Brown algae produce hydrocarbons via fatty acid photodecarboxylase-dependent and -independent pathways
UncategorizedAbstractAcross the tree of life, diverse organisms synthesize hydrocarbons (HCs) from fatty acids using various enzymes. In plants and insects, HCs are typically excreted (e.g. waxes, pheromones), whereas in algae, they seem to be mostly intracellular and membrane-associated. To date, all studied organisms…
MdXERICO negatively regulates salt tolerance in apple through ubiquitination and degradation of MdJAZ10
UncategorizedAbstractThe growth, development, and yield of the globally important economic crop, apple, are severely restricted by soil salinisation, which is driven by multiple environmental and human factors. Thus, breeding salt-tolerant apple varieties by deciphering key salt-stress response mechanisms is crucial…
Cysteine-rich receptor-like kinase and MADS-box co-regulation of programmed cell death drives apical spikelet degeneration in wheat
UncategorizedAbstractSpikelet degeneration and pollen sterility are primary constraints on grain set in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), yet their molecular underpinnings remain poorly defined. We characterized degenerated spikelets 1 (ds1), a wheat mutant displaying apical spikelet degeneration and middle spikelet…

RING-type E3 ligase RhSAREL promotes flower senescence by differentially regulating two TMBIM family members, RhTMBIM1 and RhTMBIM7, in Rosa hybrida
UncategorizedAbstractFlower senescence significantly impacts the postharvest quality of cut roses (Rosa hybrida). E3 ligases orchestrate a diverse array of processes in plants, including organ development and stress responses. However, the molecular mechanisms of E3 ligases in flower senescence remain largely unknown.…
Epigenetic Modulators in Plants: Mechanistic Insights, Screening Approaches, and Prospective Applications
UncategorizedAbstractEpigenetic regulation governs plant growth, development, and environmental adaptation through dynamic control and stress memory mechanisms. However, research and application of plant epigenetics face several limitations. Functional redundancy within epigenetic gene families obscures phenotypic…
CsSHR1 regulates compact plant architecture by mediating cell division in cucumber
UncategorizedAbstractA compact plant architecture is a crucial agronomic trait that enhances crop yields by allowing for increased planting densities, thereby meeting the growing food requirements. We previously identified a GRAS family transcription factor, SCARECROW-LIKE28 (CsSCL28), from cucumber (Cucumis sativus…
