The Structure of Carboxyl Methyltransferase Provides Insights Into the Substrate Specificity and Divergent Evolution of Iridoid

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iridoids constitute a prominent class of plant‐specialised metabolites, with carbocyclic iridoids (e.g., geniposide) and secoiridoids (e.g., loganin) diverging early in their biosynthetic pathways. This divergence is marked by substrate‐specific carboxyl methyltransferases—GjGAMT and CrLAMT—that catalyse the decisive methylation step in ...

Beyond Starch: Towards a Scalable Potato Platform for Molecular Farming

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Re‐engineering potato as a biosafe and host‐optimised platform for plant molecular farming by integrating intrinsic biological traits with targeted engineering strategies. ABSTRACT Thirty‐five years after the first recombinant protein was produced in potato and 30 years after clinical trials of edible vaccines from its tubers, the crop is being ...

Toward Early-type Eclipsing Binaries as Extragalactic Milestones: First Calibration of the SBCR from O- and B-type Stars in Detached Eclipsing Binaries

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
To measure precise distances beyond the Magellanic Clouds and determine an accurate value of the Hubble constant, eclipsing binary systems composed of early-type stars can play a crucial role.

OsRALF26 Serves as an Endogenous Signal Recognised by XA21 to Promote Robust and Distal Resistance in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant immune receptors detect both microbe‐derived and endogenous signals to activate defences. XA21, a rice immune receptor, confers strong race‐specific resistance to a subset of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) strains by recognising the microbial sulphated peptide RaxX.

Rice EMF3 Alleles Adjust Flower Opening Time to Enhance the Seed Setting Rate Under High Temperature Stress

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To safeguard global food security against rapid population growth and a warming world, the effective genetic improvement of cereals is imperative. Flower opening time (FOT) critically affects the seed setting rate. In this study, we identified a gene, EARLY‐MORNING FLOWERING 3 (EMF3), in which single‐nucleotide substitutions strongly modulate ...

Detection of Four Intermediate-mass Stars with Cool Companions in Low Mass Ratio Eclipsing Binaries

The Astrophysical Journal
According to the core fragmentation and dynamical capture theories of binary formation, binaries tend to form with nearly equal masses. The detection of intermediate-mass binaries with low mass ratios challenges these theories, as such binaries may form ...
