Haploid Mutation Mapping Identifies a Homoeologous Non‐Reciprocal Translocation Linked to Reduced Fibre and Enhanced Protein in Brassica napus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A key challenge for the genetic improvement of canola (Brassica napus), one of the world's most important oilseeds, is the limited natural variation for commercially important traits. The creation of new variation is hindered by the lack of functional knowledge about genes controlling these traits.

The tomato cytosolic fructokinase FRK1 is important for phloem fiber development

Biologia Plantarum, 2018
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants have four fructokinase genes, SlFRK1-4. The SlFRK4 is expressed only in pollen whereas the other three are expressed in all plant parts.

The Wheat CRK‐RLCK‐MAPKs Signalling Module Confers High‐Temperature All‐Stage Resistance to Stripe Rust

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As global warming continues, rising temperatures significantly alter the interactions between wheat and the stripe rust pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). Utilising high‐temperature all‐stage (HTAS) resistance to Pst is a novel strategy for breeding climate and disease resilient wheat cultivars.

Investigating biochemical and developmental dependencies of lignification with a click-compatible monolignol analog in Arabidopsis thaliana stems

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Lignin is a key structural component of plant cell walls that provides rigidity, strength, and resistance against microbial attacks. This hydrophobic polymer also serves a crucial role in water transport.

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.

Enhanced CO2 Coordinates the Spatial Recruitment of Diazotrophs in Rice Via Root Development

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the reciprocal interaction between root development and coadapted beneficial microbes in response to elevated CO2 (eCO2) will facilitate the identification of nutrient‐efficient cultivars for sustainable agriculture. Here, systematic morphological, anatomical, chemical and gene expression assays performed under low‐nitrogen ...

Gall responses to drying habitats: Insights from the community of galling herbivores associated with the superhost Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. (Caryocaraceae)

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Drying processes in the Brazilian palm swamps or Veredas, impact the gall community in adjacent vegetation by reducing the abundance of more sensitive galls, while more resilient galls acclimate to increased dryness by developing thicker protective tissues. Abstract Galls are new plant organs formed in response to the stimuli of gall‐inducing organisms,

Transcript correlation analysis for the identification of novel plant genes involved in iron metabolism and beyond: what next?

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Transcript correlation analysis allowed the identification of several key nodes in the complex regulatory network of plant iron metabolism. Abstract Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant genome to be fully sequenced, almost a quarter of a century ago, thanks to The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative, with contributions from scientists worldwide.

Multivariate trait profiling and genetic diversity in a global foxtail millet germplasm panel

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Four elite foxtail millet groups discovered from 260 accessions: perfect for breeding climate‐resilient, high‐yielding dual‐purpose crops. Abstract Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.), known for its climate resilience and dual‐purpose utility, is underutilized in breeding programs despite its agricultural potential.
