Melatonin seed priming: A climate‐smart, green strategy to enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes how melatonin seed priming preconditions seeds to enhance tolerance against diverse abiotic stresses. It highlights the underlying mechanisms and proposes an integrative roadmap of advanced molecular and breeding tools to design next‐generation, stress‐smart plants.

Reconfiguring biofortification strategies to transform food systems and address micronutrient deficiency of the 21st century

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how to make staple foods and horticultural crops more nutritious, including how artificial intelligence‐based screening of gene banks helps deploy nutritionally rich germplasm into breeding. Genome editing can help develop crops richer in minerals, vitamins, and health‐promoting compounds, supporting healthier diets and more ...

Strigolactone‐mediated architecture regulation and stress resilience: Insights and innovations for crop breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the discovery, biosynthesis, and transport of strigolactone, and the D14‐D3/MAX2‐D53/SMXLs signaling module. It highlights diverse roles of strigolactone in plant architecture, stress responses, and crop breeding, including species‐specific functions, hormonal crosstalk, and agricultural applications.

Carotenoid biosynthesis and metabolism in potato tubers

, 2012
Potato tuber flesh colour is a quality trait dependent on the types and levels of carotenoids. These, together with many plant growth regulators, sterols and terpenes, are isoprenoid derived compounds.

A Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals QTLs and Candidate Genes Associated with the Carotenoid Content in the Flesh of Cucurbita pepo L. Fruit

Antioxidants
Considering the importance of carotenoids in the human diet, their enhancement is a key trait in current breeding programs. This study assessed lutein, zeaxanthin, α-carotene, and β-carotene levels in the flesh of mature fruits from 257 global C.

Evaluation of Torula Yeast (Candida utilis) Single Cell Proteins as a Partial Replacement for Soybean Meal in Broiler Diets: Effects on Productive Performance, Meat Quality Traits, and Plasma Metabolome

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

Heat‐evolved coral photosymbionts exhibit dampened stress responses across distinct physiological contexts

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Experimental evolution under elevated temperatures has generated heat‐evolved (HE) strains of Symbiodiniaceae that enhance coral bleaching tolerance. However, the biomolecular mechanisms underlying this resilience remain poorly understood. We conducted a laboratory heat‐stress experiment and applied synchrotron‐based Fourier transform infrared (

Transcriptomics and proteomics insights into carotenoid differentiation in tissue cultured Rehmannia glutinosa root cambial meristematic cells: REG-CMC1 and non-somaclonal REG-CMC2

BMC Plant Biology
Plant bioactive compounds, particularly carotenoids, anthocyanins and flavonoids, plays a pivotal role in the pigmentation of plant tissues. In the current study, two distinct cambial meristematic cell (CMC) lines named REG-CMC-1 and REG-CMC-2 were ...
