AhBWR15, A Novel RLK Gene, Confers Resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum in Peanut

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacterial wilt (BW), a severe soil‐borne disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, significantly impedes global peanut production. Despite its impact, the mechanisms underlying BW resistance in peanut remain unclear. Herein, we selected the highly resistant variety Nongdahua108 (H108) and the susceptible variety Nongdahua107 (H107) to develop ...

Plant Peptides on the Rise: From Historical Insight to Future Applications

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant peptides constitute a rapidly expanding class of signalling molecules essential to plant physiology, mediating key processes such as development, stress adaptation, and immune responses. This review traces the history of plant peptide research, from the seminal discovery of systemin to the recent identification of non‐canonical peptides (

Mechanical Strength: An Unrecognised Target in the Genetic Improvement of Crops

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Leaf angle (LA) is a crucial agronomic trait influencing planting density and crop yield. Previous research highlighted the importance of cellular variations in the ligular region for determining LA, but the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear.

Disruption of Asparagine Synthetase Is Associated to Increased Biomass in Lotus japonicus

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Asparagine (Asn) constitutes the major form of nitrogen translocated within Lotus japonicus plants. In this work we use knock‐out (KO) LORE1 mutants‐deficient in the asparagine synthetase gene (LjASN1), which is the most highly expressed ASN gene in plants grown under non‐symbiotic (NS) conditions, but much less expressed under symbiotic (S ...

Two Aquaporins Mitigate Growth‐Defence Trade‐Offs by Facilitating CO2 and H2O2 Transport in Wheat

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growth‐defence trade‐offs pose a major challenge to breeding high‐yield and disease‐resistant crops. Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and other small compounds, therefore regulating the growth‐defence trade‐offs.

CitPH4 Confers Resistance to Citrus Canker by Activating Papain‐Like Cysteine Protease

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Citrus canker, a devastating disease caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc), poses a significant threat to global citrus production due to the high susceptibility of nearly all commercial citrus cultivars to it. Although transcription factor Citrus PH4 (CitPH4) is well known for regulating fruit acidity, its potential role in plant ...

Spatial Regulation of Silicon Accumulation in Peduncle Confers Sheathed Spike in Barley

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peduncle, the uppermost internode in cereals, connects the stem to the inflorescence and is critical for the transport of water, nutrients and photosynthetic assimilates. While peduncle length associates with plant height and its elongation is primarily regulated by phytohormones, we report a previously unrecognized mechanism involving the ...

Ectopic Expression of ScALDH21 From a Desert Moss Enhances Cotton Resistance to Verticillium Wilt via the Modulation of Jasmonates and Phenylpropanoid Pathways

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic stresses, particularly Verticillium wilt (VW), lead to a global decline in cotton yields. Here, we demonstrate that ectopic expression of ScALDH21, a gene from the desiccation‐tolerant moss Syntrichia caninervis Mitt. and absent in angiosperms, enhances cotton's resistance to VW.

Spatiotemporal Metabolome and Single‐Nucleus Transcriptome Integration Illuminates an Auxin Gradient Orchestrated by NtTAC1 Underlying Leaf Angle Regulation in Tobacco

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Proposed model of TAC1‐mediated leaf angle regulation in tobacco. ABSTRACT Plant architecture is key to crop yield, with leaf angle being critical for high‐density cultivation. Although TAC1 represents a promising regulator of leaf angle for breeding, its molecular mechanism remains poorly understood, particularly at single‐nucleus resolution. Here, we
