Root hairs and mycorrhiza represent alternative phylogenetically conserved strategies for belowground absorptive surface maximization

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
The phylogenetically conserved trade‐off between the investment in root hairs and mycorrhization formation. Summary Plants take up nutrients from the soil while investing in absorptive root surface or mycorrhizal partners. Root hairs – a major structure for nutrient uptake and cheap to build – increase the absorptive root surface.

LysM Receptor-Like Kinase and LysM Receptor-Like Protein Families: An Update on Phylogeny and Functional Characterization

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Members of plant specific families of receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and receptor-like proteins (RLPs), containing 3 extracellular LysMs have been shown to directly bind and/or to be involved in perception of lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCO ...

Natural and CRISPR/Cas9 Editing Variations of Dual‐uORFs Synergistically Increase the Nutritional Value of Silage Maize Feed

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The precise enhancement of nutritional quality in silage maize is a core strategy for increasing livestock production efficiency. Through evolutionary analysis of multiple plant species, we identified two functionally synergistic upstream open reading frames (uORF1 and uORF2) within the 5′ untranslated region of the gene encoding GDP‐L ...

Simultaneous Overexpression of FERULOYL‐CoA 6′‐HYDROXYLASE 1 and COUMARIN SYNTHASE Leads to Coumarin‐Enriched Lignin and Improved Saccharification in Greenhouse‐ and Field‐Grown Poplar

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The urgent need for renewable resources has increased the interest in woody biomass to manufacture bio‐based products. However, lignin recalcitrance limits the enzymatic conversion of wood into fermentable sugars, posing a major challenge for biomass deconstruction.

Generation of Herbicide‐Resistant Alfalfa Germplasm via Prime Editing

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is the most widely cultivated forage crop worldwide, owing to its high protein content, balanced amino acid profile, and abundance of vitamins and minerals. However, weed infestation severely threatens alfalfa yield and quality.

FEEDING PREFERENCES OF LARVAE OF HERPETOGRAMMA LICARSISALIS (WALKER) (LEPIDOPTERA: PYRALIDAE) AND SPODOPTERA MAURITIA (BOISDUVAL) (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE), TWO LAWN PESTS COMMON ABOUT BRISBANE

, 1982
Larvae of 2 species of moth, Herpetogramma licarsisalis and Spodoptera mauritia were fed 25 species of lawn and pasture grasses and 32 other wild and cultivated plants. Leaves of few plants except grasses and sedges were ingested, but of these almost any

SbWRKY62 Coordinates With SbERF096 to Activate Pterostilbene Biosynthesis and Targets a Xylanase Inhibitor Protein for Anthracnose Resistance in Sorghum

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sorghum anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum sublineola (C. sublineola) is a destructive disease leading to severe crop damages. Pterostilbene is a phytoalexin that contributes to defence responses in sorghum, but the transcriptional regulation of its biosynthesis remained poorly understood.

The allelopathic impact of the cut aboveground biomass of Lolium perenne on the species composition and the aesthetic value of lawns [PDF]

, 2019
The study objective was to assess the allelopathic impact of the cut aboveground vegetative shoots of the selected lawn cultivars of L. perenne on the decorative value and species composition of the sward, including the share of dicotyledons. The studies

Field‑Based Dissection of Stomatal Anatomy and Conductance Reveals Stable QTL Under Drought and Heat in Wheat

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stomatal traits balance carbon gain with water loss, yet their breeding potential in wheat remains underexploited. This study investigated physiological and anatomical stomatal responses across 2 years of large‐scale field trials under water‐limitation and warming treatments. Across both seasons, stomatal conductance (gs) declined under stress,
