Summary Plants orchestrate their developmental processes and responses to environmental stimuli through a sophisticated network of small signaling molecules, termed phytohormones. Among these, auxins are recognized for their role in promoting plant growth.

Summary Southern leaf blight (SLB), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus, is a major foliar disease of maize (Zea mays) world‐wide. A genome‐wide association study was performed to dissect the genetic basis of SLB resistance in maize. Functional validation was performed using mutant and transgenic analyses.

OsSTK‐Mediated Sakuranetin Biosynthesis and Carbon Flux Orchestrate Growth and Defence in Rice
ABSTRACT Plants balance resource energy allocation between growth and immunity to ensure survival and reproduction under limited availability. This study reveals that rice cultivars with elevated sucrose levels boost resistance to the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae by accumulating the phytoalexin sakuranetin, regulated by the transcription factor ...

ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes can form a hydrophobic barrier on aerial plant surfaces, which is essential for mediating plant‐environment interactions by providing protection against both biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, a cuticular wax mutant (gl) was identified and characterised in Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.), exhibiting a functional ...

ABSTRACT Common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) is one of the most economically important annual pasture legumes worldwide. Many factors affect the yield of common vetch; however, the genetic architecture and gene functions associated with common vetch yield have not been explored. On the basis of 115.53 million single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 18.55

ABSTRACT Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and restorer of fertility (Rf) are important traits in F1 hybrid breeding. However, the CMS/Rf system has not been used in tomatoes because of the limited resources of Rf lines. In this study, we performed mutagenesis in tomato CMS seeds and successfully obtained 13 suppressor mutants with pollen fertility ...

ABSTRACT Stalk rot, primarily caused by Fusarium graminearum (Fg) and Pythium inflatum (Pi), is a major maize disease responsible for significant yield losses. The molecular mechanisms governing defence against these pathogens remain poorly understood. To uncover key miRNAs and their regulatory genes, small RNA, degradome, and transcriptome sequencing ...
