Systemic Delivery of Functional Proteins Into Plants Using an Engineered Membrane Translocation Domain

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protein‐based biopesticides and biostimulants are critical for the future of sustainable agriculture, yet their utility is severely limited by inefficient delivery into plant cells. Traditional cell‐penetrating peptides enable protein uptake but lack the efficiency, systemic activity and scalability required for crop production.

Psyllid Cysteine Cathepsins Directly Cleave the Outer Membrane Protein BamD of Citrus Huanglongbing Pathogen

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the causative agent of citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), is transmitted by Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri; however, the role of the insect's immune effectors in defending against CLas remains poorly understood. This study reveals that D.

Mechanical Strength: An Unrecognised Target in the Genetic Improvement of Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Leaf angle (LA) is a crucial agronomic trait influencing planting density and crop yield. Previous research highlighted the importance of cellular variations in the ligular region for determining LA, but the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear.

Metabolic Enzyme MeHNL11 Regulates MeCAS1b Transcription for Cyanide Reutilization in Response to Nitrate Deficiency in Cassava

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) exhibits exceptional tolerance to infertile soils and contains abundant cyanogenic glucosides (CGs). Previous research has indicated that CGs can serve as a significant reservoir of organic nitrogen in plants.

The ZmCOP1s–ZmCOL3 Module Enhances Late Flowering, Grain Yield and Grain Quality in Maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
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

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
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.

Drought‐Induced Abscisic Acid Accumulation in Soybean Roots Depends on NCED Gene Expression More Than Shoot‐to‐Root ABA Transport

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone in plant responses to water deficit. Although there is extensive evidence that roots can synthesise ABA, recent findings suggest that local synthesis in response to dehydration contributes little to the root ABA pool compared to shoot‐sourced ABA.
