ABSTRACT Efficient viral proliferation within the host is a critical step in pathogenicity and requires adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The replication, movement and immune evasion of many plant viruses within their hosts are associated with phase separation (PS)‐derived aggregates formed by viral components.

Sustainable flower bulb production: prototyping integrated flower bulb production systems on sandy soils in The Netherlands [PDF]
Flower bulb production in The Netherlands is economically successful. However, production methods rely heavily on external inputs, causing contamination of surface and ground water. The use of pesticides has been estimated 100 kg active ingredient (a.i.)

Rewiring Steroidal Metabolic Pathways for Diosgenin Production in Solanum nigrum
ABSTRACT Diosgenin is a key starting material for the synthesis of steroidal drugs, such as corticosteroids and sex hormones. While the primary commercial source of diosgenin is the tubers of Dioscorea spp., identifying alternative plant hosts capable of diosgenin biosynthesis could enhance its production.

Rapid, high efficiency virus-mediated mutant complementation and gene silencing in Antirrhinum
Background Antirrhinum (snapdragon) species are models for genetic and evolutionary research but recalcitrant to genetic transformation, limiting use of transgenic methods for functional genomics.

High rates of virus-induced gene silencing by tobacco rattle virus inPopulus [PDF]
Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) has been shown to be an effective tool for investigating gene functions in herbaceous plant species, but has rarely been tested in trees. The establishment of a fast and reliable transformation system is especially important for woody plants, many of which are recalcitrant to transformation.

ABSTRACT Heat stress significantly damages crop yield and quality. PLATZ (PLANT A/T‐RICH SEQUENCE‐AND ZINC‐BINDING PROTEIN) transcription factors play pivotal roles in plant growth, development, and environmental stress responses. While the functions of PLATZ members in response to drought and salt stress are well characterised, their roles in heat ...

ABSTRACT The plant endomembrane system and vesicle trafficking are central to plant immunity, mediating the targeted delivery and recycling of defence molecules during pathogen attack. Here, we investigated the functional role of soybean Vacuole Membrane Protein 1 (GmVMP1) in mediating resistance against soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines).

ABSTRACT Efficient purification remains a key technical challenge affecting the recovery efficiency of recombinant proteins in plant‐based systems. Complex metabolites, particularly polyphenols, often cause recombinant protein aggregation during purification.

ABSTRACT Cell wall–degrading enzymes are viewed as extracellular virulence factors. However, their potential to act as immune elicitors and interact with intracellular immune receptors remains poorly defined. Here, we demonstrate that six conserved glycoside hydrolase 7 (GH7) family proteins from the fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae have dual roles
