Genetic Mapping and Functional Characterisation of GhCUP Regulating Leaf Curling in Cotton
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Leaf size and shape are crucial traits affecting photosynthesis. Moderate leaf curling is believed to be beneficial to photosynthesis because upright leaves are ideal for building a canopy structure with reduced shaded areas to improve light penetration and ventilation.

Pro‐Vitamin A Biofortified Cavendish Banana: Trait Stability in the Field
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vitamin A deficiency (VAD), a major global health concern, has driven efforts to develop staple crops with enhanced pro‐vitamin A (pVA) content. Delivering meaningful nutritional benefits, however, requires technologies that maintain elevated carotenoid levels under field conditions. Previous proof‐of‐concept work demonstrated that pVA content

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As global warming continues, rising temperatures significantly alter the interactions between wheat and the stripe rust pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). Utilising high‐temperature all‐stage (HTAS) resistance to Pst is a novel strategy for breeding climate and disease resilient wheat cultivars.

Nature CommunicationsArboviruses often employ various strategies to manipulate the behavior of herbivorous vectors and host plants, thereby enhancing their transmission and infection. In this study, we identify a plant lectin protein, OsChtBL1, which possesses chitin-binding

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Low temperature is a critical abiotic stress that imposes major constraints on the sustainable development of the fruit tree industry. Although exogenous dopamine has been shown to enhance cold tolerance in plants, its molecular mechanisms in apple (Malus domestica) remain poorly understood.

Detection of maize yellow stripe tenui-like virus by ELISA and dot- blot tests in host plants and leafhopper vector in Egypt [PDF]
, 1996 Antisera to the nucleoprotein of maize yellow stripe tenui-like virus (MYSV) were produced and used for detection of this virus in several host plants and vector leafhoppers in Egypt.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The ripening of climacteric fruits is characterised by a sharp increase in ethylene production, coinciding with the conversion of starch into soluble sugars. However, the regulatory interplay between ethylene and starch degradation in apple remains largely unclear. Here, we report a negative correlation between starch accumulation and ethylene
