Gene Editing of Nicotiana benthamiana Architecture for Space‐Efficient Production of Recombinant Proteins in Closed Environments

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Indoor vertical farming (VF) offers practical advantages for the cultivation of plant protein bio‐factories including plant uniformity, product consistency, water/nutrient recycling and production cycles on a year‐round basis. Much progress has been achieved toward the development of innovative systems for artificial lighting, automated ...

Natural Variation in GmSL20 Improves Seed Size and Quality in Soybean

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed size plays an important role in determining crop yield, yet the genetic mechanisms underlying the regulation of this agronomic trait remain incompletely understood in soybean. Here, we perform a genome‐wide association study mapping with seed length variations and identify a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) on chromosome 20, named ...

Occurrence of viruses on pepper plantations in the Czech Republic - Short communication

Horticultural Science, 2012
A survey of viruses on capsicum plants in the Czech Republic was carried out in the years 2006-2010. Altogether, 375 leaf samples with symptoms suggesting viral infection were collected both from open fields and greenhouses.

ERF Transcription Factor NaERFIDOG Regulates JA‐Induced Defence and Growth Inhibition in Nicotiana attenuata Upon Alternaria alternata Infection

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jasmonate (JA) regulates defence responses in plants. However, JA‐induced defence often results in growth inhibition. This process is largely mediated by MYC2, the master regulator of JA signalling. Nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanisms have not yet been fully uncovered.

Writing Big in Plant Genomes: Advances, Challenges and Strategies for Targeted Large‐Fragment DNA Insertion

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Precise genome editing has transformed plant biology and crop improvement by enabling targeted modification of endogenous loci. Beyond gene knockout and base editing, the site‐specific insertion of exogenous DNA, particularly large DNA fragments, has become a central goal for engineering complex traits, reconstructing metabolic pathways and ...

Contradicting Kuhn's Popular Notion of Scientific Revolution: Conservative Revolutionaries in the History of Biology

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Proposing the concept of a conservative revolutionary generally and using the examples of Gregor Mendel, Max Delbrück, and Eric Davidson, I fundamentally call into question Thomas Kuhn's ideas of scientific revolutions. I also highlight some problematic consequences of the increasing appreciation of Kuhn's work among scientists and show that ...

RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5971-5986, July 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

Production of Platinum Atom Nanoclusters at One End of Helical Plant Viruses

Advances in Virology, 2013
Platinum atom clusters (Pt nanoparticles, Pt-NPs) were produced selectively at one end of helical plant viruses, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and potato virus X (PVX), when platinum coordinate compounds were reduced chemically by borohydrides.

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus: A persistent seed‐borne threat to cucurbits

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a highly stable, seed‐borne tobamovirus that threatens global cucurbit production. Its efficient mechanical and seed transmission, long‐term environmental persistence, and the spread of Clade II CGMMV isolates drive its rapid dissemination and cause severe yield losses.

Expression of an extracellular ribonuclease gene increases resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus in tobacco

BMC Plant Biology, 2016
Background The apoplast plays an important role in plant defense against pathogens. Some extracellular PR-4 proteins possess ribonuclease activity and may directly inhibit the growth of pathogenic fungi.
