Gaining insights into epigenetic memories through artificial intelligence and omics science in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 9, Page 2320-2349, September 2025.
This review explores how artificial intelligence and machine learning predict plant behavior in response to environmental stress by modeling molecular regulatory networks of plant stress responses. Their combined application with omics methods opens new avenues in understanding the functioning of plant memory and future plant memory‐based plant ...

Mitochondrial Complex Member VdNuo1 Recruits Superoxide Dismutases VdSOD2/4 to Maintain Superoxide Anion Homeostasis During Pathogenesis in Verticillium dahliae

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 9, September 2025.
Superoxide dismutases VdSOD2 and VdSOD4 are recruited and regulated by the 24‐kDa subunit VdNuo1 of the respiratory chain complex I to participate in the development and pathogenicity of Verticillium dahliae. ABSTRACT During oxidative phosphorylation, the leaked electrons generate superoxide anions to attack the mitochondrial inner membrane and impair ...

Aspartyl peptidase May1 induces host inflammatory response by altering cell wall composition in the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans

mBio
Cryptococcus neoformans causes cryptococcal meningoencephalitis, a disease that kills more than 180,000 people annually. Contributing to its success as a fungal pathogen is its cell wall surrounded by a capsule.
