Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.The Mediator subunit SlMED25 and the co‐repressor SlSPX2 competitively bind the N‐terminal domain of the phosphate starvation response transcription factor SlPHR3 in tomato to form a sensitive molecular switch, which dynamically modulates phosphate starvation responses and maintains phosphate homeostasis, offering valuable targets for breeding low ...

The ZmRACK1–ZmCDPK7–ZmAPX1 module regulates plant antiviral immunity
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.In maize, ZmRACK1 acts as a scaffold protein that bridges the cyclin‐dependent kinase ZmCDPK7 and the ascorbate peroxidase ZmAPX1, promoting ZmAPX1 activity to mitigate MCMV infection. Upon viral infection, P31 obstructs formation of the ZmRACK1‐ZmCDPK7‐ZmAPX1 complex, inhibiting ZmCDPK7‐mediated ZmAPX1 activity and promoting reactive oxygen species ...

Sequencing, genome analysis and prevalence of a cytorhabdovirus discovered in Carica papaya.
PLoS ONE, 2019 The complete genome of a new rhabdovirus infecting papaya (Carica papaya L.) in Ecuador, named papaya virus E, was sequenced and characterized. The negative-sense single-stranded RNA genome consists of 13,469 nucleotides with six canonical open reading ...

Potential unlocked: an atlas of cloned wheat genes for genome engineering and breeding
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Strategies for introducing genome edits into a wheat breeding program and their effects on cultivar longevity. Summary Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) production is increasingly threatened by biotic and abiotic stresses. Developing varieties with improved stress tolerance and desirable end‐use qualities is crucial for meeting growing global demand ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Potyvirus turnip mosaic virus induces neutral lipid accumulation and lipid droplet biogenesis in infected leaves for its own benefit. Summary Lipid droplets (LDs), which are dedicated to storing neutral lipids (NLs), are dynamic organelles involved in numerous other functions, including membrane remodeling during abiotic stress.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Plants have evolved complex regulatory mechanisms to control a multi-layered defense response to microbial attack. Both temporal and spatial gene expression are tightly regulated in response to pathogen ingress, modulating both positive and negative ...

Unfolding Plant Defence: Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Signalling at the Plant‐Pathogen Interface
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, a conserved proteostasis network, has emerged as a central hub that reprograms plant immunity during pathogen attack. This review synthesises how plants harness ER‐stress signalling to mount multilayered defences and how pathogens have evolved counterstrategies to subvert these pathways.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Striped stem borer (SSB; Chilo suppressalis Walker) is one of the most destructive pests in rice production. Previous studies have demonstrated that SSB infestation induces transcription of OsT5H (tryptamine‐5‐hydroxylase) and biosynthesis of serotonin, a newly recognised phytohormone, and that disruption of serotonin biosynthesis ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...
