Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.BAHD acyltransferases drive metabolic diversification in plants by coupling conserved catalytic scaffolds with regulatory flexibility, enabling stress adaptation and ecological specialisation. ABSTRACT BAHD acyltransferases constitute one of the most versatile enzyme superfamilies in plants, catalysing the acylation of alcohols, amines, polyamines, and

Improvement on the mechanical properties of cork composites using suberin as coupling agent through a reactive extrusion process [PDF]
, 2011 New functionalized composite structures were prepared using low-density polyethylene (LDPE), cork powder and different suberins extracted from cork and birch outer bark as coupling agents to promote interfacial adhesion.

Anatomical features of an African sorghum landrace adapted to flooded conditions [PDF]
, 2016 This research aims to evaluate adaptation of two contrasting sorghum genotypes to flooding: a landrace from Cameroon described as a “floating sorghum” (Wulaga) and a typical dryland improved variety (Cirad437) from Burkina Faso.

MYB107 and MYB9 Homologs Regulate Suberin Deposition in Angiosperms [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2016 Suberin, a polymer composed of both aliphatic and aromatic domains, is deposited as a rough matrix upon plant surface damage and during normal growth in the root endodermis, bark, specialized organs (e.g., potato [Solanum tuberosum] tubers), and seed coats.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mentha spicata L. (spearmint) is a high‐value aromatic and medicinal species, whose productivity is strongly affected by water deficit. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying drought acclimation in this mint remain largely unexplored. Thus, here, we investigated the microRNA‐mediated regulatory processes triggered in M.

The CebE/MsiK transporter is a doorway to the cello-oligosaccharide-mediated induction of Streptomyces scabies pathogenicity [PDF]
, 2016 Streptomyces scabies is an economically important plant pathogen well-known for damaging root and tuber crops by causing scab lesions. Thaxtomin A is the main causative agent responsible for the pathogenicity of S.

AhBWR15, A Novel RLK Gene, Confers Resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum in Peanut
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bacterial wilt (BW), a severe soil‐borne disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, significantly impedes global peanut production. Despite its impact, the mechanisms underlying BW resistance in peanut remain unclear. Herein, we selected the highly resistant variety Nongdahua108 (H108) and the susceptible variety Nongdahua107 (H107) to develop ...

Enhanced CO2 Coordinates the Spatial Recruitment of Diazotrophs in Rice Via Root Development
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding the reciprocal interaction between root development and coadapted beneficial microbes in response to elevated CO2 (eCO2) will facilitate the identification of nutrient‐efficient cultivars for sustainable agriculture. Here, systematic morphological, anatomical, chemical and gene expression assays performed under low‐nitrogen ...
