Trimerous magnoliid flowers with a unique set of floral and pollen traits from the Late Cretaceous of Southern Bohemia (Czech Republic)

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Morphospace position and phylogenetic placements of Trimeriantha monopolyada. Summary Floral structure is a key aspect of angiosperm diversity. Recent research revealed that significant floral disparity was already present in the Cretaceous. However, our understanding of early floral diversity remains limited, as it is directly dependent on the fossil ...

Investigation into Avian Secondary Fungal Spore Dispersal

open access: yes
Mycorrhizal fungi are an integral part of functioning ecosystems, as they form a symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi known as mycorrhizal symbiosis.

Accessory regions and horizontal gene transfer shape the evolution of clonal Colletotrichum nymphaeae infecting strawberry

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity of strawberry‐infecting Colletotrichum isolates. Summary Rapid adaptation in fungal plant pathogens is often attributed to sexual recombination, yet many important pathogens are largely clonal. We investigated how genetic and phenotypic diversity arises in the predominantly asexual fungus Colletotrichum nymphaeae, the main cause of ...

A root–soil association index reveals life‐history strategies of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Phylogenetic tree of Glomeromycota, including all studied virtual taxa, based on the small subunit region. The bar plot in the external part of the phylogeny depicts the log‐transformed arbuscular mycorrhizal root–soil association index, with values > 0 indicating rhizophilic lifestyle, < 0 edaphophilic lifestyle, and close to 0 no preference.

Ectopic Expression of ScALDH21 From a Desert Moss Enhances Cotton Resistance to Verticillium Wilt via the Modulation of Jasmonates and Phenylpropanoid Pathways

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic stresses, particularly Verticillium wilt (VW), lead to a global decline in cotton yields. Here, we demonstrate that ectopic expression of ScALDH21, a gene from the desiccation‐tolerant moss Syntrichia caninervis Mitt. and absent in angiosperms, enhances cotton's resistance to VW.

Negative Regulators of Rice Agronomic Traits: Functional Insights and Applications in Genome Editing‐Based Breeding

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice is the staple crop for more than half of the global population, and improving grain yield, grain quality, and stress resistance remain central goals of modern rice breeding. Among current precision breeding strategies, genome editing has created new opportunities for crop improvement, but its success depends heavily on the selection of ...

Interactional Endocytosis and Transmembrane Transport Promote Cellular Internalization of Nano‐Delivered RNA Drugs for Efficient Control of Crop Diseases

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea is a widespread plant pathogenic ascomycete that causes grey mould in over 1400 species and impacts global crop yields. Double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA)‐induced gene silencing is a promising technology for pest control, but efficient delivery remains a major challenge.

Staurosporine Targets Mitochondrial Regulator VdAtuA3 to Disrupt Mitochondrial Homeostasis to Control Verticillium Wilt

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondria serve as cellular powerhouses that generate ATP via electron transport chain complexes and orchestrate metabolism‐apoptosis cross‐talk, yet genes maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis remain underexplored as antifungal targets. In this study, a previously uncharacterised protein VdAtuA3 was identified as a novel interactor with ...
