Advanced Science, EarlyView.FfRlpA2, a conserved Fusarium effector, functions as a protease inhibitor by hijacking the E3 ubiquitin ligase IbCHYR1 to degrade the resistance factor IbZnFR, thereby promoting Fusarium pathogenicity. Conversely, the high dosage Pro::IbZnFRHap2 allele was associated with resistance to root rot disease.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.GbSER02 with a single base change (SNP517G) encodes normal serpin protein and interacts with transcription factor VOZ1 to alleviate the repression of VOZ1 on GA3ox1 and promote GA3 biosynthesis. Further, GA3 induces the expression of cell wall loosening‐related genes and decreases flavonoid content, ultimately facilitating fiber cell elongation in ...
