How Can Ancient Trees Remain Chemically Defended Over Centuries to Millennia?
Blog, ResearchAncient trees exhibit remarkable longevity amid changing environments over centuries to millennia. To achieve defense against biotic stresses, extensive secondary metabolism reprogramming is needed. However, the regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, using Ginkgo biloba individuals ranging…
The Role of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase-Protein Kinase in C4 Photosynthesis: Insights from Zea mays Mutant Analysis
UncategorizedAbstractUnderstanding the regulation of enzyme activity involved in photosynthesis is essential for engineering enhanced carbon fixation in crops. In C4 plants, the enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC, EC 4.1.1.31) is one of the most abundant leaf enzymes and plays an essential role in photosynthetic…
Recessive antimorph alleles reveal novel functions of the Opaque1 myosin XI in maize
UncategorizedAbstractIdeal plant architecture optimizes canopy structure and increases grain yield in maize. However, its underlying genetic mechanisms remain poorly characterized. Two recessive, EMS-induced maize mutants were identified that have reduced stature, opaque kernels, and abnormal subsidiary cell division,…
OsMYB8-OsARF12/25 module fine-tunes tiller angle via auxin signaling pathway in rice
UncategorizedAbstractTiller angle is a critical determinant of rice plant architecture and significantly impacts grain yield by influencing planting density and photosynthetic efficiency. Although auxin signaling is known to affect tiller angle in rice, the detailed regulatory networks remain largely unknown. In…
Spatiotemporal Metabolomics of Tobacco Leaves in Response to Pseudomonas syringae Infection
UncategorizedAbstractTobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is a major economic crop and a model for plant–pathogen interactions, yet the spatiotemporal dynamics of defense metabolism during infection remain poorly characterized. Here, we used MALDI–MSI-based spatial metabolomics to systematically profile tobacco leaves…
