A Mobile Glycosylation Locus Modulates Cell Wall Architecture in Lactobacillus crispatus

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Serial propagation of Lactobacillus crispatus triggers transposon‐mediated loss of a mobile glycosylation gene fragment (GT3), destabilising the glycosyltransferase complex and remodelling the cell wall with 20%–25% thinner peptidoglycan, while sugar composition remains unchanged.

Effects of Asaia spp. on the development, size and associated microbiomes of two mosquito species of medical importance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Addition of Asaia species to the rearing water of mosquito larvae can affect the structure of the larval microbiome, although these bacteria do not persist to the pupal stage. Asaia inoculation can increase the adult size of males of two mosquito species. The impact of Asaia inoculation on development rate and female size depended on bacterial and host

Development of In Vitro and In Planta Strategies for Efficient Production of High‐Value Steviol Glycosides

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Steviol glycosides (SGs) are a group of sweet‐tasting diterpene glycosides found in Stevia rebaudiana. Production of high‐value SGs, Rebaudioside D (Reb D) and Reb M, is limited by inefficient conversion of Reb A to Reb D and stevioside to Reb E.

Simultaneous Overexpression of FERULOYL‐CoA 6′‐HYDROXYLASE 1 and COUMARIN SYNTHASE Leads to Coumarin‐Enriched Lignin and Improved Saccharification in Greenhouse‐ and Field‐Grown Poplar

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The urgent need for renewable resources has increased the interest in woody biomass to manufacture bio‐based products. However, lignin recalcitrance limits the enzymatic conversion of wood into fermentable sugars, posing a major challenge for biomass deconstruction.

In Planta Expression of Thermophilic GtGBE Mimics BEIIb and Modifies Rice Starch Structure Without Yield Penalties

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enzymatic modification using glycosyltransferases offers a green route to produce highly branched starch to enhance starch functionality in the food industry, yet this approach faces challenges including the high cost of enzyme production and inefficiency.

Multiplexed Engineering of Disease Resistance and Lodging Tolerance in Wheat Via a Single Xylan Modifying Glycosyltransferase

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Breeding crops with robust disease resistance often compromises yield, a persistent challenge in agricultural improvement. We report that modifying cell wall architecture through a xylan‐specific glycosyltransferase successfully breaks this trade‐off in wheat.

Evaluation of HSYA and Carthamin Accumulation in Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) Induced by Chemical Mutagens (EMS and SA) in M1 and M2 Generations

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically cultivated for medicinal and dyeing purposes, safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) saw a shift towards widespread oilseed production after the 1920s due to the growing importance of oils. However, there is a renewed interest in its medicinal and dyeing properties today.

Integrated Analysis of Grapevine Responses to Winter Pruning Reveals Temperature‐Associated, Polyphenol‐Rich Xylem Occlusions

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perennial crops are continually wounded throughout cultivation. To limit pathogen infection and tissue dehydration, plants have evolved a range of wound responses that protect damaged tissues. These responses include changes in gene expression and the synthesis of protective compounds such as polyphenols.

Biotransformation of monoterpenols upon pre‐treatment with oregano essential oil vapour alleviates downy mildew susceptibility in grapevine leaves

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Pre‐treatment of grapevine plants with oregano essential oil vapour alleviates downy mildew susceptibility by accumulation of monoterpenol glycosides. Abstract Grapevine downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is a destructive disease that causes major economic losses as most elite grapevine cultivars are susceptible to this pathogen.

Almost 200 years of anthocyanin research: What we know, what we assume and what remains unknown

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Nearly 200 years of anthocyanin research reveal a well‐understood anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway. However, there are still open questions regarding its evolution, functions and ecological significance. Abstract Flavonoids are frequently presented as health‐beneficial plant metabolites, and their subclass anthocyanins is best known for striking flower
