Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), threatens global banana production. Lignin reinforces cell walls against pathogens and lodging, yet its regulatory mechanisms in banana remain elusive. Through genome‐wide association study (GWAS) of lignin content across 184 banana accessions, we identified ...

H3K27me3‐Mediated Epigenetic Silencing of FgHMG1 Enables Fungal Host Immune Evasion
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) is essential for fungal pathogenicity, yet its contribution to pathogen–host interactions remains incompletely understood. Here, we profiled H3K27me3 dynamics in Fusarium graminearum during infection and identified 132 H3K27me3‐marked genes (FgHMGs).

Autoactive MtDMI1 Reprogrammes Immunity and Development in Tomato via Ethylene Signalling
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Common Symbiosis Signalling Pathway (CSSP) underpins interactions between plants and microbes, yet its potential for crop improvement remains underexplored. Here, we investigated the gain‐of‐function mutant SPD1 (MtDMI1S760N), which constitutively activates the symbiotic signalling pathway in Medicago truncatula, by expressing it in tomato

S2‐PepAnalyst: A Web Tool for Predicting Plant Small Signalling Peptides
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Small signalling peptides (SSPs) serve as crucial mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication in plants, orchestrating diverse physiological processes from development to stress responses. While recent advances in sequencing technologies have improved genome annotation, the identification of novel SSPs remains challenging due to their small size ...

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.
