Separating Myths From Facts About Bread and Health
ABSTRACT White bread remains a staple food in many countries and global consumption continues to increase. However, there is an increasingly contentious debate, carried out particularly in social media and the popular press, about the adverse effects on health of factory‐produced sliced white bread as opposed to the whole grain breads made with ...

Summary Biotrophic plant–pathogens secrete effector molecules to redirect and exploit endogenous signaling and developmental pathways in their favor. The biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis causes galls on all aerial parts of maize. However, the responsible gall‐inducing effectors and corresponding plant signaling pathway(s) remain largely unknown. Using

Summary With the intensification of unpredictable flooding events because of global warming, there is a need to understand how root cells perceive and respond to oxygen deprivation. The use of high‐throughput single‐nuclei RNA‐sequencing (snRNA‐Seq) allows the examination of gene expression profiles in discrete cell types.

ABSTRACT Tanshinones, the major bioactive diterpenes in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, are widely used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. While jasmonates (JAs) are known to modulate tanshinones accumulation, the molecular link between JA signalling and tanshinone biosynthesis remains unclear.

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

ABSTRACT Microbial enzymes expressed in plants add new functionalities but occasionally trigger undesirable immune responses. Phanerochaete carnosa glucuronoyl esterase (PcGCE) hydrolyses the bond between lignin and 4‐O‐methyl‐α‐D‐glucuronic acid substituent of glucuronoxylan.

ABSTRACT The magnetic field is a continuously present environmental factor. It has been found that many species, including plants, can sense and utilise it. However, the effects of the magnetic field on plants and its potential utilisation, especially in crops, have been little explored.
