Plants, 2018 When plants conquered land, they developed specialized organs, tissues, and cells in order to survive in this new and harsh terrestrial environment. New cell polymers such as the hydrophobic lipid-based polyesters cutin, suberin, and sporopollenin were ...

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.The redox‐sensitive transcriptional repressor ZmMS1 coordinates reactive oxygen species homeostasis and lipid allocation for pollen exine and anther cuticle formation. Loss or precocious expression of ZmMS1 causes male sterility. Constitutive overexpression induces dwarfism and semi‐sterility. These findings enable flexible maize male‐sterility systems

ATXR5 and ATXR6 restrict meiotic crossover formation within heterochromatin in Arabidopsis
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.The Arabidopsis H3K27 mono‐methyltransferases ATXR5 and ATXR6 repress crossovers within meiotic heterochromatin, are required for heterochromatin condensation and H3K27me1 establishment, and specifically influence the maintenance of DNA methylation in meiocytes.

Single‐Nucleus Transcriptome Analysis Provides New Insights Into B Chromosome Elimination in Sorghum
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT B chromosomes are supernumerary entities found in many plant species, with some exhibiting tissue‐specific elimination. In Sorghum purpureosericeum, extensive B chromosome elimination occurs during embryogenesis affecting most of the embryonic organs, leaving the B chromosome maintained mainly in limited regions of meristems.

Warming and Labile Substrate Addition Alter Enzyme Activities and Composition of Soil Organic Carbon
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 Warming can increase the efflux of carbon dioxide (CO2) from soils and can potentially feedback to climate change. In addition to warming, the input of labile carbon can enhance the microbial activity by stimulating the co-metabolism of recalcitrant soil

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As a major commercial legume crop, soybean ranks among the world's most significant sources of edible oil and plant protein. We previously identified a SEIPIN homologue (FA9) at the fatty acid 9 locus that promotes fatty acid accumulation in soybean.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Goji is recognized as a nutritionally rich superfruit with medicinal and industrial importance. However, its inherently indeterminate growth habit causes asynchronous flowering and uneven fruit ripening, resulting in harvesting inefficiency with high labour costs and low fruit yield.

A Guide to Elucidate the Hidden Multicomponent Layered Structure of Plant Cuticles by Raman Imaging
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The cuticle covers almost all plant organs as the outermost layer and serves as a transpiration barrier, sunscreen, and first line of defense against pathogens.
