Optimized TadA‐derived base editors efficiently manipulate mRNA splicing by A‐to‐G and C‐to‐K editing in potato

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Two optimized TadA‐derived base editors efficiently generate diverse splicing variants by targeting specific splice sites in potato. ABSTRACT Pre‐messenger RNA (pre‐mRNA) splicing is a critical mechanism for post‐transcriptional regulation in plants. Through alternative splicing, plants produce diverse transcriptomes and proteomes that finely regulate ...

Whole genome sequencing of historical specimens from the world's largest fungal collection yields high‐quality assemblies

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary High‐throughput molecular studies of museum specimens (museomics) have great potential in biodiversity research, but fungal historical collections have scarcely been examined, leading to no comprehensive methodological assessments. Here we present a whole genome sequencing (WGS) project conducted at the Fungarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens ...

Structure and sequence evolution in the pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) pangenome

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Eukaryotic genomes harbor many forms of variation, including nucleotide diversity and structural polymorphisms, which experience natural selection and contribute to genome evolution and biodiversity. Harnessing this variation for agriculture hinges on our ability to detect, quantify, catalog, and deploy genetic diversity. Here, we explore seven

Constitutive and inducible oleoresin defenses share genetic architectures and mechanisms in Pinus taeda

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The oleoresin defense system of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) protects trees from insects and pathogens and is an important source of renewable biofuels and chemicals, but the genetic basis of oleoresin production is poorly understood. We characterized the genetic architecture of oleoresin flow, resin canal number, stem wood terpene content, and ...

An antiviral jacalin‐like lectin gene contributes to nonhost resistance and host determination of potexviruses among Brassicaceae

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plant resistance influences the host range of pathogens; however, the mechanism driving this influence remains poorly understood. Brassicaceae species are not natural hosts of potexviruses, for reasons that have not yet been determined. This study investigated the molecular basis of nonhost resistance (NHR) to potexviruses in the Brassicaceae ...

Harnessing Bulk‐Segregant Mapping to Identify Trait‐Associated Genes in the Allopolyploid Model Plant Nicotiana benthamiana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forward genetics has been instrumental in identifying genes underlying desirable traits, yet its application to polyploid plants, many of which are key agricultural crops, remains challenging due to their genomic complexity. Therefore, we developed BenthMap, a bulk segregant analysis platform for high‐throughput trait mapping and gene ...

Dynamics of Gene and Allelic Expression During Modern Hybrid Maize Breeding

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maize breeding has greatly improved yield through single‐cross hybrids, but the underlying gene regulatory changes remain unclear. This study analysed transcriptomes of landmark maize hybrids and their parents across developmental stages and planting densities.

Multi‐Omics Insights Into Anthraquinone Biosynthesis in Rheum tanguticum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rheum tanguticum is renowned for its medicinal properties, including purgative, anti‐inflammatory and hepatoprotective effects, primarily attributed to anthraquinones (AQs). However, the molecular mechanisms of AQs biosynthesis have largely been hindered by insufficient genomic resources and functional genomics investigations.

Engineering a Gibberellin‐Switchable Dual‐Use Line Based on Ent‐Kaurene Oxidase Gene ZmKO1 Enables Two‐Line Hybrid Seed Production in Maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Male‐sterile systems are pivotal for maize hybrid seed production, yet existing systems are constrained by significant limitations. Here, we identified a novel single‐gene‐controlled recessive genic male sterility (GMS) mutant, defective in filament elongation 1 (def1), which exhibits non‐elongated filaments, unopened glumes, and non‐exserted ...

Psyllid Cysteine Cathepsins Directly Cleave the Outer Membrane Protein BamD of Citrus Huanglongbing Pathogen

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the causative agent of citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), is transmitted by Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri; however, the role of the insect's immune effectors in defending against CLas remains poorly understood. This study reveals that D.
