Structure and sequence evolution in the pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) pangenome

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Eukaryotic genomes harbor many forms of variation, including nucleotide diversity and structural polymorphisms, which experience natural selection and contribute to genome evolution and biodiversity. Harnessing this variation for agriculture hinges on our ability to detect, quantify, catalog, and deploy genetic diversity. Here, we explore seven

Constitutive and inducible oleoresin defenses share genetic architectures and mechanisms in Pinus taeda

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The oleoresin defense system of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) protects trees from insects and pathogens and is an important source of renewable biofuels and chemicals, but the genetic basis of oleoresin production is poorly understood. We characterized the genetic architecture of oleoresin flow, resin canal number, stem wood terpene content, and ...

Phage detection by a bacterial NLR-related protein is mediated by DnaJ

open access: yes
Bacteria encode a wide range of antiphage systems and a subset of these proteins are homologous to components of the human innate immune system. Mammalian nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat containing proteins (NLRs) and bacterial NLR-related proteins use a central NACHT domain to link detection of infection with initiation of an antimicrobial ...

An antiviral jacalin‐like lectin gene contributes to nonhost resistance and host determination of potexviruses among Brassicaceae

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plant resistance influences the host range of pathogens; however, the mechanism driving this influence remains poorly understood. Brassicaceae species are not natural hosts of potexviruses, for reasons that have not yet been determined. This study investigated the molecular basis of nonhost resistance (NHR) to potexviruses in the Brassicaceae ...

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

open access: yesMolecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

Synthetic Raphanobrassica Genome Reveals Functional and Evolutionary Insights Into Clubroot Resistance Genes on Chromosome R5

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Clubroot, a severe soil‐borne disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, poses a severe threat to global production of Brassicaceae oilseed crops and vegetables. To date, there has been a serious lack of clubroot‐resistant germplasms in Brassica napus (AACC), necessitating the urgent development of novel disease‐resistant germplasm.

VqLecRKV.4 and VqBAK1 Modulate Grapevine Resistance to Powdery Mildew by Regulating Dynamic Balance of ROS

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grapevine powdery mildew, caused by the fungal pathogen Erysiphe necator, severely impacts plant growth and berry quality. However, the grapevine receptors and molecular mechanisms underlying grapevine resistance to E. necator remain poorly understood.

Methionine Synthase Positively Regulates Plant Defence to Both RNA and DNA Viruses and Is Useful for Developing Broad‐Spectrum Antiviral Resistance in Crops

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant viruses frequently cause severe economic losses in worldwide crop production. Developing broad‐spectrum resistance is the most efficient approach for controlling plant viral diseases. In this work, we found that the 17K protein of barley yellow dwarf viruses (BYDVs), which has multiple functions in viral pathogenesis including acting as ...

MdRLKT1–MdRAX2–MdMKS1 Module Positively Regulating Resistance to Cytospora mali in Apple

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Valsa canker (caused by Cytospora mali = Valsa mali. C. mali) is one of the most destructive diseases affecting apple cultivation. The scarcity of natural germplasm resources with high resistance and immunity underscores the importance of exploring plant immune regulation factors of disease‐resistant breeding.
