BrCER1 intron mutation causing a wax deficient phenotype in Chinese cabbage

BMC Plant Biology
Background Cuticular wax is one of the most important substances that cover the aerial parts of most plants and protect them from biotic and abiotic stresses. Plants lacking wax powder on their surface are more popular in terms of appearance and quality.

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated characterization of Kcs6 in wax biosynthesis and drought tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana

Drought is a major abiotic stress that reduces crop productivity due to global climate change. The plant cuticular wax layer plays a crucial role in reducing non-stomatal water loss and enhancing drought tolerance.

METTL7A Downregulation Drives SLC1A5‐Mediated Glutamine Competition to Promote Tumor Proliferation and Suppress CD8+ T Cell Immunity in Gastric Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
GC cells enhance glutamine accumulation by upregulating SLC1A5 expression. This upregulation not only boosts GC cell proliferation, but also outcompetes CD8+ T cells for glutamine and suppresses their antitumor immunity. Mechanistically, METTL7A deficiency in GC induces SLC1A5 overexpression via an m6A‐dependent pathway and N‐glycosylation ...

A Novel Pak1 Activator Ameliorates ER Stress for HFpEF Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic metabolic stress is a major contributor to HFpEF progression. Under prolonged metabolic stress, Pak1 activity becomes impaired, contributing to disrupted ER proteostasis, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, fibrosis, and diastolic dysfunction. Mechanistically, Pak1 overexpression activates the ERK1/2–MNK1–eIF4E signaling axis, promotes translational ...

Non-canonical enzymes involved in cuticular wax biosynthesis : weaving the coat of Arabidopsis and cereal shoots

, 2021
Plant cuticles play important roles in plant development, fertility, and adaptation. The cuticular waxes directly facing the environment are made mainly from derivatives of very-long-chain (VLC) aliphatics.

Histone Deacetylase 19 Controls Powdery Mildew Susceptibility by Attenuating Biosynthesis of Cuticular Wax and Salicylic Acid

Journal of Fungi
Phytopathogenic Ascomycetes Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt) causes wheat powdery mildew disease and impacts global wheat production. Decoding the molecular wheat-Bgt interaction could facilitate the wheat disease resistance breeding. In this study,

Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...

Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...
