Spatial regulation of chlorophyll degradation in kiwifruit: AcNAC2‐AcSGR1/2 cascades mediate rapid de‐greening in the inner pericarp

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Changes in skin colour, as a visual cue for fruit ripeness, are important physiological markers in many crops including tomato, banana and grape. In kiwifruit, the skin remains brown during ripening, but de‐greening of the pericarp occurs to reveal accumulated carotenoids and anthocyanins in gold‐ and red‐fleshed cultivars.

Localising enzymes to biomolecular condensates increases their accumulation and benefits engineered metabolic pathway performance in Nicotiana benthamiana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary The establishment of Nicotiana benthamiana as a robust biofactory is complicated by issues such as product toxicity and proteolytic degradation of target proteins/introduced enzymes. Here we investigate whether biomolecular condensates can be used to address these problems. We engineered biomolecular condensates in N.

ERF100 regulated by ERF28 and NOR controls pectate lyase 7, modulating fig (Ficus carica L.) fruit softening

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary The mechanism regulating fruit textural changes has not been fully elucidated. Transcription factor FcERF100 showed rapid transcription repression during drastic texture loss in fig (Ficus carica L.) fruit ripening. Transient overexpression of FcERF100 delayed fig fruit softening and significantly decreased the transcript abundance of a key ...

On the Evaluation of the Asymptotic Fairness of Bonus-Malus Systems [PDF]

In this paper we try to evaluate the asymptotic fairness of bonus-malus systems, assuming the simplest case when there is no hunger for bonus.The asymptotic fairness has to be understood as the bonus-malus systemability in assessing the individual risks ...

Non‐coding RNAs in plant stress responses: molecular insights and agricultural applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Non‐coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in plant responses to environmental stress, orchestrating complex networks that finetune gene expression under both abiotic and biotic challenges. To elucidate this intricate ncRNA crosstalk, this review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of key ...

Determination of S‐Allele Combination in an Italian Apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) Germplasm Core Collection

Plant Breeding, Volume 144, Issue 2, Page 249-256, April 2025.
ABSTRACT An S‐RNase‐based gametophytic self‐incompatibility (GSI) system, a mechanism that forces outbreeding by preventing self‐fertilization, characterizes the genus Malus. Knowledge of the self‐incompatibility (S) genotypes of apple cultivars is crucial for choosing pollen donors for fruit production and breeding.

New Integrative Vectors Increase Agrobacterium rhizogenes Transformation and Help Characterise Roles for Soybean GmTML Gene Family Members

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hairy‐root transformation is widely used to generate transgenic plant roots for genetic functional characterisation studies. However, transformation efficiency can be limited, largely due to the use of binary vectors. Here, we report on the development of novel integrative vectors that significantly increase the transformation efficiency of ...

Factors determining chromosomal localization of transposable elements in plants

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
We review transposon chromosomal niches, and the functional consequences of their specific chromosomal localization in plants. Abstract Transposable elements (TEs) constitute a significant part of plant genomes and shape their genomic landscape. While some TEs are ubiquitously dispersed, other elements specifically occupy discrete genomic loci.

A Systematic Review of Alternative Host Species of Phytophthora erythroseptica, the Major Causal Agent of Pink Rot of Potato

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 605-640, April 2025.
The literature cites many alternative hosts of Phytophthora erythroseptica. However, evidence of host status is often insufficient, thus a polyphasic approach (morphological, molecular, histological and pathogenicity) is required. ABSTRACT Most published studies of Phytophthora erythroseptica, the major causal agent of pink rot of potato, have focused ...
