Plant Peptides on the Rise: From Historical Insight to Future Applications

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant peptides constitute a rapidly expanding class of signalling molecules essential to plant physiology, mediating key processes such as development, stress adaptation, and immune responses. This review traces the history of plant peptide research, from the seminal discovery of systemin to the recent identification of non‐canonical peptides (

ZmWRKY29 Transcriptionally Represses ZmRBOHC to Attenuate ROS Production and Facilitates Gibberella Stalk Rot Susceptibility in Maize

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gibberella stalk rot (GSR), caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium graminearum, severely threatens maize production. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying maize resistance to GSR remain poorly understood. Here, we have identified ZmWRKY29 as a transcriptional repressor induced by F.

LsMAPK6 Phosphorylates the LsCO Protein to Enhance Its Stability and Transcriptional Activity, Promoting Floral Transition Upon High Temperatures in Lettuce

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High temperatures significantly accelerate the timing of floral transition, namely, bolting and flowering, in lettuce, which results in severe loss of marketable yield. Thus, understanding the genetic regulation of floral transition is of great interest to plant biologists and lettuce breeders.

Metabolic Enzyme MeHNL11 Regulates MeCAS1b Transcription for Cyanide Reutilization in Response to Nitrate Deficiency in Cassava

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) exhibits exceptional tolerance to infertile soils and contains abundant cyanogenic glucosides (CGs). Previous research has indicated that CGs can serve as a significant reservoir of organic nitrogen in plants.

Single‐Cell CRISPR: An Efficient Strategy for Decoding Plant Cis‐Regulatory Complexity

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The generation of complex traits involves the coordinated interplay of multiple gene networks. Elucidating the function of transcriptional cis‐regulatory elements (CREs) in regulating gene expression is crucial for understanding complex regulatory pathways and improving our ability to modify macro‐phenotypes.

Two Aquaporins Mitigate Growth‐Defence Trade‐Offs by Facilitating CO2 and H2O2 Transport in Wheat

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growth‐defence trade‐offs pose a major challenge to breeding high‐yield and disease‐resistant crops. Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and other small compounds, therefore regulating the growth‐defence trade‐offs.

Multisite Field Evaluation of Oil Accumulation and Agronomic Performance in Grain and Sweet Sorghums Engineered for Lipid Hyperaccumulation

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oil sorghum (OS) has been developed by engineering grain (TX430) and sweet (Ramada) genetic backgrounds to accumulate triacylglycerols (TAG) in vegetative tissues as an energy‐dense feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other biofuels. This study evaluated two TX430 OS lines (TxHO‐2, TxHO‐3) and two Ramada OS lines (RmHO‐1, RmHO‐2)

Unfolding Plant Defence: Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Signalling at the Plant‐Pathogen Interface

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, a conserved proteostasis network, has emerged as a central hub that reprograms plant immunity during pathogen attack. This review synthesises how plants harness ER‐stress signalling to mount multilayered defences and how pathogens have evolved counterstrategies to subvert these pathways.
