Grassland age and local adaptation shape drought resilience across semi‐natural grassland populations

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Field sampling sites and mesocosm experimental design. Summary Increasing frequency and intensity of droughts threaten grassland ecosystems. Semi‐natural grasslands vary in age from ancient to younger sites established on former arable land. While species richness and composition are known to affect drought resilience, little is known about how ...

LUCID: An Integrative Approach for Target Discovery and dsRNA Design in Plant Fungal Pathogens

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
LUCID: A computational pipeline for RNAi‐based biofungicide design. ABSTRACT Phytopathogenic fungi pose an escalating threat to global food security and ecosystem stability, as resistance and environmental concerns diminish the effectiveness of conventional fungicides.

Host‐Induced Silencing of Rhizoctonia Solani 5‐Enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐Phosphate Synthase Impairs Its Virulence in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.

The BAHD Acyltransferase Gene Family: Evolutionary Dynamics, Biochemical Mechanisms, and Roles in Plant Stress Adaptation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
BAHD acyltransferases drive metabolic diversification in plants by coupling conserved catalytic scaffolds with regulatory flexibility, enabling stress adaptation and ecological specialisation. ABSTRACT BAHD acyltransferases constitute one of the most versatile enzyme superfamilies in plants, catalysing the acylation of alcohols, amines, polyamines, and

Chromosome‐Level Genome Assembly of the Allotetraploid Gynostemma pentaphyllum Provides Novel Insights Into the Biosynthesis of Ginsenoside and Gypenoside LVI

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gynostemma pentaphyllum, a herb used in tea and traditional Chinese medicine, shows geographic variation in its production of valuable dammarane‐type ginsenosides and gypenoside LVI between populations from Suining (SN) and Nanning (NN). To elucidate the mechanisms underlying this differential metabolite accumulation, a chromosome‐level genome

The miR171a‐TaSCL6‐1 Module Acts Downstream of miR164‐Targeted TaNAC21/22 to Regulate Leaf Rust Resistance in Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, poses a significant threat to global wheat production. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of plant growth, development and stress responses; however, their role in wheat resistance to leaf rust remains poorly understood.

Dynamics of Gene and Allelic Expression During Modern Hybrid Maize Breeding

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maize breeding has greatly improved yield through single‐cross hybrids, but the underlying gene regulatory changes remain unclear. This study analysed transcriptomes of landmark maize hybrids and their parents across developmental stages and planting densities.

Plant Peptides on the Rise: From Historical Insight to Future Applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant peptides constitute a rapidly expanding class of signalling molecules essential to plant physiology, mediating key processes such as development, stress adaptation, and immune responses. This review traces the history of plant peptide research, from the seminal discovery of systemin to the recent identification of non‐canonical peptides (

ZmWRKY29 Transcriptionally Represses ZmRBOHC to Attenuate ROS Production and Facilitates Gibberella Stalk Rot Susceptibility in Maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gibberella stalk rot (GSR), caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum, severely threatens maize production. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying maize resistance to GSR remain poorly understood. Here, we have identified ZmWRKY29 as a transcriptional repressor induced by F.

The Transcription Factor OsWRKY64 Interacts With OsART1 to Positively Regulate Al Resistance in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
A proposed working model illustrating the cooperative regulation of Al tolerance by OsWRKY64 and OsART1 in rice. Under Al stress conditions in acidic soil, the transcription factor OsART1 directly binds to the promoter of OsWRKY64 to activate its transcription. The synthesized OsWRKY64 protein then physically interacts with OsART1 in the nucleus.
