ABSTRACT Rationale Bioactive (E)‐stilbenoids in vine extracts are prone to light‐induced transformation into the respective (Z)‐isomers and further degradation products, often resulting in a loss of bioactivity. We sought to study stilbenoid degradation beyond that of the well‐researched resveratrol due to the high diversity of stilbenoids in nature ...

Disarming the Pathogen's Metabolic Weapon: A Novel Route to Durable Disease Resistance
Two routes to sugar acquisition in pathogenic bacteria and corresponding ‘pathogen‐starvation’ strategies. TAL effectors activate plant SWEET transporters to promote sucrose efflux into the apoplast, which can be blocked by editing SWEET promoter effector‐binding elements to prevent TAL binding. The T3E AvrBs2 converts host UDP‐galactose into xanthosan,

A Roadmap for Breeding Sweet Tomatoes
This graphical abstract outlines four breeding strategies for enhancing sugar content and sweetness in tomato fruits: (1) Identification of key genes and functional variant loci regulating fruit sugar accumulation through systematic germplasm collection, genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), map‐based cloning, and reverse genetics approaches.

Identification of potential marker genes for Trichoderma harzianum strains with high antagonistic potential against Rhizoctonia solani by a rapid subtraction hybridization approach [PDF]
A rapid subtraction hybridization approach was used to isolate genes differentially expressed during mycelial contact between Trichoderma harzianum (Hypocrea lixii) and Rhizoctonia solani, and could serve as marker genes for selection of ...

Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a foundation of global food security, faces persistent threats from stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). The pathogen thrives in cool and humid environments and regularly causes epidemics that lead to severe yield losses.

Guard cell photorespiration controls stomata behavior and development
Summary Photorespiration is traditionally viewed as a limitation to photosynthetic efficiency. However, it is mandatory for safeguarding the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle from inhibitory byproducts through Rubisco‐mediated oxidative misfire and is tightly integrated with primary metabolism.

Loss of the cargo receptor Erv14 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae results in sensitivity to calcium, zinc, neutral extracellular pH, and elevated temperature. Furthermore, cells deleted in the ERV14 exhibits vacuolar fragmentation, enlarged lipid droplets, and metabolic alterations. Ruiz Salas, J. L. (2026) https://BioRender.com/b65g523. ABSTRACT Erv14 is a

Exploring 6‐Hydroxy‐3‐Aryl/Heteroarylcoumarins as Promising Candidates Against Trypanosoma cruzi
New therapies are urgently needed for Chagas disease, and screening of 6‐hydroxy‐3‐aryl/heteroarylcoumarin derivatives identified highly selective compounds with potent activity against T. cruzi. In particular, derivative 1f showed submicromolar trypomastigote potency, dual‐stage activity, and inhibition of amastigote‐to‐trypomastigote differentiation,
