and the industrial extraction of lutein.

Oral Microalgae‐Laden Hydrogels Modulating the Intestinal Microbiota Metabolism for Acute Alcohol‐Induced Liver Injury Therapy

Small, EarlyView.
A food‐grade microalgae‐laden hydrogel (FMH) enables efficient in situ microalgae cultivation and serves as an oral therapeutic platform for acute alcohol‐induced liver injury. FMH improves alcohol tolerance, alleviates oxidative stress, inflammation, and lipid metabolic disorders, restores gut microbial homeostasis, and provides synergistic ...

Comparative Analysis of Stress Adaptation in the Yeast Microbiome of Cactus

Yeast, EarlyView.
Yeasts and related fungi isolated from cacti or nearby non‐cactus plants were characterized phenotypically and genomically, revealing differences that hint at modes of adaptation to the cactus host. ABSTRACT Together with other fungi, yeasts make up a significant component of the plant microbiome. As the planet warms, cacti expand their range.

Transcriptomic and targeted metabolomic insights into carotenoid-mediated color formation in sorghum grains

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionSorghum is a major staple crop in semi-arid regions; however, its generally low grain carotenoid content limits its potential contribution to alleviating vitamin A deficiency.

A horizontally transferred bacterial gene for pantothenic acid biosynthesis regulates diapause and reproduction in the spider mite Amphitetranychus viennensis

Insect Science, EarlyView.
A bacterial‐derived AvPBL gene encoding a pantothenate‐β‐alanine ligase was identified in Amphitetranychus viennensis. RNAi silencing of AvPBL reduced pantothenic acid production, impairing reproduction and diapause induction, while pantothenic acid supplementation rescued these phenotypes.

HGTScanner: Detecting horizontal gene transfer at the fine scale using whole organelle genomes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has profoundly shaped eukaryotic organellar genomes like plant mitochondria. Yet no generalized tools are currently available to efficiently characterize HGT across these genomes due to both high structural complexity and low sequence divergence compared to prokaryotic HGTs.

Light signaling controls chloroplast pyruvate metabolism through the STF1/2–PKP1 module in soybean

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In soybean, light‐responsive proteins switch on GmPKP1, which boosts chloroplast pyruvate production. This increases pigments, photosynthesis, seed oil, pod number, and yield, revealing a new way that light boosts crop productivity. ABSTRACT Light signaling coordinates plant development with metabolism, but the link between photoreceptors and ...

Extending the limits of algal growth and stress resilience – the desert alga Chlorella ohadii as an emerging model

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Multiple facets of Chlorella ohadii biological properties and potential as a research model and biotechnology platform. Summary Since its isolation from the sand dunes of the Negev Desert over a decade ago, the unicellular green alga Chlorella ohadii has turned into a reference organism for studying photosynthesis, metabolism, and abiotic stress ...
