Role of brassinosteroid signaling in modulating Tobacco mosaic virus resistance in Nicotiana benthamiana

Scientific Reports, 2016
Plant steroid hormones, brassinosteroids (BRs), play essential roles in plant growth, development and stress responses. However, mechanisms by which BRs interfere with plant resistance to virus remain largely unclear.

Florigen and Florigen‐Like Genes Regulate Temperature‐Responsive Flowering in Tomato

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers that FLOWERING LOCUS T‐Like 2 (FTL2) and SINGLE‐FLOWER TRUSS (SFT) antagonistically regulate temperature‐responsive flowering in the tomato shoot apical meristem. High temperature induces floral repressor FTL2, which directly inhibits SFT to delay short‐day floral transition, while SFT reciprocally inhibits FTL2 to promote flowering.

An unbiased approach elucidates variation in (S)-(+)-linalool, a context-specific mediator of a tri-trophic interaction in wild tobacco

, 2019
Plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) mediate many interactions, and the function of common VOCs is especially likely to depend on ecological context.

Integrated transcriptomics and metabolomics analysis to characterize cold stress responses in Nicotiana tabacum

BMC Genomics, 2017
CB-1 and K326 are closely related tobacco cultivars; however, their cold tolerance capacities are different. K326 is much more cold tolerant than CB-1. We studied the transcriptomes and metabolomes of CB-1 and K326 leaf samples treated with cold stress ...

Spatiotemporal Transcriptomic Atlas Reveals the Regulatory Mechanisms Underlying Early Inflorescence Development and Sex Differentiation in Spinach

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
High‐resolution spatiotemporal transcriptomic data from male and female spinach inflorescences across four key stages first reveal the sex differentiation initiates at the four‐leaf stage and is governed by epigenetic regulation via the SpMSI1‐SpHDT2 complex.

Mutational analysis of the carbohydrate binding activity of the tobacco lectin [PDF]

, 2010
At present the three-dimensional structure of the tobacco lectin, further referred to as Nictaba, and its carbohydrate-binding site are unresolved. In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional model for the Nictaba domain based on the homology between ...

Electronic Nanomaterials for Plants: A Review on Current Advances and Future Prospects

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Global food security faces mounting challenges from climate change and rapid population growth. This review highlights the pivotal role of electronic nanomaterials–including metals, metal oxides, and carbon‐based structures–in enhancing plant photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience. Furthermore, it explores how emerging platforms such as

Reversal of an immunity associated plant cell death program by the growth regulator auxin [PDF]

, 2007
One form of plant immunity against pathogens involves a rapid host programmed cell death at the site of infection accompanied by resistance, termed the hypersensitive response (HR).

Transfer of the cytochrome P450-dependent dhurrin pathway from Sorghum bicolor into Nicotiana tabacum chloroplasts for light-driven synthesis

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2016
Highlight A pathway containing two cytochrome P450s and a glucosyltransferase has been stably expressed in Nicotiana tabacum chloroplasts. The functional P450s are enriched in the thylakoids and receive electrons from photo-reduced ferredoxin.

Harnessing halophyte‐derived allelochemicals and signaling molecules to enhance salinity tolerance in crops

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Soil salinization is a growing global challenge that significantly reduces agricultural productivity by impairing seed germination, growth, and yield. While conventional crops have limited tolerance to high salinity, halophytes are promising biological models for developing strategies to sustain agriculture in saline environments and ...
