LsMAPK6 Phosphorylates the LsCO Protein to Enhance Its Stability and Transcriptional Activity, Promoting Floral Transition Upon High Temperatures in Lettuce

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High temperatures significantly accelerate the timing of floral transition, namely, bolting and flowering, in lettuce, which results in severe loss of marketable yield. Thus, understanding the genetic regulation of floral transition is of great interest to plant biologists and lettuce breeders.

Disruption of Asparagine Synthetase Is Associated to Increased Biomass in Lotus japonicus

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
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 ...

Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.

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

Redundant Glycerol‐3‐Phosphate Acyltransferases Regulate Thermo‐Sensitive Genic Male Sterility in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thermo‐sensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) lines play a pivotal role in two‐line hybrid rice breeding. However, the availability of elite TGMS germplasm remains limited, and the molecular mechanisms underlying fertility transition of TGMS lines are still poorly understood.

Rice EMF3 Alleles Adjust Flower Opening Time to Enhance the Seed Setting Rate Under High Temperature Stress

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To safeguard global food security against rapid population growth and a warming world, the effective genetic improvement of cereals is imperative. Flower opening time (FOT) critically affects the seed setting rate. In this study, we identified a gene, EARLY‐MORNING FLOWERING 3 (EMF3), in which single‐nucleotide substitutions strongly modulate ...

Multisite Field Evaluation of Oil Accumulation and Agronomic Performance in Grain and Sweet Sorghums Engineered for Lipid Hyperaccumulation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oil sorghum (OS) has been developed by engineering grain (TX430) and sweet (Ramada) genetic backgrounds to accumulate triacylglycerols (TAG) in vegetative tissues as an energy‐dense feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other biofuels. This study evaluated two TX430 OS lines (TxHO‐2, TxHO‐3) and two Ramada OS lines (RmHO‐1, RmHO‐2)

Field Trials and Baking Studies of Ultra‐Low Asparagine, Genome Edited (CRISPR/Cas9) and Mutant (TILLING) Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Field trials were conducted of wheat (Triticum aestivum) cv. Cadenza in which asparagine synthetase gene, TaASN2, had been knocked out, either on its own or together with a partial knockout of the related gene, TaASN1, using CRISPR/Cas9. Chemical mutagenesis (TILLING) TaASN2 nulls in the Claire background were also included.
