Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Genome-Wide Identification of Chalcone Reductase Gene Family in Soybean: Insight into Root-Specific GmCHRs and Phytophthora sojae Resistance

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr) is one of the main grain legumes worldwide. Soybean farmers lose billions of dollars’ worth of yield annually due to root and stem rot disease caused by the oomycete Phytophthora sojae.

Genome-Wide Classification and Evolutionary Analysis Reveal Diverged Patterns of Chalcone Isomerase in Plants

Biomolecules, 2022
Flavonoids as a class of important secondary metabolites are widely present in land plants, and chalcone isomerase (CHI) is the key rate-limiting enzyme that participates in catalyzing the stereospecific isomerization of chalcones to yield their ...

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of lipoxygenase genes in Tartary buckwheat

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2020
Lipoxygenases (LOXs; EC1.13.11.12) are widely involved in plant growth, development, maturation, senescence and stress resistance. LOXs have been studied in many crop species but not in Tartary buckwheat [Fagopyrum tataricum (L.) Gaertn.].

Genome-Wide Analysis of the AP2/ERF Family in Oily Persimmon (Diospyros oleifera) and Their Preliminary Roles Exploration in Response to Polyamines for Adventitious Root Formation in Cultivated Persimmon (D. kaki)

Horticulturae, 2023
The AP2/ERF (APETALA2/Ethylene−Responsive element binding factor) family genes play crucial roles in plant growth and development, and responses to environmental factors; however, this family has not been characterized in Diospyros species. In Diospyros,

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.
