Auxin‐Induced Nicotine Inhibition Is Mediated by NaARF5 Through the Suppression of NaERF1‐Like Expression and Interaction With NaERF1‐Like in Nicotiana attenuata

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nicotine is the most abundant alkaloid produced by Nicotiana species against insect herbivores. Although it has been known for decades that auxin can strongly inhibit nicotine biosynthesis, the underlying mechanisms have remained unclear.

Autoactive MtDMI1 Reprogrammes Immunity and Development in Tomato via Ethylene Signalling

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Common Symbiosis Signalling Pathway (CSSP) underpins interactions between plants and microbes, yet its potential for crop improvement remains underexplored. Here, we investigated the gain‐of‐function mutant SPD1 (MtDMI1S760N), which constitutively activates the symbiotic signalling pathway in Medicago truncatula, by expressing it in tomato

The Wheat CRK‐RLCK‐MAPKs Signalling Module Confers High‐Temperature All‐Stage Resistance to Stripe Rust

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As global warming continues, rising temperatures significantly alter the interactions between wheat and the stripe rust pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). Utilising high‐temperature all‐stage (HTAS) resistance to Pst is a novel strategy for breeding climate and disease resilient wheat cultivars.

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

Codon usage bias analysis of the WRKY gene family in Musa acuminata

Frontiers in Genetics
Codon usage bias (CUB), a universal evolutionary phenomenon, reflects selective pressures shaping genome adaptation. The WRKY transcription factor family plays a pivotal role in regulating plant responses to physiological and biochemical stresses.

The PagDMG6341–PagWD40–PagPOLD4 Module Coordinates Base Excision Repair in ‘84K’ Poplar (Populus alba × P. glandulosa)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Base excision repair (BER) is a critical pathway for repairing damaged DNA bases in cells; however, the mechanisms of protein recruitment and interaction in this pathway remain largely unexplored in higher plants. In this study, we used ‘84K’ poplar (Populus alba × P.

OsWRKY53‐OsGT1 Module Regulates Rice Tiller Development and Is Involved in Fine‐Tuning Strigolactone Signaling

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant architecture, including plant height, tiller number, and leaf angle, is a critical determinant of rice yield. However, few genes have been identified that simultaneously regulate these traits and hold breeding value. We have previously shown that OsWRKY53 regulates the plant height and leaf angle via BR signalling.

A Truncated WRKY Protein Enhances Drought Resistance in Wild Tomatoes Through the SlWRKY16‐CIP2b‐SlSYP121 Module

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought stress is a major abiotic factor that severely affects plant growth and food production. Identifying drought‐resistant genes and their regulatory mechanisms is essential for mitigating the negative impacts of drought on plants. In this study, we identified a natural single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutation in SlWRKY16 that is ...

The BAHD Acyltransferase Gene Family: Evolutionary Dynamics, Biochemical Mechanisms, and Roles in Plant Stress Adaptation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
BAHD acyltransferases drive metabolic diversification in plants by coupling conserved catalytic scaffolds with regulatory flexibility, enabling stress adaptation and ecological specialisation. ABSTRACT BAHD acyltransferases constitute one of the most versatile enzyme superfamilies in plants, catalysing the acylation of alcohols, amines, polyamines, and
