Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins in crops: Advances in functional mechanisms and breeding applications

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins coordinate nucleus‐organelle communication by modulating RNA metabolism within chloroplasts and mitochondria. This review highlights how they control critical processes like photosynthesis, seed development, fertility restoration, and stress survival in crops, and explores their potential as programmable tools for RNA ...

HSP101‐encoding NEO‐TETRAPLOID RICE FERTILITY GENE 1 regulates tapetum development through interaction with SAPK2 in polyploid rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In neo‐tetraploid rice, the NTRF1–SAPK2 heat shock protein–kinase module coordinates abscisic acid signaling with reactive oxygen species homeostasis to ensure timely tapetal programmed cell death and subsequent pollen maturation, providing a resource for the genetic improvement of polyploid rice.

PanGraphRNA: An efficient and flexible bioinformatics platform for graph pangenome‐based RNA‐seq data analysis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
PanGraphRNA is an easy‐to‐use platform that improves RNA‐seq analysis by using graph pangenomes instead of a single reference genome. It increases read alignment accuracy, detects important genes missed by traditional methods, and works across major crops, helping researchers obtain more reliable transcriptome results for diverse plant research and ...

Structural Variations Contribute to Subspeciation and Yield Heterosis in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Yield heterosis has been extensively exploited in hybrid breeding, with intersubspecific hybrids often exhibiting the most pronounced effects. However, developing elite hybrids remains a laborious and time‐consuming process. The genetic basis of heterosis has been debated for over a century, hindered largely by the lack of high‐quality genomes.
