Summary In plants, a key example of convergence is the repeated evolution of floral traits associated with the transition from outcrossing to self‐fertilization, often resulting in the ‘selfing syndrome’ (e.g. reduced flower size and loss of scent). However, potentially overlooked changes concern the pollen coat, which plays a role in different aspects

Three closely linked X‐chromosomal genes potentially control sex determination in Cannabis sativa
Summary Sex determination mechanisms in dioecious plants remain poorly understood yet offer an excellent model system to study genetic changes underlying morphological evolution. We investigated the genetic basis of sex determination in Cannabis sativa, combining quantitative trait locus mapping in a segregating population, comparative transcriptomics ...

ABSTRACT Male‐sterile systems are pivotal for maize hybrid seed production, yet existing systems are constrained by significant limitations. Here, we identified a novel single‐gene‐controlled recessive genic male sterility (GMS) mutant, defective in filament elongation 1 (def1), which exhibits non‐elongated filaments, unopened glumes, and non‐exserted ...

Plant Peptides on the Rise: From Historical Insight to Future Applications
ABSTRACT Plant peptides constitute a rapidly expanding class of signalling molecules essential to plant physiology, mediating key processes such as development, stress adaptation, and immune responses. This review traces the history of plant peptide research, from the seminal discovery of systemin to the recent identification of non‐canonical peptides (

ABSTRACT Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) correspond to nearly 60% of annotated rice loci, however their functions are largely unknown. In this study, we characterise a rice cis‐NAT (NAT1850) that completely overlaps with a rice‐specific primary miRNA, pri‐miR1850.

Beyond Starch: Towards a Scalable Potato Platform for Molecular Farming
Re‐engineering potato as a biosafe and host‐optimised platform for plant molecular farming by integrating intrinsic biological traits with targeted engineering strategies. ABSTRACT Thirty‐five years after the first recombinant protein was produced in potato and 30 years after clinical trials of edible vaccines from its tubers, the crop is being ...

ABSTRACT Gibberella stalk rot (GSR), caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum, severely threatens maize production. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying maize resistance to GSR remain poorly understood. Here, we have identified ZmWRKY29 as a transcriptional repressor induced by F.
