Cas9 beyond CRISPR – SUMOylation, effector‐like potential and pathogenic adaptation
This Viewpoint explores the possibility that Cas9, beyond its canonical role in CRISPR immunity, may act as a host‐modulating effector during infection by Cas9‐encoding bacteria. Such a nucleomodulin‐like function could be influenced by eukaryotic post‐translational modifications, particularly SUMOylation, with potential implications for host–pathogen ...

The cytonuclear interactions during grapevine domestication
Analysis of the grapevine pan‐mitochondrial genome reveals extensive structural variation, and shows that nuclear‐mitochondrial segments promote cytonuclear interaction during grapevine domestication, offering insights into the effect of cytonuclear interactions on plant evolution, genetics, and breeding.

Dynamic 3D chromatin organization and epigenetic regulation of gene expression in peanut nodules
A 3D genomic map of peanut nodules revealed that the nodules exhibit chromatin reorganization, with 2% of regions transitioning to active states, altered topologically associating domains and enhanced cis interactions. The identification of chromatin loops that regulate nodulation genes links 3D genome dynamics to symbiotic nitrogen fixation.

The Arabidopsis bZIP3 protein works in conjunction with ASYMMETRIC LEAVES1 to facilitate the function of the CONSTANS protein in activating FLOWERING LOCUS T expression at the end of the day in a day length‐dependent manner. ABSTRACT Plants monitor daylength to synchronize their flowering time with their surroundings and thus maximize reproductive ...

Editing a gibberellin receptor gene improves yield and nitrogen fixation in soybean
Knockout of the soybean gibberellin receptor gene GmGID1‐2 reduced plant height; strengthened stems; increased the number of branches, nodes, pods, and seeds; and improved yield, seed oil content and nitrogen fixation. ABSTRACT Soybean is an important source of oil, protein, and feed. However, its yield is far below that of major cereal crops.
