Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Isoflavones, secondary metabolites with numerous health benefits, are predominantly found in legume seeds, especially soybean; however, their contents in domesticated soybean seeds are highly variable. Wild soybeans are known for higher seed isoflavone contents than cultivars. Here we used experimental and modelling approaches on wild soybean (

Isolation and expression analysis of anthocyanin biosynthetic genes in Morus alba L.
Biologia Plantarum, 2014 Anthocyanins from mulberry fruits are used in medicine. However, little anthocyanin can be detected in other tissues and sometimes also mulberry fruits are colorless.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Transient expression of exogenous protein in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves via agroinfiltration offers a rapid and efficient platform for functional gene discovery and heterologous production of valuable eukaryotic proteins and metabolites. Though light quality is an important factor for plant photomorphogenesis, its impact on the efficiency of

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Molecular polymorphisms that underlie trait variation in crops: Lessons learned from soybean
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Genetic variation within a germplasm is important in crop improvement, providing a foundation for breeders to develop new varieties. Traits of agronomic and economic importance are often mapped to identify the genetic basis of observed phenotypes, oftentimes using quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1424-1438, March 2026.ABSTRACT Insect‐derived molecular cues can prime plant defences against herbivore attack. The genes that are sensitive to priming, and how their expression changes on the scale of days, have not been fully resolved. Moreover, priming may affect interactions with insects that are not the source of the priming cue.

Light-Controlled Fruit Pigmentation and Flavor Volatiles in Tomato and Bell Pepper
Antioxidants, 2019 Light is a major environmental factor affecting the regulation of secondary metabolites, such as pigments and flavor. The Solanaceae plant family has diverse patterns of fruit metabolisms that serve as suitable models to understand the molecular basis of

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1598-1616, March 2026.ABSTRACT Phosphate (Pi) is an essential macronutrient for plant development that is often limited in soil. Plants have evolved dynamic biochemical, physiological and morphological adaptations to cope with Pi deficiency, known as the Pi starvation response (PSR).

Exogenous melatonin promotes anthocyanin accumulation and coloration in Chinese plum peels
BMC Plant BiologyMelatonin (MT) is a growth regulator that influences anthocyanin synthesis during plant growth. However, the regulation mechanism of MT on the coloration of plum peels remains unclear.
