Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.

Genomic and Transcriptomic Analyses Provide Insights Into Erysiphe necator Pathogenicity and Grapevine Response

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grapevine powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Erysiphe necator, is one of the most prevalent obligate biotrophic pathogens in vineyards, posing a significant threat to grape production. Despite its impact, research on E. necator pathogenicity and grapevine responses remains limited.

Rice EMF3 Alleles Adjust Flower Opening Time to Enhance the Seed Setting Rate Under High Temperature Stress

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To safeguard global food security against rapid population growth and a warming world, the effective genetic improvement of cereals is imperative. Flower opening time (FOT) critically affects the seed setting rate. In this study, we identified a gene, EARLY‐MORNING FLOWERING 3 (EMF3), in which single‐nucleotide substitutions strongly modulate ...

Metabolic Reprogramming of a Phenolic Acid by a Plant P450 Monooxygenase Reverses Bacterial Immunosuppression

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Ralstonia solanacearum suppresses P450 activity to block VA‐to‐VanA conversion, leading to VA accumulation and compromised immunity. ABSTRACT Soil acidification often exacerbates plant diseases caused by soil‐borne pathogens like Ralstonia solanacearum, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. This study unveils a sophisticated metabolic

Unfolding Plant Defence: Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Signalling at the Plant‐Pathogen Interface

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, a conserved proteostasis network, has emerged as a central hub that reprograms plant immunity during pathogen attack. This review synthesises how plants harness ER‐stress signalling to mount multilayered defences and how pathogens have evolved counterstrategies to subvert these pathways.

Ectopic Expression of ScALDH21 From a Desert Moss Enhances Cotton Resistance to Verticillium Wilt via the Modulation of Jasmonates and Phenylpropanoid Pathways

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic stresses, particularly Verticillium wilt (VW), lead to a global decline in cotton yields. Here, we demonstrate that ectopic expression of ScALDH21, a gene from the desiccation‐tolerant moss Syntrichia caninervis Mitt. and absent in angiosperms, enhances cotton's resistance to VW.

Spatiotemporal Metabolome and Single‐Nucleus Transcriptome Integration Illuminates an Auxin Gradient Orchestrated by NtTAC1 Underlying Leaf Angle Regulation in Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Proposed model of TAC1‐mediated leaf angle regulation in tobacco. ABSTRACT Plant architecture is key to crop yield, with leaf angle being critical for high‐density cultivation. Although TAC1 represents a promising regulator of leaf angle for breeding, its molecular mechanism remains poorly understood, particularly at single‐nucleus resolution. Here, we

A stage‐dependent seed defense response to explain efficient seed transmission of Xanthomonas citri pv. fuscans to common bean

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Although seed represents an important means of plant pathogen dispersion, the seed–pathogen dialogue remains largely unexplored. A multiomic approach was performed at different seed developmental stages of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) during asymptomatic colonization by Xanthomonas citri pv.

CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Editing in Plant Immunity and Its Potential for the Future Development of Fungal, Oomycete, and Bacterial Pathogen‐Resistant Pulse Crops

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pulses provide myriad health benefits and are advantageous in an environmental context as a result of their leguminous nature. However, phytopathogenic fungi, oomycetes and bacteria pose a substantial threat to pulse production, at times leading to crop failure.
