Breeding triple‐advantage cottonseed with higher yield, enhanced nutrition, and reduced toxicity by redirecting terpenoid metabolism to astaxanthin

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 2839-2851, July 2025.
Summary Cottonseed is a valuable source of edible oil and protein, but its utilization is limited by high gossypol content. In this study, we engineered cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) to biosynthesize astaxanthin through both single‐gene (CrBKT) and multi‐gene (CrBKT, ZmPSY1, PaCrtI, HpCrtZ) expression strategies.

Flowering Plant Microbiomes and Network Interactions Across an Urban Gradient

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2025.
Analysis of plant anthosphere microbiomes reveals that the bacterial and fungal microbiomes are diverse in the plant community with no effect of urbanisation. Highly prevalent and abundant bacteria and fungi tend to significantly co‐occur. Detections of rbcL in flower‐plant networks identify Paulownia sp.

A New Leaf Blight of Rice Caused by Pantoea ananatis in India

Plant Disease, 2011
In September 2008, a new blight disease appeared on basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.) in fields in the northern states of India, including Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab. First symptoms were water-soaked lesions at the tip of rice leaves. Lesions eventually spread down the leaf blades.

Navigating the challenges of engineering composite specialized metabolite pathways in plants

The Plant Journal, Volume 121, Issue 6, March 2025.
SUMMARY Plants are a valuable source of diverse specialized metabolites with numerous applications. However, these compounds are often produced in limited quantities, particularly under unfavorable ecological conditions. To achieve sufficient levels of target metabolites, alternative strategies such as pathway engineering in heterologous systems like ...

Effectiveness of oregano essential oil vapor on shelf life extension of kai lan (Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra)

Journal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract This study compared the antimicrobial activity of several essential oils (EOs) vapor against food spoilage microbiota and further investigated the potential of EO vapor in extending the shelf life of leafy green vegetables. Oregano EO vapor showed stronger antimicrobial activities than basil and clove EO vapors against common spoilage‐causing ...

A Review on the Effect of Plow Depth, Land Preparation Method, and Planting Date on the Quality and Yield of Onion Bulbs and Seeds

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a biennial monocotyledonous crop belonging to the Alliaceae family. Although it is cultivated annually for bulb production, it is grown biennially for seed production. Several agronomic factors—particularly tillage depth, land preparation methods, and planting dates—significantly influence the growth, quality, and yield of ...

Onion‐pathogenic Burkholderia species: Role and regulation of characterized virulence determinants

Plant Pathology, Volume 73, Issue 9, Page 2281-2297, December 2024.
Protein secretion systems and toxoflavin are well‐characterized virulence factors in onion‐pathogenic Burkholderia species. The tofIMR quorum‐sensing system and qsmR regulate multiple Burkholderia virulence factors. Abstract Members of the bacterial genus Burkholderia are a routine threat to onion production worldwide.
