Tryptophan‐like dissolved organic matter (Try‐like DOM), a key component of organic matter in river ecosystems, demonstrates significant protective effects against plant viruses. The protective mechanism operates via a “swimming firewall” mode, whereby free Try‐like DOM attenuates ultraviolet (UV) radiation and scavenges reactive oxygen species ...

Salt stress endangers coastal cereal crops, requiring resilient crop solutions. This study employs machine learning (KANMB) to analyze multi‐omics data from halophyte Spartina alterniflora, revealing 226 salt‐stress biomarkers and linking them to tolerance pathways. The MYB gene SaMYB35 regulates flavonoid biosynthesis under salinity.

Nanopriming enhances plant resilience to environmental challenges; however, its effectiveness across diverse genetic backgrounds, including genetic modifications and natural variations, remains uncertain. These findings demonstrate that nanopriming improves efficacy when natural genetic variations are considered, particularly in genetically modified ...

AlphaFold‐Guided Bespoke Gene Editing Enhances Field‐Grown Soybean Oil Contents
An AlphaFold‐guided method is developed to functionally optimize soybean sugar transporters and achieve bespoke gene editing of GmSWEET10a/b to improve oil content in an elite soybean cultivar in multi‐year, multi‐site field trials. The combination of AI‐guided protein design and gene editing may unlock a huge potential to improve the genetic trait de ...
