Focus on DnaJ protein research from Arabidopsis to crop improvement
Abstract DnaJ proteins (Hsp40s) are essential components of the cellular proteostasis network, functioning as molecular co‐chaperones that regulate protein folding, stability, and stress‐responsive homeostasis in plants. Beyond their classical role as Hsp70 partners, accumulating evidence demonstrates that DnaJ proteins participate in diverse ...

Abstract Improving seed size and weight is a major breeding goal in mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek). Improved genomic resources and precision phenotyping may enable more efficient selection for seed trait improvement. In this study, we integrated a deep learning–based segment anything model phenotyping pipeline with genome‐wide association ...

We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.

ABSTRACT Climate change‐induced heat stress increasingly threatens crop production, particularly when high temperatures occur during the sensitive flowering stage. In maize, successful fertilization depends on viable pollen, successful pollen germination and subsequent pollen tube elongation reaching the ovule.

The incredible vulnerability that reproduction poses for plant species in a warming world
Generalized plant responses to heat stress across whole‐plant and reproductive scales. Summary Temperatures are rising globally and threatening the persistence of natural plant populations. Elevated temperatures disrupt gametogenesis, fertilization, and seed filling, often at lower thresholds than those affecting photosynthesis, growth, or survival ...
