Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins in crops: Advances in functional mechanisms and breeding applications

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins coordinate nucleus‐organelle communication by modulating RNA metabolism within chloroplasts and mitochondria. This review highlights how they control critical processes like photosynthesis, seed development, fertility restoration, and stress survival in crops, and explores their potential as programmable tools for RNA ...

HSP101‐encoding NEO‐TETRAPLOID RICE FERTILITY GENE 1 regulates tapetum development through interaction with SAPK2 in polyploid rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In neo‐tetraploid rice, the NTRF1–SAPK2 heat shock protein–kinase module coordinates abscisic acid signaling with reactive oxygen species homeostasis to ensure timely tapetal programmed cell death and subsequent pollen maturation, providing a resource for the genetic improvement of polyploid rice.

Transcriptional adapter ADA2 regulates yield and end‐use quality through liquid–liquid phase separation in wheat

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The transcriptional adapter ADA2 interacts with the histone acetyltransferase GCN5 to regulate starch and storage protein content in wheat grains through histone acetylation. ADA2 undergoes phase separation and is modulated by GCN5, affecting histone acetyltransferase activity and gene transcription.

Effect of nitrogen fertilizer on distribution of starch granules in different regions of wheat endosperm

Crop Journal, 2014
This study provided visual evidence of a nitrogen effect on starch granules (SGs) in wheat endosperm. Winter wheat (Titicum aestivum L.) cultivar Xumai 30 was cultured under no nitrogen (control) and 240 kg ha− 1 of nitrogen applied at the booting stage.

OsCPN10a, cooperating with OsCPN20 and OsHSP60‐3B negatively regulate ABA signaling and enhance seed storability in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Abscisic acid signaling homeostasis is essential for seed storability. The molecular chaperone OsCPN10a enhances rice seed storability by forming a trimeric chaperone complex with OsCPN20‐OsHSP60‐3B that attenuates abscisic acid signaling via direct interaction with OsPYL10‐OsABIL1, thereby maintaining starch integrity and offering a promising target ...

Cadmium accumulation dynamics in the rice endosperm during grain filling revealed by autoradiography

Plant Direct
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the environmental pollutants contaminated in our food. Several previous reports showed that rice polishing cannot be efficient to reduce Cd content in white rice, implying the characteristic Cd distribution in rice grain.

Immature Seed Endosperm and Embryo Proteomics of the Lotus (Nelumbo Nucifera Gaertn.) by One-Dimensional Gel-Based Tandem Mass Spectrometry and a Comparison with the Mature Endosperm Proteome

Proteomes, 2015
Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) seed proteome has been the focus of our studies, and we have recently established the first proteome dataset for its mature seed endosperm. The current study unravels the immature endosperm, as well as the embryo proteome,

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

The IKU2/RLK7–MAPK–MINI3 signaling module controls endosperm cellularization timing to determine seed size in Arabidopsis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The phosphorylation status of the WRKY transcription factor WRKY10/MINI3, controls the timing of endosperm cellularization in Arabiopsis, thus regulating final seed size, offering a molecular understanding that could inform future agricultural breeding strategies. ABSTRACT Seed size is a critical factor in determining crop yield.

Reconfiguring biofortification strategies to transform food systems and address micronutrient deficiency of the 21st century

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how to make staple foods and horticultural crops more nutritious, including how artificial intelligence‐based screening of gene banks helps deploy nutritionally rich germplasm into breeding. Genome editing can help develop crops richer in minerals, vitamins, and health‐promoting compounds, supporting healthier diets and more ...
