Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rice cooking and eating quality (CEQ), a core agronomic trait tied to consumer preference and market value, is regulated by endosperm starch, protein, and lipid metabolism; this review synthesizes advances in its molecular mechanisms, focusing on genetic determinants and regulatory networks of storage substances.

Reducing the Sinapine Levels of Camelina sativa Seeds Through Targeted Genome Editing of REF1
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sinapine (O‐sinapoyl choline) is the major phenolic metabolite typically found in the oil‐rich seeds of Brassicaceae such as Camelina sativa and Brassica napus. It imparts a bitter taste to the seeds as a defence mechanism against herbivores, but it also renders them less palatable to livestock.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant biofortification with phytonutrients typically relies on metabolic engineering strategies known as ‘push’ (enhancing biosynthetic flux), ‘block’ (inhibiting competing pathways) and ‘pull’ (promoting metabolite storage). Here, we describe a novel synthetic compound, X57, that simultaneously targets biosynthesis, competition and storage to

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Orobanchaceae family, the largest group of parasitic plants, spans a complete spectrum from autotrophic to holoparasitic species. As a typical endangered holoparasitic species within this family, Cistanche deserticola is a parasitic plant that is widely harvested for traditional medicine in desertic regions, and of growing importance as a ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Enhancing both starch and protein accumulation is a key strategy for improving maize yield and quality. Achieving this goal requires an in‐depth understanding of the regulatory mechanisms that integrate these pathways. Here, we demonstrate that functionally redundant subclass III SNF1‐related protein kinase 2s (SnRK2s) act as central ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tobamoviruses establish viral replication organelles (VROs) on the host endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for their replication, a process demanding substantial different types of lipids. However, how viruses efficiently transfer these lipids from other compartments like chloroplasts remains incompletely understood.

Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.
