The maize mitogen‐activated protein kinase kinase kinase gene ZmMAPKKK45 is associated with multiple disease resistance

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Southern leaf blight (SLB), caused by the necrotrophic fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus, is a major foliar disease of maize (Zea mays) world‐wide. A genome‐wide association study was performed to dissect the genetic basis of SLB resistance in maize. Functional validation was performed using mutant and transgenic analyses.

Pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis exploits the lateral root regulators to induce pluripotency in maize shoots

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Biotrophic plant–pathogens secrete effector molecules to redirect and exploit endogenous signaling and developmental pathways in their favor. The biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis causes galls on all aerial parts of maize. However, the responsible gall‐inducing effectors and corresponding plant signaling pathway(s) remain largely unknown.

Early signals of water limitations begin at the root–soil interface: linking rhizosphere drying to water uptake decline

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Understanding when and where drought stress originates in the soil–plant continuum is essential for predicting plant responses to climate change. While stomatal closure is a well‐known reaction to declining soil moisture, the precise hydraulic trigger remains unresolved.

Epigenetic regulation of mycorrhizal symbioses: from plastic responses to transgenerational legacies

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Mycorrhizal symbioses represent one of the most widespread and ecologically significant plant–microbe interactions, shaping plant nutrition, stress resilience, and ecosystem functioning. Beyond their role in nutrient exchange and systemic defense, growing evidence suggests that these symbioses also influence plant plasticity within and across ...

MsWRKY49 Modulates Pollen Tube Elongation in Response to Boron Deficiency by Regulating Reactive Oxygen Species Homeostasis in Alfalfa

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Boron, an essential micronutrient, plays a crucial role in plant reproductive processes. Boron deficiency is widespread in many regions and significantly reduces alfalfa (Medicago sativa) seed yield, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its impact on reproductive organ development remain elusive.

Calmodulin‐Like Protein MfCML50 Interacts With Carveol Dehydrogenase in Medicago falcata to Regulate Cold Tolerance Through Mediating ROS Homeostasis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low temperature triggers Ca2+ signalling and reprogramming of gene expression and metabolism in plants. However, how the Ca2+ signal is transduced to the downstream metabolic pathways remains unknown. The involvement of a cold‐induced calmodulin‐like protein, MfCML50, from Medicago falcata in regulation of cold tolerance was examined in the ...

ZmMYB127 Modulates Maize Kernel Texture and Size by Integrating the Synthesis of Starch, Zein Proteins and Auxin

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Kernel texture is an important agronomic trait that determines the end‐uses of maize kernels and affects their integrity at harvest and susceptibility to pests and diseases. The ratio of the vitreous endosperm (RVE) is the key index for assessing kernel texture, and identifying key genes involved in its formation is crucial for maize breeding.

ZmmiR1432‐ZmCML21‐ZmPMA2 Module Affects Maize Low Phosphate Tolerance via Regulating Organic Acid Secretion

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phosphorus is indispensable in agricultural production. The growing global demand for food necessitates the development of crops with enhanced phosphorus utilisation efficiency. However, the molecular mechanisms coordinating phosphorus utilisation efficiency in plants remain incompletely characterised.
