Engineering root development with high precision

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Conceptual framework for precise engineering of root development. Summary Root development is controlled by dynamic interactions between gene regulation, hormonal signalling, developmental history and environmental inputs, creating multiple layers of control that can be harnessed for engineering.

Duckweeds under salt stress: a meta‐analysis of growth inhibition in relation to morphological and physiological traits and a systematic review of molecular responses

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Salinity reduces duckweed growth responses. Summary Salinity is one of the main environmental factors limiting the performance of duckweeds and despite growing ecological and biotechnological interest in these macrophytes, there is a lack of quantitative analyses of their responses to sodium chloride.

Field generation of triparental sugar beet plants through polyspermy‐induced three‐parent breeding

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Polyspermy, the fertilization of an egg by two sperm cells, can generate viable triparental offspring in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. To explore the potential for three‐parent breeding in a crop species, male‐sterile sugar beet plants were grown alongside genetically distinct pollen donors carrying dominant, traceable selection markers ...

Root hairs and mycorrhiza represent alternative phylogenetically conserved strategies for belowground absorptive surface maximization

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
The phylogenetically conserved trade‐off between the investment in root hairs and mycorrhization formation. Summary Plants take up nutrients from the soil while investing in absorptive root surface or mycorrhizal partners. Root hairs – a major structure for nutrient uptake and cheap to build – increase the absorptive root surface.

Natural and CRISPR/Cas9 Editing Variations of Dual‐uORFs Synergistically Increase the Nutritional Value of Silage Maize Feed

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The precise enhancement of nutritional quality in silage maize is a core strategy for increasing livestock production efficiency. Through evolutionary analysis of multiple plant species, we identified two functionally synergistic upstream open reading frames (uORF1 and uORF2) within the 5′ untranslated region of the gene encoding GDP‐L ...

Multiplexed Engineering of Disease Resistance and Lodging Tolerance in Wheat Via a Single Xylan Modifying Glycosyltransferase

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Breeding crops with robust disease resistance often compromises yield, a persistent challenge in agricultural improvement. We report that modifying cell wall architecture through a xylan‐specific glycosyltransferase successfully breaks this trade‐off in wheat.

Programmable Domestication: CRISPR, Pan‐Genomics and System Level Engineering for Next‐Generation Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Conceptual overview of programmable de novo domestication from genetic diversity discovery to crop deployment. The framework connects diverse germplasm and genomic resources with three trajectory pathways. Adaptive Rescue, Agronomic Refinement and Novel Chassis defined by biological distance, engineering complexity and breeding objectives.

Lessons From CABBI: Advancing Vegetative Oil Production in C4 Crops Through a Vertically Integrated DBTL Framework

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global demand for renewable liquid fuels and biobased chemicals has intensified interest in engineering high‐biomass C4 grasses to accumulate triacylglycerol (TAG) in vegetative tissues. Achieving this goal requires coordinated solutions across molecular biology, crop science, chemical engineering, and life cycle assessment, disciplines ...

A Heat‐Inducible Rubisco Activase Safeguards Photosynthesis via Multilevel Regulation and Dual Function

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rubisco activase (RCA) is critical for maintaining photosynthetic efficiency under heat stress, yet its regulatory mechanisms and functional diversification remain poorly understood. Here, we characterize a novel heat‐inducible RCA family member (RCA1), which plays a pivotal role in mediating multidimensional thermotolerance in a tropical ...

SbWRKY62 Coordinates With SbERF096 to Activate Pterostilbene Biosynthesis and Targets a Xylanase Inhibitor Protein for Anthracnose Resistance in Sorghum

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sorghum anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum sublineola (C. sublineola) is a destructive disease leading to severe crop damages. Pterostilbene is a phytoalexin that contributes to defence responses in sorghum, but the transcriptional regulation of its biosynthesis remained poorly understood.
