Insights from controlled, comparative experiments highlight the limitations of using BSMV and FoMV for virus‐enabled reverse genetics in rice

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Virus‐enabled reverse genetics (VERG) enables transient gene expression modulation in plants but its efficacy varies across species. We evaluated the efficacy of barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) and foxtail mosaic virus (FoMV) for virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) and virus‐mediated overexpression (VOX) in rice (Oryza sativa).

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes: Development, physiological functions, and prospects for improving crop salt tolerance

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review examines salt glands in exo‐recretohalophytes, in which epidermal stem cells differentiate into unicellular, bicellular, or multicellular salt glands. Salt ions are transported to the leaves via the transpiration stream and enter salt glands through symplastic and apoplastic pathways. Finally, salt glands actively secrete salt ions from the

The receptor‐like pseudokinase LENG stimulates chilling tolerance in rice by inhibiting the activity of the OsCRPK1‐OsGF14d module

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The rice receptor‐like pseudokinase LENG enhances chilling tolerance by binding to and suppressing the kinase activity of OsCRPK1, thereby preventing OsCRPK1‐mediated phosphorylation of the cold‐tolerance positive regulator OsGF14d. ABSTRACT Cold damage during the seedling and reproductive stages has a pronounced impact on rice development and yield ...

Enhancing tomato regeneration and genetic transformation efficiencies via exogenous chemical treatment and the GRF5 gene modulation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Supplementation of Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut Medium with phloroglucinol enhanced regeneration efficiency in tomato tissue culture. Heterologous expression of an Arabidopsis growth‐regulating factor gene, GROWTH‐REGULATING FACTOR5 (GRF5), in tomato improved regeneration and transformation efficiency, suggesting a synergistic effect between ...

Coupling of both a transactivation module and a double‐stranded DNA‐binding domain boosts Cas12i3 variant‐based cytosine and adenine editing in plants

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Fusions of a transactivation module and a double‐stranded DNA‐binding domain produced effective Cas12i3 variant‐based cytosine and adenine base editors, with improved C‐to‐T and A‐to‐G base editing efficiency and expanded editing window. Generated herbicide‐resistant rice germplasm by using these base editors demonstrates their potential for precise ...

Dormancy and enzymatic activity of rice cultivars seeds stored in different environments

Journal of Seed Science
The objective of this study was to assess the dormancy and the enzymatic activity of seeds of rice cultivars during storage in different environments. After harvesting, the seeds of two rice cultivars (BRS Ourominas and BRSMG Caravera) were dried in the ...

OsFKBP20‐1b stabilizes OsUPF1 and OsUPF2 to promote the degradation of aberrant mRNAs during dehydration stress

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The rice protein OsFKBP20‐1b protects key RNA‐surveillance factors from breakdown, so they can better eliminate defective messages. This RNA quality‐control boost reduces errors and helps plants survive drought, revealing a link between RNA control and drought tolerance.

Tandemly duplicated TaERF109 genes confer drought tolerance and post‐drought recovery in wheat

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Tandemly duplicated TaERF109 transcription factor genes in wheat modulate growth traits and enhance drought tolerance by regulating the TaMADS56 transcription facto gene, cytokinin biosynthesis‐related genes, and nicotianamine synthase genes, revealing the critical role of tandemly duplicated genes in the coordination of stress responses and ...
