Expression of mannanase and glucanases in lettuce chloroplasts and functional evaluation of enzyme cocktail against Candida albicans in oral cancer patient samples

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Transplastomic expression of mannanase in lettuce and tobacco chloroplasts and inhibition of Candida albicans from oral cancer patient samples by plant enzyme cocktail. Summary Candida albicans is a human pathogen responsible for several diseases. C. albicans cell wall contains chitin, glucan and mannan.

The Mitochondrial Genome of Cathaya argyrophylla Reaches 18.99 Mb: Analysis of Super-Large Mitochondrial Genomes in Pinaceae [PDF]

arXiv
Mitochondrial genomes in the Pinaceae family are notable for their large size and structural complexity. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the mitochondrial genome of Cathaya argyrophylla, an endangered and endemic Pinaceae species, uncovering a genome size of 18.99 Mb, meaning the largest mitochondrial genome reported to date.

Genetic diversity and adaptive evolutionary history of Sapindus in China: insights from whole‐genome resequencing of 100 representative individuals

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Sapindus is an important forest tree genus with utility in biodiesel, biomedicine, biochemistry and forestry. Similar to many perennial crop plants, its breeding is hampered by long generation times and lack of genetic resources. To understand the genome evolution underlying the important bioeconomic traits, we carried out a common garden ...

Spatial regulation of chlorophyll degradation in kiwifruit: AcNAC2‐AcSGR1/2 cascades mediate rapid de‐greening in the inner pericarp

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Changes in skin colour, as a visual cue for fruit ripeness, are important physiological markers in many crops including tomato, banana and grape. In kiwifruit, the skin remains brown during ripening, but de‐greening of the pericarp occurs to reveal accumulated carotenoids and anthocyanins in gold‐ and red‐fleshed cultivars.

Eukaryotes evade information storage-replication rate trade-off with endosymbiont assistance leading to larger genomes [PDF]

arXiv
Genome length varies widely among organisms, from compact genomes of prokaryotes to vast and complex genomes of eukaryotes. In this study, we theoretically identify the evolutionary pressures that may have driven this divergence in genome length.

Molecular changes in agroinfiltrated leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana expressing suppressor of silencing P19 and coronavirus‐like particles

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary The production of coronavirus disease 2019 vaccines can be achieved by transient expression of the spike (S) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in agroinfiltrated leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana. Relying on bacterial vector Agrobacterium tumefaciens, this process is favoured by co‐expression of viral silencing suppressor

Pan-genome Analysis of Angiosperm Plastomes using PGR-TK [PDF]

arXiv
We present a novel approach for taxonomic analysis of chloroplast genomes in angiosperms using the Pan-genome Research Toolkit (PGR-TK). Comparative plots generated by PGR-TK across diverse angiosperm genera reveal a wide range of structural complexity, from straightforward to highly intricate patterns.

Rice‐derived SARS‐CoV‐2 glycoprotein S1 subunit vaccine elicits humoral and cellular immune responses

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Since 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), the virus causing COVID‐19, has been spreading and mutating globally despite the expedited approval of many commercial vaccines. Therefore, developing safe, effective and affordable vaccines remains essential to meet the global demand, particularly in developing countries.
