A TAF10‐ERF109 Transcriptional Module Directs Flavonoid‐Based Stress Resilience and Yield Enhancement in Foxtail Millet and Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To ensure sustainable agricultural production under escalating environmental constraints such as drought and salinity, innovative strategies are urgently needed. Here, we reveal in foxtail millet (Setaria italica) that transcription factors TAF10 and ERF109 form a functional complex which co‐activates the expression of key flavonoid ...

Targeted Modulation of Eukaryotic Release Factor 1 (OseRF1) by an RNA Aptamer Enhances Drought Adaptation in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought stress severely restricts rice productivity, necessitating strategies to enhance stress resilience. Here, we identify translation termination as a tunable regulatory node for stress adaptation. Using 25 rounds of SELEX, we isolated RTAR, an RNA aptamer that binds the rice eukaryotic release factor 1 (OseRF1) with nanomolar affinity ...

RNA‐Guided Engineering of the Chloroplast Genome Enabled by Plastid‐Expressed Guide RNAs

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Our goal is to develop RNA‐guided engineering of the chloroplast genome using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. We designed chloroplast minigenes to obtain properly sized single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) in tobacco chloroplasts. The sgRNA 5′ end is defined by transcription from an rRNA operon promoter, and its 3′ end by processing a downstream tRNA (trnG) or ...

Evolution‐Inspired Engineering of Diterpene Biosynthesis via Chloroplast Genome Modification

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terpenes constitute the largest and most structurally diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, with critical roles in plant‐environment interactions and broad industrial applications. Although nuclear genome engineering of terpene pathways has been extensively explored, chloroplast genome engineering remains largely undeveloped, with most

Differential effect of nano vs. micro-sized plastics on live Chlorella sp. algae in water environment

Microplastics and Nanoplastics
Environmental pollution by micro and nanoplastics (MPs) is becoming an imminent danger for the environment in the 21st century. However, the effect of the MPs of different sizes is still poorly understood.

A Computer Vision‐Based Methodology to Estimate Fruit Colour Diversity in Ornamental Pepper (Capsicum spp.)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit colour diversity within different ripening stages confers ornamental value for pepper plants. Using images can be helpful in analysing the fruit colour‐related genetic diversity and enable selecting accessions for ornamental purposes by avoiding subjectiveness.

Rapid Fusarium head blight detection on winter wheat ears using chlorophyll fluorescence imaging

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2012
Fusarium infection on wheat is a widespread thread for humans' and animals' nutrition as these fungi are known to produce the highly dangerous mycotoxin deoxynivaleol (DON).

Automated Phenotyping Unveils Trait‐Specific Genotypic Variation in Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Responsiveness in Maize (Zea mays)

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), a symbiosis between land plants and fungi that enhances plant mineral nutrition, has potential for application in sustainable agriculture. The extent to which plants benefit from the symbiosis depends on the plant‐fungal genotype combination, providing opportunities for breeding symbiosis‐optimized crops.
