Toward simple, rapid, and deep plant proteome analysis with an in-cell proteomics strategy
UncategorizedAbstractWhile liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS) has revolutionized plant proteomics over the past decade, plant sample preparation remains a major challenge due to rigid cell walls, abundant secondary metabolites, and wide dynamic range of protein abundance. These hurdles demand laborious…
Beyond defense: GTR-mediated uptake of glucosinolates drives growth and structural reprogramming in broccoli seedlings
UncategorizedAbstractExogenous application of glucosinolates (GSLs) has previously been reported to act as a biostimulant, enhancing crop resilience and growth. However, the molecular mechanisms governing their uptake and metabolic integration remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the role of glucosinolate…
Glycogen deficiency impairs diurnal energy metabolism and cell division in Synechocystis
UncategorizedAbstractDiurnal changes in light availability are a defining feature of life on Earth. Photoautotrophic organisms therefore store reduced carbon during the day to sustain energy metabolism at night. In cyanobacteria, glycogen is the primary carbon storage compound and supports both energy homeostasis…
The WD40 repeat protein OsDPMS1 controls pistil development and female fertility in rice
UncategorizedAbstractThe pistil, a key female reproductive organ in flowering plants, plays a critical role in sexual reproduction. Although pistil function has been well studied in some species, the molecular mechanisms governing its development in rice (Oryza sativa) remain unclear. Here, we isolated and characterized…

Drought-Triggered JA Signaling Promotes Pathogen Susceptibility by Attenuating Lignin Defenses via UGT72BV9 in Tea Plants
UncategorizedAbstractTea plants frequently encounter combined abiotic and biotic stresses, which severely threaten sustainable tea production. However, how plants integrate responses to multiple stresses remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that short-term drought preconditioning enhances tea plant susceptibility…
A Novel Genome Editing Strategy in Plants Using Broad-Host-Range Viral Vectors Derived from Geminiviruses
UncategorizedAbstractThe use of viral vectors offers a promising alternative to traditional transformation methods for creating gene-edited plants. In this study, we developed a novel plant genome editing system by delivering Cas9, Cas12f, and Cas12j nucleases along with their guide RNAs using a broad-host-range…
PtWRKY20 negatively regulates salt tolerance in citrus rootstock Poncirus trifoliata
UncategorizedAbstractSalt stress severely limits global crop productivity. Poncirus trifoliata, a widely used citrus rootstock valued for its disease resistance, exhibits sensitivity to salt stress, presenting a major constraint for sustainable citriculture. A stepwise screening strategy identified PtWRKY20 as a…
