Identification of a hydroxycinnamoyl‐CoA double bond reductase (HDR) affirms multiple pathways for dihydrochalcone formation in apple

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Dihydrochalcones are secondary metabolites with manifold dietary and pharmaceutical properties, but with a yet unclear function in plants. The abundance of dihydrochalcones, particularly phloridzin, makes Malus ssp. unique in the plant kingdom. The gene(s)/enzyme(s) for the key reaction in phloridzin biosynthesis, the reduction in the C3‐bridge

DNA Aptamers Targeting BcSOD1: A Novel Strategy for Controlling Botrytis cinerea in Sustainable Agriculture

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea, the necrotrophic fungus responsible for grey mould disease, is a major threat to global crop production. Control strategies mainly rely on chemical fungicides, but resistance development limits their long‐term effectiveness. This study introduces, for the first time in crop protection, the use of DNA aptamers as a novel and ...

The MsNAC73–MsMPK3 Complex Modulates Salt Tolerance and Shoot Branching of Alfalfa via Activating MsPG2 and MsPAE12 Expressions

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing plant growth and survival is an important strategy for plants to adapt to different environments. However, the molecular mechanisms of the balance strategy are poorly understood. Our previous study demonstrated that MsNAC73 interacts with the promoter of MsPAE12, which positively regulates alfalfa shoot branching.

MicroRNA156‐SPL13B Module Induces Parthenocarpy Through the Gibberellin Pathway

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit development typically follows pollination and fertilisation. However, parthenocarpy, the formation of seedless fruits, represents an alternative pathway. The fruit that grows from the ovary under unpollinated and/or unfertilised conditions is termed parthenocarpic.
