Bioconversion of carotenoids into high‐value crocins using a marine sponge carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Carotenoids and apocarotenoids are widespread specialized metabolites, yet animals, including sponges, lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids de novo and must obtain them from dietary or microbial sources. The roles of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) in marine animals remain largely unexplored. A CCD from the marine sponge Suberites

Silene, a versatile model system: from sex and genome evolution to ecology and speciation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Fundamental and applied research in evolutionary biology benefits from the use of model systems in which approaches from disparate disciplines can be integrated. Here, we review recent progress in evolutionary research on the long‐standing model system Silene, a large genus with a well‐resolved phylogeny and newly available, expanded genomic ...

PPT1‐mediated plastidic phosphoenolpyruvate import enhances fatty acid biosynthesis in sugar‐rich tissues

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Metabolic engineering of vegetative tissues for lipid production holds transformative potential for sustainable biofuels, yet achieving sufficient yields remains challenging. Here, we present a strategy to enhance fatty acid synthesis by redirecting cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) into plastids through overexpression of the plastidial ...

Vernalization regulatory network identifies potential novel functions for genes in the HvVRN2 locus

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Flowering is controlled by environmental and genetic factors. Vernalization requirement in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is determined by the allele in HvVRN1 and the presence of locus HvVRN2, which consists of two zinc‐finger and CONSTANS‐like domains (ZCCT) genes: HvVRN2a and HvVRN2b.

OsbHLH064, an IVb bHLH Transcription Factor, Regulates Iron Homeostasis and Enhances Grain Fe Accumulation in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. The maintenance of Fe homeostasis relies on sophisticated regulatory networks where bHLH transcription factors play a key role. However, how these factors coordinate to regulate this vital process is not fully understood.

VqLecRKV.4 and VqBAK1 Modulate Grapevine Resistance to Powdery Mildew by Regulating Dynamic Balance of ROS

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grapevine powdery mildew, caused by the fungal pathogen Erysiphe necator, severely impacts plant growth and berry quality. However, the grapevine receptors and molecular mechanisms underlying grapevine resistance to E. necator remain poorly understood.

Gallic Acid‐Responsive microRNAs Reprogram Lignification During Drought Acclimation Process in Spearmint

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mentha spicata L. (spearmint) is a high‐value aromatic and medicinal species, whose productivity is strongly affected by water deficit. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying drought acclimation in this mint remain largely unexplored. Thus, here, we investigated the microRNA‐mediated regulatory processes triggered in M.

A Hierarchical VvbHLH30‐VvERF70‐VvACS2 Module Orchestrates Ethylene Biosynthesis and Cold Adaptation in Grapevine

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ethylene is a key gaseous phytohormone that plays crucial roles in regulating plant growth, development and stress responses. However, ethylene‐associated biosynthetic and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms governing cold‐adaptation responses in plants remain poorly understood.

Genomic and Transcriptomic Analyses Provide Insights Into Erysiphe necator Pathogenicity and Grapevine Response

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grapevine powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Erysiphe necator, is one of the most prevalent obligate biotrophic pathogens in vineyards, posing a significant threat to grape production. Despite its impact, research on E. necator pathogenicity and grapevine responses remains limited.

Redundant Glycerol‐3‐Phosphate Acyltransferases Regulate Thermo‐Sensitive Genic Male Sterility in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thermo‐sensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) lines play a pivotal role in two‐line hybrid rice breeding. However, the availability of elite TGMS germplasm remains limited, and the molecular mechanisms underlying fertility transition of TGMS lines are still poorly understood.
