Growth Assay for the Stem Parasitic Plants of the Genus Cuscuta

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2017
Cuscuta spp. are widespread obligate holoparasitic plants with a broad host spectrum. Rootless Cuscuta penetrates host stems with so called haustoria to form a direct connection to the host vascular tissue (Dawson et al., 1994; Lanini and Kogan, 2005 ...

Sweet Potato Gene Clusters Control Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Leaf Morphology

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4500-4527, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) exhibits diversity in pigmentation and leaf morphology, yet the genetic architecture and regulatory organisation underlying these traits remain poorly resolved, particularly with respect to organ‐specific control.

Cuscuta species as potential ferroptosis-modulating agents in alcohol-associated liver disease: A conceptual systems-level perspective

open access: yesPharmacological Research - Modern Chinese Medicine
Introduction: Currently, alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is considered a major cause of liver-related disorders and mortality globally, with limited therapeutic options. Recent evidence has identified ferroptosis as a key pathological mechanism of

Diversification and deployment of PRR and NLR immune receptors in potato

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 1, July 2026.
SUMMARY Wild relatives of potato (Solanum tuberosum) have accumulated a wide diversity of immune receptors that provide disease resistance to a multitude of pathogens. The classical resistance genes in potato generally belong to the nucleotide‐binding leucine‐rich repeat (NLRs) receptors, which are well studied and widely applied in disease resistance ...

An acyltransferase gene that putatively functions in anthocyanin modification was horizontally transferred from Fabaceae into the genus Cuscuta

open access: yesPlant Diversity, 2016
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) refers to the flow of genetic materials to non-offspring, and occasionally HGT in plants can improve the adaptation of organisms in new niches due to expanded metabolic capability.

Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B‐Mediated Granulosa Cell Insulin Resistance Links Metabolic Stress to Aging‐Relevant Ovarian Dysfunction and Is Reversed by Gengnianchun

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.
Metabolic stress induces insulin resistance and upregulates PTP1B in granulosa cells, leading to aging‐relevant ovarian dysfunction. Gengnianchun (GNC) suppresses PTP1B, restores IRS1–AKT2–GLUT4 signaling, and preserves follicles, highlighting PTP1B as a therapeutic target for ovarian dysfunction in metabolically vulnerable states.

Induced defence by a root hemiparasite increases host plant resistance against future infection

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 1279-1288, June 2026.
Infection by root hemiparasites can increase mortality of parasites during future infection, indicating induced host defence mechanisms. Abstract European grassland plants are frequently attacked by root hemiparasites. However, little is known about host defence responses to parasitism.

Losing genes, gaining edits: how relaxed selection and inverted repeat expansion shape RNA editing in Schizaeaceae plastomes

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 5, June 2026.
SUMMARY RNA editing is a post‐transcriptional pyrimidine exchange process that alters plastid and mitochondrial transcripts in nearly all land plants. Although confined to organelles, it is directed by nuclear‐encoded PLS‐type pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins, each typically recognizing a specific RNA target.

Compensatory sequence variation between trans-species small RNAs and their target sites

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Trans-species small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are delivered to host plants from diverse pathogens and parasites and can target host mRNAs. How trans-species sRNAs can be effective on diverse hosts has been unclear.
