Combined Analysis of Transcriptome and Metabolome Explains the Differences in Pulp Color in Jackfruit

Plant Direct, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The pulp color of jackfruit reflects variations in its nutritional composition and influences market preference. We investigated the mechanism underlying pulp coloration through an integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis of three jackfruit cultivars—light yellow “THA”, yellow “GTM”, and orange “YNH”.

Elicitor Specific Mechanisms of Defence Priming in Oak Seedlings Against Powdery Mildew

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 4455-4474, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Defence priming sensitises plant defences to enable a faster and/or stronger response to subsequent stress. Various chemicals can trigger priming; however, the response remains unexplored in oak. Here, we characterise salicylic acid (SA)‐, jasmonic acid (JA)‐, and β‐aminobutyric acid (BABA)‐induced priming of oak seedlings against the causal ...
