ZmSSRP1, transactivated by OPAQUE11, positively regulates starch biosynthesis in maize endosperm

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 3770-3782, September 2025.
Summary Starch synthesis is crucial for crop yield and quality. This study reveals an O11‐ZmSSRP1 module of kernel starch biosynthesis in maize (Zea mays). We identify STARCH SYNTHESIS REGULATING PROTEIN 1 (ZmSSRP1) positively regulates amylose and amylopectin‐dependent starch synthesis in maize endosperm.

A module with multiple transcription factors positively regulates powdery mildew resistance in grapevine

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 3984-3999, September 2025.
Summary Erysiphe necator, the causal agent of powdery mildew (PM), is a fungal pathogen that can severely reduce crop yields. In this study, stable overexpression and silencing demonstrated that the transcription factor VqWRKY46 was identified as a positive regulator of PM resistance in grapevine.

Exploring potential strategies for haploid induction based on double fertilization in plants

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 4000-4016, September 2025.
Summary Haploid induction (HI), an indispensable procedure in doubled haploid breeding, has attracted increasing attention in crop genetic improvement due to its ability to rapidly fix desirable traits in a homozygous state, thereby shortening the breeding cycle.

Planthopper protein Nlsp5 is essential for salivary sheath formation and acts as a HAMP inducing plant resistance to insects

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 4076-4091, September 2025.
Summary During herbivore feeding, plants can recognize herbivore‐associated molecular patterns (HAMPs) present in saliva and trigger pattern‐triggered immunity (PTI). Piercing‐sucking insects secrete gel saliva, forming salivary sheaths that aid in feeding. However, the role of proteins within these salivary sheaths in modulating plant defences remains
