Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Progress of cereal transformation technology mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Monocotyledonous plants were believed to be not transformable by the soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens until two decades ago, although convenient protocols for infection of leaf disks and subsequent regeneration of transgenic plants had been well ...

Distribution and Evolution of Forms and Types of Sieve-element Plastids in the Dicotyledons

, 1991
Sieve-element plastids may contain any combination of protein crystals (c), protein filaments (f), and starch grains (s), or none of these. All structurally distinct combinations (=forms) possible (s, cs, cfs, c, cf, fs, f, o) are recorded among the 2100

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes: Development, physiological functions, and prospects for improving crop salt tolerance

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review examines salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes, in which epidermal stem cells differentiate into unicellular, bicellular, or multicellular salt glands. Salt ions are transported to the leaves via the transpiration stream and enter salt glands through symplastic and apoplastic pathways. Finally, salt glands actively secrete salt ions from the

Deep evolutionary comparison of gene expression identifies parallel recruitment of trans-factors in two independent origins of C4 photosynthesis.

PLoS Genetics, 2014
With at least 60 independent origins spanning monocotyledons and dicotyledons, the C4 photosynthetic pathway represents one of the most remarkable examples of convergent evolution.

Characterization of the Rice PHO1 Gene Family Reveals a Key Role for OsPHO1;2 in Phosphate Homeostasis and the Evolution of a Distinct Clade in Dicotyledons [PDF]

, 2010
Phosphate homeostasis was studied in a monocotyledonous model plant through the characterization of the PHO1 gene family in rice (Oryza sativa). Bioinformatics and phylogenetic analysis showed that the rice genome has three PHO1 homologs, which cluster ...

Optimizations of Cas12a‐ and Cas12i‐based adenine base editors for efficient precision editing in the plant genome

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
A strategy coupling high‐activity nucleases with dimeric TadA‐8e optimizes plant Cas12‐based adenine base editors, boosts editing efficiency, and provides precise editors for crop breeding and genomics research.

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based
