ABSTRACT Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a powerful delivery tool for plant genetic transformation and a pivotal platform for agricultural biotechnology. However, laboratory strains of Agrobacterium have remained genetically unoptimized for decades, with genome engineering hindered by inefficient, endogenous homologous recombination systems.

A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis
ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Characterization and consequences of Telomere replication gone awry [PDF]
Telomeres, the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes, pose several unique challenges to genome stability. My thesis work is concerned with the difficulties the replication machinery encounters when attempting to replicate telomeres, and with possible ...

ABSTRACT Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a globally important source of protein and edible oil, but is severely threatened by soybean mosaic virus (SMV). Wild soybean [Glycine soja Sieb. & Zucc.], the wild ancestor of cultivated soybean, exhibits high genetic diversity and strong resistance to pathogens.

Molecular Links Between Heat Stress and DNA Damage Response in Plants
ABSTRACT Climate change poses a major threat to agricultural productivity and, consequently, to global food security. Among the consequences of climate change, heat stress (HS) has emerged as a critical factor limiting crop performance. This has stimulated extensive research over the past decade to elucidate the molecular and physiological mechanisms ...

ABSTRACT Nitro‐fatty acids (NO2‐FAs) are potent electrophiles that react with nucleophilic residues in proteins (cysteines, histidines and lysines) via a process known as nitroalkylation. This reversible post‐translational modification (PTM) functions as a selective signalling mechanism by modulating the structure, transport, and catalysis of target ...

Dynamics of Rad51 during homologous recombination in living yeast
Dynamique de Rad51 lors de la recombinaison homologue chez la levure vivante L'ADN est le principal vecteur d'information génétique et son intégrité est vitale pour la survie des cellules. Pourtant, l'ADN est sous la pression des dommages causés par des facteurs exogènes et endogènes.

Understanding extracellular vesicles in antiaging
Abstract Background Aging is a multifactorial process marked by gradual cellular dysregulation, regulated by hallmarks, including genomic instability, mitochondrial dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, have emerged as pivotal mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication with potential roles in both ...

Functional analysis of predicted interaction‐associated WD40 blades in Fgwd101 and Fgwd048 of Fusarium graminearum. Summary WD40 is a highly conserved protein domain in eukaryotes that functions as a versatile platform for protein–protein interactions and participates in diverse biological processes.

Single‐cell transcriptomics of soybean roots soon after rhizobial inoculation reveals epidermal and cortical cell‐specific programs and gene‐regulatory networks acting in symbiosis establishment. We identify an ethylene‐driven regulatory circuit involving WRKY6.3/6.4 transcription factors targeting select Nod19 genes that promotes infection‐thread ...
