Functional Characterisation of HAIRPLUS (NtHAP) Genes Involved in Trichome Development and Specialised Metabolism of Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant glandular trichomes are specialised epidermal structures capable of synthesising, storing and secreting numerous varieties of secondary metabolites in different classes and are central to plant defence and the biosynthesis of high‐value metabolites.

Genetic and environmental regulation of arbuscular mycorrhizal responsiveness in petunia: Implications for breeding and trait selection

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Arbuscular mycorrhiza responsiveness varies strongly among Petunia species and RILs, representing a genetically determined trait with breeding potential that is nonetheless strongly modulated by environmental conditions. Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi enhance plant nutrition and stress tolerance, yet their agricultural use remains limited ...

Plant-mediated RNAi silences midgut-expressed genes in congeneric lepidopteran insects in nature

BMC Plant Biology, 2017
Background Plant-mediated RNAi (PMRi) silencing of insect genes has enormous potential for crop protection, but whether it works robustly under field conditions, particularly with lepidopteran pests, remains controversial.

Tobacco rattle virus vector: A rapid and transient means of silencing manduca sexta genes by plant mediated RNA interference. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundRNAi can be achieved in insect herbivores by feeding them host plants stably transformed to express double stranded RNA (dsRNA) of selected midgut-expressed genes.

Oxylipin biosynthesis genes positively regulate programmed cell death during compatible infections with the synergistic pair potato virus x-potato virus Y and tomato spotted wilt virus [PDF]

, 2013
15 p.-11 fig.One of the most severe symptoms caused by compatible plant-virus interactions is systemic necrosis, which shares common attributes with the hypersensitive response to incompatible pathogens.

An evolutionary hourglass of herbivore-induced transcriptomic responses inNicotiana attenuata [PDF]

, 2015
AbstractHerbivore induced defences are robust, evolve rapidly and activated in plants when specific elicitors, frequently found in the herbivores’ oral secretions (OS) are introduced into wounds during attack. How these complex induced defences evolve remains unclear.

Auxin‐Induced Nicotine Inhibition Is Mediated by NaARF5 Through the Suppression of NaERF1‐Like Expression and Interaction With NaERF1‐Like in Nicotiana attenuata

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2642-2656, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Nicotine is the most abundant alkaloid produced by Nicotiana species against insect herbivores. Although it has been known for decades that auxin can strongly inhibit nicotine biosynthesis, the underlying mechanisms have remained unclear.

Protoplast‐Based Functional Genomics and Genome Editing: Progress, Challenges and Applications

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 2183-2199, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Protoplast‐based systems provide a powerful and versatile platform for exploring how plants sense and respond to their environment. By enabling the direct delivery of proteins, DNA, and RNA into plant cells after cell wall removal, this approach facilitates precise molecular dissection of signaling, stress adaptation, and gene regulation ...

OsSTK‐Mediated Sakuranetin Biosynthesis and Carbon Flux Orchestrate Growth and Defence in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 455-471, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants balance resource energy allocation between growth and immunity to ensure survival and reproduction under limited availability. This study reveals that rice cultivars with elevated sucrose levels boost resistance to the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae by accumulating the phytoalexin sakuranetin, regulated by the transcription factor ...

The decoration of specialized metabolites influences stylar development

eLife, 2018
Plants produce many different specialized (secondary) metabolites that function in solving ecological challenges; few are known to function in growth or other primary processes.
