Coniferyl aldehyde from the phenylpropanoid pathway targets pyruvate kinase in Dactylobotrys graminicola to confer sheath rot resistance in hulless barley

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Hulless barley resists the newly identified sheath rot disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Dactylobotrys graminicola by releasing coniferyl aldehyde, a natural compound that disrupts energy production in the fungus. ABSTRACT Dactylobotrys graminicola (Dgr), a necrotrophic fungal pathogen, has recently been identified as the causative ...

The ZmRACK1–ZmCDPK7–ZmAPX1 module regulates plant antiviral immunity

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In maize, ZmRACK1 acts as a scaffold protein that bridges the cyclin‐dependent kinase ZmCDPK7 and the ascorbate peroxidase ZmAPX1, promoting ZmAPX1 activity to mitigate MCMV infection. Upon viral infection, P31 obstructs formation of the ZmRACK1‐ZmCDPK7‐ZmAPX1 complex, inhibiting ZmCDPK7‐mediated ZmAPX1 activity and promoting reactive oxygen species ...

The Capital–Labour–State Dynamics of Herbicide Adoption in Rainfed India

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper engages debates around the capital–labour–state dynamics of agrarian transitions to address the oft‐studied but still little‐understood question of why farmers adopt herbicides when they do. Over the last several years, smallholder farmers in India have begun using the herbicide bispyribac sodium at breakneck speeds, particularly in

Bridging Moral Aspirations and the Mundane Reality: A Grounded Study of the Process of Radical Purpose Adaptation in a Business School

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In previous research, scholars have often highlighted the important role of leaders in defending and protecting a historical organizational purpose. However, adopting such a ‘backward‐looking’ perspective, researchers have devoted much less attention to understanding how an organizational purpose can be deliberately changed and leveraged to ...

Inertia or Adaptability? The Effects of Outside Director Incumbency Capital on Incumbent Firms' Adoption of Discontinuous Technologies

open access: yesJournal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We fuse research on incumbents' adaptation to discontinuous technologies with board capital theory to investigate how heterogeneity in incumbent firms' adoption of discontinuous technologies may be affected by what we label as outside director incumbency capital—the specific subset of social capital and human capital that outside directors ...
