The Role of Oxidative Stress in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Oxidative stress is involved in multiple chemical reactions that take place in different intracellular organelles: mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, autophagy, and aging, and can be influenced by exogenous factors: nutrition, physical activity, psychological status, environmental conditions, microbiome, and drugs.

Novel roles of sulfur metabolism in stress‐controlled stomata aperture regulation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Stomatal closure allows plants to conserve water by reducing transpiration during drought. Surprisingly, the assimilation of the macronutrient sulfur is intimately connected to the drought stress response. This Tansley insight will only briefly touch on the general impact of sulfate assimilation on the production of drought‐response metabolites.

Bioconversion of carotenoids into high‐value crocins using a marine sponge carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Carotenoids and apocarotenoids are widespread specialized metabolites, yet animals, including sponges, lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids de novo and must obtain them from dietary or microbial sources. The roles of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) in marine animals remain largely unexplored. A CCD from the marine sponge Suberites

Guard cell photorespiration controls stomata behavior and development

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
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.

Cyclophilin A‐mediated cis/trans isomerization modulates RIN4 to control intracellular rhizobial infection in legumes

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary In most legume‐rhizobium symbioses, rhizobial colonization occurs through host‐derived intracellular infection threads, which enable rhizobial recruitment while presumably modulating the host immune system to prevent rejection. To investigate post‐translational regulation of immune responses during rhizobial infection, we focused on Cyclophilin

Genetic Basis of UV Bullseye Size Variations in Turnip Rape (Brassica rapa subsp. oleifera)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Floral ultraviolet (UV) patterns are visible to bee pollinators and can affect crop yields by impacting pollinator visitation. However, the mechanisms underlying the intraspecific variations of UV bullseye size remain largely unknown. We analyse the ecological consequences and genetic basis of floral UV bullseye size variation in an important ...

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.
