Sweet Potato Gene Clusters Control Anthocyanin Biosynthesis and Leaf Morphology
ABSTRACT Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) exhibits diversity in pigmentation and leaf morphology, yet the genetic architecture and regulatory organisation underlying these traits remain poorly resolved, particularly with respect to organ‐specific control.

Disruption of Asparagine Synthetase Is Associated to Increased Biomass in Lotus japonicus
ABSTRACT Asparagine (Asn) constitutes the major form of nitrogen translocated within Lotus japonicus plants. In this work we use knock‐out (KO) LORE1 mutants‐deficient in the asparagine synthetase gene (LjASN1), which is the most highly expressed ASN gene in plants grown under non‐symbiotic (NS) conditions, but much less expressed under symbiotic (S ...

The ZmCOP1s–ZmCOL3 Module Enhances Late Flowering, Grain Yield and Grain Quality in Maize
ABSTRACT Flowering time is a key determinant of yield and regional adaptation in crops and is largely controlled by light signalling. In this study, we identified two maize orthologs of Arabidopsis CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1), designated ZmCOP1a and ZmCOP1b, which activate light signalling and reduce plant height. Loss‐of‐function mutants of

Single‐Cell CRISPR: An Efficient Strategy for Decoding Plant Cis‐Regulatory Complexity
ABSTRACT The generation of complex traits involves the coordinated interplay of multiple gene networks. Elucidating the function of transcriptional cis‐regulatory elements (CREs) in regulating gene expression is crucial for understanding complex regulatory pathways and improving our ability to modify macro‐phenotypes.

Two Aquaporins Mitigate Growth‐Defence Trade‐Offs by Facilitating CO2 and H2O2 Transport in Wheat
ABSTRACT The growth‐defence trade‐offs pose a major challenge to breeding high‐yield and disease‐resistant crops. Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and other small compounds, therefore regulating the growth‐defence trade‐offs.

Spatial Regulation of Silicon Accumulation in Peduncle Confers Sheathed Spike in Barley
ABSTRACT Peduncle, the uppermost internode in cereals, connects the stem to the inflorescence and is critical for the transport of water, nutrients and photosynthetic assimilates. While peduncle length associates with plant height and its elongation is primarily regulated by phytohormones, we report a previously unrecognized mechanism involving the ...
