A cytochrome P450 gene, GmSUR2a, confers submergence tolerance and improves yield in soybean by modulating auxin homeostasis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The key cytochrome P450 gene GmSUR2a enables soybeans to withstand destructive submergence stress. By lowering the level of the plant hormone indole‐3‐acetic acid, this gene improves soybean survival and increases field yield. It offers an important tool for breeding stress‑resilient soybeans, securing food production against extreme weather conditions.

Effects of Meloidogyne incognita on agronomic parameters and structural changes in eggplant (Solanum gilo Raddi) roots treated with Purpureocillium lilacinum

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Meloidogyne incognita impairs eggplant growth through gall formation with changes in root cell wall components and vascular tissue disruption, while the biocontrol agent Purpureocillium lilacinum mitigates these effects by reducing nematode infection. Abstract Meloidogyne spp. induce structural changes during the development of root‐knot galls, leading

Pectin dynamics of alfalfa pollen tube elongation in response to low boron based on proteomics

BMC Plant Biology
Background Boron is an essential micronutrient for plant reproductive growth, and its key function in plants is mediated through cross-linking with the cell wall pectic polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan II.

Pectin methylesterase inhibitors GhPMEI53 and AtPMEI19 improve seed germination by modulating cell wall plasticity in cotton and Arabidopsis

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
The germination process of seeds is influenced by the interplay between two opposing factors, pectin methylesterase (PME) and pectin methylesterase inhibitor (PMEI), which collectively regulate patterns of pectin methylesterification.

Pectin Methylesterases: A Review

Journal of Bioprocessing & Biotechniques, 2015
Pectin methylesterase (PME) is the first enzyme acting on pectin, a major component of plant cell wall. PME catalyzes reactions according to the double-displacement mechanism. In plants, PMEs can be classified on the basis of presence or absence of the PRO domain in pectin methylesterase into Type 1 and Type II.

Genetic dissection of southern corn leaf blight resistance in sweet corn through genome‐wide association studies and genomic selection

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Southern corn leaf blight (SCLB) is caused by the fungal pathogen Bipolaris maydis (syn. Cochliobolus heterostrophus Drechsler) and is a common disease of fall crops of sweet corn. Phenotyping for SCLB resistance is performed through visual scoring, which is subjective and may limit genetic gain for this quantitative trait.

Molecular insights and translational opportunities to enhance heat tolerance in rice

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Heat stress is an increasingly serious threat to rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity, yet the genetic and regulatory architecture underlying thermotolerance remain poorly resolved and fragmented across studies. Earlier research focused on individual pathways or specific developmental stages; however, recent advances now support an integrated ...

Cell Wall Metabolism of Two Varieties of Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) Fruit During Ripening

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2012
Two ber varieties differing in their shelf lives (Umran, 8 to 9 and Illaichi, 4 to 5 days) were analyzed for cell wall components, cell wall degrading enzymes and their isoenzyme profile at immature green, mature green, turning colour, ripe and overripe ...

Microstructural and Enzymatic Contributions to Texture in High Pressure Processed Fruits and Vegetables

Foods
High pressure processing (HPP) is common for beverage treatment, but its application to whole fruits and vegetables is more complex given their susceptibility to tissue softening and noticeable texture changes.
