Cryptic CAM photosynthesis in Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia, Y. jaegeriana)

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Joshua trees are long‐lived perennial monocots native to the Mojave Desert in North America. Composed of two species, Yucca brevifolia and Y. jaegeriana (Asparagaceae), Joshua trees are imperiled by climate change, with decreases in suitable habitat predicted under future climate change scenarios.

Bacterial fitness for plant colonization is influenced by plant growth substrate

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Despite advances in our understanding of bacterial plant colonization, the extent to which growth substrate influences the molecular mechanisms enabling bacteria to efficiently colonize plants remains poorly understood. To address this, we used randomly barcoded transposon mutagenesis sequencing (RB‐TnSeq) in Paraburkholderia graminis OAS925 ...

Zymoseptoria tritici stealth infection is facilitated by stage‐specific downregulation of a β‐glucanase

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plant cell walls constitute a major defence barrier against pathogens, although it is unclear how specific cell wall components impact pathogen colonisation. Pathogens secrete cell wall‐degrading enzymes (CWDEs) to facilitate plant colonisation, but damaged or infected cells are often a source of cell wall‐derived oligosaccharides that trigger ...

Target of rapamycin signaling in pea embryos is dependent on glutamine but detached from seed storage protein biosynthesis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase is the hub of a eukaryotic master signaling network that integrates nutritional and hormonal signals into cellular activities. Most studies on TOR in plants have focused on seedlings, where TOR is most responsive to light and sucrose.

Optimization of carbon and nitrogen utilization for enhanced photosynthesis, biomass and yield by coexpression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, aspartate aminotransferase and glutamine synthetase in Brassica juncea

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Coexpression of genes involved in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism offers a promising avenue for improving crop yield. This study investigated the impact of coexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase [ZmPEPC (P)], aspartate aminotransferase [GmAspAT (A)] and glutamine synthetase [NtGS (G)] in Brassica juncea to enhance plant yield ...

Expression of a constitutively active nitrate reductase increases SARS‐CoV‐2 Spike protein production in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves that otherwise show traits of senescence

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary The production of coronavirus disease 2019 vaccines can be achieved by transient expression of the Spike (S) protein of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 in agroinfiltrated leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana, a process promoted by the co‐expression of viral silencing suppressor P19.

Metabolo‐Transcriptomics Analyses Reveal Alfalfa Adaptation to Combined Saline‐Alkali and Low‐Temperature Stress in the Field

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is known as the ‘King of Forage’ because of its high protein content and excellent palatability. Alfalfa productivity is adversely affected in cold regions with saline‐alkali soils. However, the mechanisms underlying the response of alfalfa to combined saline‐alkali and low‐temperature stress under field conditions

Natural Variation of a PPR Coding Gene SST1 Confers Salt Tolerance During Soybean Domestication

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinity is one of the constraints that adversely affect seedling growth and limit soybean yield. Identifying salt tolerance genes and profiling their allele variants are crucial for elucidating the mechanisms underlying salt tolerance in soybean and enabling the genetic improvement of salt‐tolerant cultivars.
