The TaMADS2‐TaTBL21 Module Enhances Wheat Resistance to Stripe Rust by Activating TaGKL‐Mediated Immunity

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wheat stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, Pst) poses a catastrophic threat to global food security. While MADS‐box transcription factors regulate development and abiotic stress, their roles in plant‐pathogen immunity remain enigmatic.

Rapid Genetic Stabilisation of Transgenic and Edited Wheat Through Transformation of Immature Haploid Embryos

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wheat is one of the globally important food crops, but its genetically modified application lags behind other staple crops due to its complex genome and low transformation efficiency. Normally, traditional transgenic and gene‐edited wheat requires multiple selfing generations for obtaining homozygous lines, which delayed the development of ...

Identification of Three POMCa Genotypes in Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides) and Their Differential Physiological Responses to Feed Domestication

Animals
Diverse feeding habits in teleosts involve a wide range of appetite-regulating factors. As an appetite-suppressing gene, the polymorphisms of POMCa in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) were validated via sequencing and high-resolution melting (HRM).

Brachypodium SPEECHLESS2 Promoter Drives Expression of a Synthetic EPF to Reduce Stomatal Density in Sugarcane Without Pleiotropic Effects

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stomata are microscopic pores that regulate the exchange of CO2 and water vapour, making them a major target for engineering plants with improved intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE). Proof‐of‐concept studies have demonstrated the potential to increase iWUE by reducing stomatal density (SD) and stomatal conductance (gsw) by ubiquitously ...

“Targeted Sequencing by Gene Synteny,” a New Strategy for Polyploid Species: Sequencing and Physical Structure of a Complex Sugarcane Region

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Sugarcane exhibits a complex genome mainly due to its aneuploid nature and high ploidy level, and sequencing of its genome poses a great challenge. Closely related species with well-assembled and annotated genomes can be used to help assemble complex ...

The utility of NBS profiling for plant systematics: a first study in tuber-bearing Solanum species [PDF]

, 2008
Systematic relationships are important criteria for researchers and breeders to select materials. We evaluated a novel molecular technique, nucleotide binding site (NBS) profiling, for its potential in phylogeny reconstruction.

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.

TaRIP2 Positively Regulates Wheat Pollen Wall Formation Through MYB80‐Controlled Lipid Metabolism

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Male‐sterile genes and mutants are critical for hybrid seed production in monocotyledonous crops. Lipids are essential structural components of male reproductive organs, such as the anther and pollen. Here, we show that the pollen‐preferential gene TaRIP2 is essential for wheat anther development and pollen formation. RT‐qPCR analysis revealed

Variation in nuclear genome size in a freshwater snail model system featuring a recent whole-genome duplication

Royal Society Open Science
Conspecifics often share—or are assumed to share—nuclear genome characteristics like nucleotide composition and genome size. These fundamental aspects of the nuclear genome can themselves be the object of natural selection. We here provide the first high-

The PagDMG6341–PagWD40–PagPOLD4 Module Coordinates Base Excision Repair in ‘84K’ Poplar (Populus alba × P. glandulosa)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Base excision repair (BER) is a critical pathway for repairing damaged DNA bases in cells; however, the mechanisms of protein recruitment and interaction in this pathway remain largely unexplored in higher plants. In this study, we used ‘84K’ poplar (Populus alba × P.
