PROLIFERATING INFLORESCENCE MERISTEM, a MADS-box gene that regulates floral meristem identity in pea

open access: yes, 2002
SQUAMOSA and APETALA1 are floral meristem identity genes from snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) and Arabidopsis, respectively. Here, we characterize the floral meristem identity mutation proliferating inflorescence meristem (pim) from pea (Pisum sativum ...

A Novel AP2/ERF Transcription Factor Controls Trichome Initiation and Fruit Development in Cucumber

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trichomes, the hair‐like outgrowths of the plant epidermis, are critical for defence, reproduction and development. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing their initiation remain elusive. Here, we identified CsGL2, an AP2/ERF transcription factor, as a key integrator controlling trichome initiation and fruit development in ...

Designed Alleles of ZmRap2.7 Decouple the Trade‐Off Between Early Flowering and Yield Penalty

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flowering time genes often exhibit pleiotropic effects. In particular, early flowering is frequently associated with reduced grain yield due to a shorter growth period. This trade‐off poses a major challenge for developing early‐maturing and high‐yielding varieties, a key breeding objective in modern maize production. Here, we demonstrate that

Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

Cell‐Specific Expression and Cellular Compartmental Regulation in Camptothecin Biosynthesis

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant secondary metabolites such as monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) show tightly regulated biosynthesis and accumulation in specific organelles of distinct cell types. However, the cell‐specific expression patterns of anticancer MIA camptothecin biosynthetic genes in Ophiorrhiza pumila and the regulatory mechanisms of camptothecin ...

Post‐Translational Control of TaFT1 by WAPO1 Ubiquitination Shapes Spike Architecture and Yield in Wheat

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The florigen protein TaFT1 coordinately regulates heading time and spikelet number per spike (SNS), serving as a key yield determinant in wheat. However, how its stability is post‐translationally controlled in the shoot apical meristem remains unclear.

Novel Plant Regeneration and Transient Gene Expression in Catharanthus roseus

open access: yesAll Results Journals: Biol, 2015
Catharanthus roseus genetic transformation represents a real challenge due, in part, to the lack of regeneration capability and this species’ recalcitrance to genetic transformation. In the present work, we demonstrate the regeneration of C.

MYB Factors: Hubs of Plant Stress and Hormone Crosstalk

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MYB transcription factors function as main regulatory hubs that integrate environmental signals with multi‐hormonal pathways to synchronize plant growth, metabolism and stress responses. This review delineates the regulatory roles of MYB in the signalling pathway of salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, ethylene and abscisic acid signalling.

Natural Variation in GmSL20 Improves Seed Size and Quality in Soybean

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed size plays an important role in determining crop yield, yet the genetic mechanisms underlying the regulation of this agronomic trait remain incompletely understood in soybean. Here, we perform a genome‐wide association study mapping with seed length variations and identify a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 20, named ...

GhTTLL12 Coordinates With Transcriptional Regulators GhMML3 and GhMYB86 to Orchestrate Cotton Fibre Development Through Modulating Microtubule Dynamics

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microtubules (MTs) are crucial for cell division, growth, development and morphogenesis in plants. Cotton fibres are single‐celled trichomes that originate from the epidermal cells of the ovule, making them an excellent model for studying plant cell differentiation and rapid elongation.
