Debneyol decoded: A metabolic organizer powers broad‐spectrum plant defense
Abstract A new Cell study by Wang et al. resolves the long‐elusive biosynthesis and regulation of debneyol, a fungicidal sesquiterpenoid phytoalexin in Solanaceae. The authors define the complete three‐step route from farnesyl pyrophosphate to debneyol and identify the small protein MCD1 as a metabolic organizer that assembles a multienzyme complex to ...

Strigolactone signaling: Licensing antiviral RNA interference in rice
Rice grassy stunt virus (RGSV) suppresses strigolactone‐mediated antiviral RNAi through P3‐D14 interaction. Structure‐guided D14D102N editing disrupts P3 binding while maintaining SL signaling, sustaining antiviral defense and providing strong resistance without compromising plant growth or yield.

Harnessing plant susceptibility genes into strategies for enhanced disease resistance
Integrated model of S gene modules in plant pathogen interactions. This model summarises representative host susceptibility modules that can be exploited by bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens. In the bacterial infection module, Xanthomonas transcription activator‐like effectors activate OsSWEET14 through effector‐binding elements in its promoter ...

The epigenetic landscape of plant defense: Unlocking nature's toolkit for new plant protection
This review examines how epigenetic mechanisms regulate plant immune gene activation, repression, and priming, then links these natural regulatory layers to emerging epigenetic editing, discussing their potential for precise, heritable crop protection and the challenges.

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.
