OsSTK‐Mediated Sakuranetin Biosynthesis and Carbon Flux Orchestrate Growth and Defence in Rice
ABSTRACT Plants balance resource energy allocation between growth and immunity to ensure survival and reproduction under limited availability. This study reveals that rice cultivars with elevated sucrose levels boost resistance to the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae by accumulating the phytoalexin sakuranetin, regulated by the transcription factor ...

ABSTRACT Black pod disease, caused by a complex of Phytophthora species, poses a severe threat to global cacao production. This study explores the use of CRISPR–Cas9 genome editing to reduce disease susceptibility in Theobroma cacao L. by targeting the TcNPR3 gene, a known negative regulator of plant defence.

De Novo Design and Synthesis of Novel Benzoxazinone Derivatives Targeting Dihydroxyacid Dehydratase
ABSTRACT Dihydroxyacid dehydratase (DHAD), a key enzyme in the branched‐chain amino acid (BCAA) synthesis pathway, is a promising herbicide target. Currently, no commercial herbicides target DHAD, and no inhibitors are in development. Structural analysis suggests that coordination with iron–sulfur clusters and hydrophobic interactions with Tyr215 and ...

Domestication‐Selected Promoter Insertion in WRKY17 Increases Cadmium Sensitivity in Apple
ABSTRACT With increasing industrialisation and human activities, heavy metal pollution has become a serious environmental concern, particularly cadmium (Cd) contamination. This study reveals significant differences in Cd tolerance between wild apple (Malus spp.) and cultivated apple (Malus domestica).
