Salicylate plant defences reduce aphid nutritional quality and increase predator consumption

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Salicylic acid‐induced defences diminish Macrosiphum euphorbiae performance and nutritional quality by reducing body protein and lipid content. Ladybird beetle predators (Hippodamia convergens) consumed more low‐quality aphids compared to high‐quality aphids, exhibiting compensatory feeding response to nutrient‐deficient p prey.

Recent advances in improving yield and immunity through transcription factor engineering

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Recent advances have demonstrated that modulating transcription factors can help balance growth and immunity, which is critical to achieving high yield and disease resistance in crops. This review provides a perspective on how specific transcription factors can be engineered to enhance growth and immunity simultaneously. ABSTRACT Transcription factors (

GENOTYPIC VARIABILITY OF TOBACCO VARIETY POPULATIONS ON ECOLOGICAL PLASTICITY

Юг России: экология, развитие, 2015
Intravariety genotypic heterogeneity on ecological plasticity in tobacco was revealed. The results give a new opportunity for ecologo-genetic monitoring and effective using of genetic potential of Nicotiana tabacum L ...

The road less taken: Dihydroflavonol 4‐reductase inactivation and delphinidin anthocyanin loss underpins a natural intraspecific flower colour variation

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Visual cues are of critical importance for the attraction of animal pollinators, however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underpinning intraspecific floral colour variation. Here, we combined comparative spectral analysis, targeted metabolite profiling, multi‐tissue transcriptomics, differential gene expression, sequence ...

Blue light‐induced stomatal opening is associated with species‐specific changes in primary metabolism but not with starch breakdown in guard cells

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Blue light (BL)‐induced stomatal opening has been associated with starch breakdown within Arabidopsis guard cells (GCs). However, whether this mechanism is conserved in angiosperms and which metabolic pathways are activated downstream of BL perception and/or starch degradation, remains unknown.

MYC2 and MYC3 orchestrate pith lignification to defend Nicotiana attenuata stems against a stem‐boring weevil

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Lignin is a key structural polymer that also serves as a potent defense against biotic stress. Herbivore‐induced, jasmonate‐dependent pith lignification in Nicotiana attenuata plays a crucial role in defense against the stem‐borer Trichobaris mucorea.

Two plasmid‐borne virulence genomic islands of Clavibacter michiganensis are genetically diverse and determine the development of wilt symptoms in host plants

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plasmids contribute to the efficient adaptation of bacteria to specific niches in nature. The gram‐positive bacterium Clavibacter michiganensis carries two plasmid‐borne important virulence genes, celA and pat‐1, necessary for wilting in tomato. The 88 C.

Pollination following grafting introduces efficiently Ocimum basilicum L. genes into Nicotiana tabacum L.

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2013
Tobacco is an important cash crop in the world. However, the genetic basis is comparatively narrow among the modern Nicotiana tabacum cultivars, limiting its potential for quality improvement. To introduce genes conferring desirable chemical constituents

Beyond conservation: the landscape of chloroplast genome rearrangements in angiosperms

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Chloroplast genomes (plastomes) have long been considered structurally conserved, but recent sequencing efforts have uncovered pervasive rearrangements that challenge this assumption. This review catalogues the main types of plastome modifications: large and small inversions; insertions and deletions (indels); gene and intron losses; horizontal

Molecular changes in agroinfiltrated leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana expressing suppressor of silencing P19 and coronavirus‐like particles

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary The production of coronavirus disease 2019 vaccines can be achieved by transient expression of the spike (S) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in agroinfiltrated leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana. Relying on bacterial vector Agrobacterium tumefaciens, this process is favoured by co‐expression of viral silencing suppressor
