Evolution‐Inspired Engineering of Diterpene Biosynthesis via Chloroplast Genome Modification

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terpenes constitute the largest and most structurally diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, with critical roles in plant‐environment interactions and broad industrial applications. Although nuclear genome engineering of terpene pathways has been extensively explored, chloroplast genome engineering remains largely undeveloped, with most

Factors Controlling Runner Formation in Strawberries

Agronomy
Strawberry propagation relies predominantly on asexual reproduction via runner plants, making runners a critical organ for cultivation. Runners develop from axillary buds under specific environmental conditions.

The TaCOMT1A‐Synthesised Sakuranetin Is a Novel Biostimulant Enhancing Drought Tolerance and Yield in Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought stress is a major limitation to global wheat production. Here, we demonstrate that the wheat gene TaCOMT1A, encoding a caffeic acid O‐methyltransferase, plays a crucial role in enhancing drought tolerance in wheat. Overexpression of TaCOMT1A significantly improved drought tolerance at the seedling stage, as evidenced by higher survival

miR172‐AP2 Controls Age‐Dependent Regeneration Competence in Populus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants maintain remarkable regenerative potential, yet this capacity declines with developmental age, limiting clonal propagation and biotechnological applications. Here, we show that the miR172‐AP2 module serves as a central determinant of regeneration competence in Populus.

Unexpected Suppression of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Formation by Overexpression of a Key Cutin Biosynthetic Enzyme

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

Gibberellins on grape

California Agriculture, 1960
Tests with gibberellins indicate several uses in grape production. They were found to produce an excellent set in Black Corinth. They also greatly increased berry size of Thompson Seedless when the sprays were applied at the proper time for girdling ...

A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Complete submergence triggers synergistic regulation of gibberellin-abscisic acid balance and pith cavity development to promote stem elongation in Alternanthera philoxeroides

Frontiers in Plant Science
Submergence, a major abiotic stress in hydrologically dynamic ecosystems, poses severe challenges to plant survival and growth. Existing studies have demonstrated that plants employ a suite of adaptive strategies to tolerate submergence.

Methyl Jasmonate Seed Priming Mitigates the Defence‐Growth Trade‐Off and Tailors Plant Response to Specific Pests

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.
