The maize mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase kinase gene ZmMAPKKK45 is associated with multiple disease resistance

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
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.

Testing macroevolutionary predictions of the Grant‐Stebbins model in the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The Grant‐Stebbins model predicts that a plant species encountering different pollinators across its range may undergo local adaptation and, subsequently, ecological speciation. We tested whether this could explain the origin of Aeschynanthus acuminatus (Gesneriaceae), a species phylogenetically derived from sunbird specialist ancestors.

The potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida overcomes major potato resistance through selection on standing variation at a single locus

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Globodera pallida poses a major threat to potato production, with management strategies primarily relying on genetic resistance. However, increasing virulence in field populations across Western Europe raises major concerns for G. pallida control.

Highly efficient transgene‐free ErCas12a RNP‐protoplast genome editing and single‐cell regeneration in Nicotiana benthamiana for glyco‐engineering

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Nicotiana benthamiana serves as a unique platform for biopharmaceutical production, offering advantages such as efficient and scalable protein synthesis. In addition, custom N‐glycans can be engineered on biopharmaceutical glycoproteins. Yet, plant‐native glycosyltransferases and glycoside hydrolases need to be removed to prevent undesired ...

The Diversity of the DNA‐Binding Landscape in the DREB/ERF Family: Focusing on Reproductive Processes in Fruit Trees With Highly Heterozygous Genome

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT DREB/ERF transcription factors play pivotal roles in plant development; however, their structural characteristics, DNA‐binding preferences, and functional roles in highly heterozygous woody plants remain insufficiently understood. Using lychee (Litchi chinensis) as a model, we identified 95 DREB/ERF genes subdivided into ten phylogenetic ...

ZmTH1 Is Vital for Healthy Plant Growth and Promotes Cold/Drought Tolerance by Regulating Thiamin Diphosphate‐Dependent Metabolisms in Maize

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vitamin B1 (VB1) plays a crucial role in sustaining plant health and enabling adaptive responses to environmental stress. The complex maize genome implies a sophisticated VB1 synthesis pathway, with the mechanisms by which VB1 benefits plants remaining elusive.
