Non‐coding RNAs in plant stress responses: molecular insights and agricultural applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 3195-3233, August 2025.
Summary Non‐coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in plant responses to environmental stress, orchestrating complex networks that finetune gene expression under both abiotic and biotic challenges. To elucidate this intricate ncRNA crosstalk, this review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of key ...

Alternaria solani Effector AsCEP20, Essential for Virulence, Targets Potato StFtsH4 Protein to Suppress Plant Disease Resistance

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 6, June 2025.
The effector AsCEP20, a key virulence factor of Alternaria solani, interacts with the photosynthesis‐related protein StFtsH4 to suppress potato resistance against early blight. ABSTRACT Alternaria solani is an important necrotrophic pathogen causing potato early blight. However, the pathogenic molecular mechanisms of A. solani remain unclear.

Update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 10: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2019

EFSA Journal, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2019., 2019
Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) procedure was developed to provide a harmonised generic pre‐evaluation to support safety risk assessments of biological agents performed by EFSA's Scientific Panels. The taxonomic identity, body of knowledge, safety concerns and antimicrobial resistance were assessed.

Mutations in the SWEET15 Sugar Transporter Gene Affect Response of Citrus to Huanglongbing Disease and Citrus Canker

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 5, May 2025.
Assays of knockouts in several SWEET genes show that SWEET15 mutations reduce levels of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri and “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” in infected citrus plants, suggesting that SWEET15 is a susceptibility gene. ABSTRACT Bacterial diseases like huanglongbing (HLB) and citrus canker severely impact citrus production. HLB, caused by “

All Roads Lead to Rome: Pathways to Engineering Disease Resistance in Plants

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, February 3, 2025.
Crops lost to diseases necessitate a deeper understanding of plant immunity and the development of disease resistance. Here, the arms‐race between plants and pathogens is briefly described, and a comprehensive overview of the current and emerging strategies for engineering disease resistance in plants is provided.

The SUMO‐conjugating enzyme OsSCE1a from wild rice regulates the functional stay‐green trait in rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 615-631, February 2025.
Summary The functional stay‐green trait is a major goal of rice breeding. Here, we cloned OsSCE1a encoding SUMO‐conjugating enzyme from Yuanjiang common wild rice, which simultaneously regulates the functional stay‐green trait and growth duration. Low expression or knocking out OsSCE1a corresponded to increased chlorophyll content, photosynthetic ...

Comparative Analysis of Mitogenomes in Leafhopper Tribe Deltocephalini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae): Structural Conservatism and Phylogeny

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
In this study, we sequenced the complete mitogenomes of 14 species belonging to four genera of tribe Deltocephalini from China and compared them with the two previously reported mitogenomes for this tribe. Phylogenetic analysis of different combinations of protein‐coding and ribosomal genes using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference under ...

Sustainable sweetpotato production in the United States: Current status, challenges, and opportunities

Agronomy Journal, Volume 116, Issue 2, Page 630-660, March/April 2024.
Abstract Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is an important staple crop cultivated in over 100 countries, and the storage roots and vines provide food for humans and livestock. Sweetpotato consumption and demand for its value‐added products have increased significantly in the last two decades and have led to new cultivar development, expansion in acreage,

Target degradation specificity of phytoplasma effector phyllogen is regulated by the recruitment of host proteasome shuttle protein

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2024.
Phyllogen‐mediated degradation specificity for MADS transcription factors (MTFs) is controlled by two steps: MTF‐binding affinity and recruitment of proteasome shuttle protein (this study, red arrow). Abstract Phytoplasmas infect a wide variety of plants and can cause distinctive symptoms including the conversion of floral organs into leaf‐like organs,
