Microclimate drives demographic compensation in a narrow endemic tropical species

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Demographic compensation occurs when reductions in some vital rates are offset by increases in others, allowing populations to maintain similar performance across varying environments. This mechanism may help explain species' ecological distributions and range limits, yet its role at microenvironmental scales remains poorly understood.

When wuthering winds create fluttering fields: structural and biomechanical properties determine canopy light fluctuation properties of 10 wheat cultivars

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Wind‐driven plant movement generates rapid light fluctuations (windflecks), which can impact canopy photosynthesis. Targeting crop photosynthesis in dynamic light provides a potential path towards boosting yield. Here, we quantified how plant architecture and biomechanics modulate such windflecks across 10 high‐yielding cultivars of winter ...

In perennial Arabis alpina, CONSTANS and FLOWERING LOCUS T have common and distinct effects on flowering and inflorescence architecture

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Flowering of perennial Arabis alpina is differentially regulated on primary and axillary shoots. Although contributions of vernalization and ageing pathways have been analysed, those of photoperiodic flowering genes CONSTANS (CO), FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), and TWIN‐SISTER OF FT (TSF) remain unexplored.

Optimization of carbon and nitrogen utilization for enhanced photosynthesis, biomass and yield by coexpression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, aspartate aminotransferase and glutamine synthetase in Brassica juncea

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Coexpression of genes involved in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism offers a promising avenue for improving crop yield. This study investigated the impact of coexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase [ZmPEPC (P)], aspartate aminotransferase [GmAspAT (A)] and glutamine synthetase [NtGS (G)] in Brassica juncea to enhance plant yield ...

Glycoalkaloid‐Free Starch Potatoes Generated by CRISPR/Cas9‐Mediated Mutations of Genes in the Glycoalkaloid Biosynthesis Pathway Enable More Sustainable Uses of By‐Products From Starch Production

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are toxic cholesterol‐derived secondary metabolites present in several Solanaceae species. In potato, tuber SGA levels are for reasons of toxicity of concern in both table and starch cultivars. In the latter, SGAs bind to proteins and fibres in starch production side‐streams and prevent their further uses as ...

Elucidating the Genetic Basis of Columnar Upright Architecture in Populus Through CRISPR Disruption of TILLER ANGLE CONTROL1

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Narrow or upright branch angles in shoots and leaves lead to columnar, upright‐growing tree architectures, as observed in various tree species such as Lombardy poplar (Populus nigra var. italica). However, the genetic mechanism underlying this unique growth habit in Lombardy poplar has not yet been elucidated.

Improving End‐Use Quality Through Introducing Cysteines Into the Central Repeat Domain of High‐Molecular‐Weight Glutenin Subunit 1Dx2 in Bread Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), cysteine (Cys) residues within the N‐ and C‐termini of high‐molecular‐weight glutenin subunits (HMW‐GSs) critically influence dough quality. However, the functional significance of Cys residue in their central repeat domain (CRD) remains unclear.

Effector‐Mediated Spatial Reprogramming of Glycolate Oxidase Subverts Peroxisomal and Membrane‐Associated ROS Defences

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oomycete pathogens secrete hundreds of RXLR effectors into plant cells to modulate host immunity by targeting diverse plant proteins. Here, we report that the Peronophythora litchii RXLR effector PlAvh133 acts as a virulence factor and targets the litchi glycolate oxidase (GLO) LcGLO1, a key enzyme in photorespiration, thereby suppressing ...
