Functional relocation of the maize chloroplast atpB gene to the nucleus restores photosynthetic competence to a gene‐edited non‐photosynthetic mutant

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary With the increasing food demands of a global population projected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050, there is an urgent need to increase crop productivity. Bioengineering approaches to boost crop yields include enhancing photosynthetic capacity, though relatively few efforts focus on C4 crop species despite their significant presence in agriculture.

ZmSSRP1, transactivated by OPAQUE11, positively regulates starch biosynthesis in maize endosperm

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Starch synthesis is crucial for crop yield and quality. This study reveals an O11‐ZmSSRP1 module of kernel starch biosynthesis in maize (Zea mays). We identify STARCH SYNTHESIS REGULATING PROTEIN 1 (ZmSSRP1) positively regulates amylose and amylopectin‐dependent starch synthesis in maize endosperm.

Dating the cyanobacterial ancestor of the chloroplast [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Cyanobacteria have played a pivotal role in the history of life on Earth being the first organism to carry out oxygenic photosynthesis, which changed atmospheric chemistry and allowed the evolution of Eukarya.

Largest genome assembly in Brassicaceae: retrotransposon‐driven genome expansion and karyotype evolution in Matthiola incana

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Matthiola incana, commonly known as stock and gillyflower, is a widely grown ornamental plant whose genome is significantly larger than that of other species in the mustard family. However, the evolutionary history behind such a large genome (~2 Gb) is still unknown.
