The ZmRACK1–ZmCDPK7–ZmAPX1 module regulates plant antiviral immunity
In maize, ZmRACK1 acts as a scaffold protein that bridges the cyclin‐dependent kinase ZmCDPK7 and the ascorbate peroxidase ZmAPX1, promoting ZmAPX1 activity to mitigate MCMV infection. Upon viral infection, P31 obstructs formation of the ZmRACK1‐ZmCDPK7‐ZmAPX1 complex, inhibiting ZmCDPK7‐mediated ZmAPX1 activity and promoting reactive oxygen species ...

A high‐quality reference genome for the elite peanut cultivar Zhonghua No. 5 revealed differing evolutionary paths between the two peanut subgenomes. SubA has higher overall gene expression and more open chromatin, whereas SubB has stronger structural organization, higher DNA methylation, and greater adaptive diversity associated with peanut evolution ...

This review decodes the grammar of plant cis‐regulatory elements, revealing that their function emerges from sequence, chromatin accessibility, 3D topology, and cell type context. It highlights how single‐cell omics, CRISPR dissection, and AI‐driven design converge to enable predictive engineering and crop improvement. ABSTRACT Cis‐regulatory elements (

T2T genome assembly and CRISPR/Cas9 editing of Medicago lupulina
A complete, gap‐free genome of Medicago lupulina, a tough, high‐protein forage legume, and a gene‐editing tool for this species, which was used to alter its leaf shape, provide key resources for improving alfalfa and breeding better forage crops for high‐altitude environments.

Abstract Picocystis salinarum is an early‐diverging chlorophyte and the sole described member of the Picocystophyceae, frequently dominating hypersaline and alkaline lakes despite extreme physicochemical constraints. To elucidate the genomic foundations of its ecological success, we generated a fully annotated, chromosome‐scale nuclear genome assembly ...
