A SNP in the 4-Coumarate CoA ligase 1-likeα promoter induces juice sac granulation by promoting BR-mediated lignin synthesis in citrus
UncategorizedAbstractJuice sac granulation (also known as ‘Kushui’), characterized by hardening and dehydration, is a widespread physiological disorder that severely compromises fruit quality. However, the molecular mechanism and signaling pathways underlying this disorder remain largely unexplored. In this study,…

Tangential single-cell spatial transcriptomics resolves early ray lineage trajectory in poplar
UncategorizedAbstractVascular cambium drives secondary growth in woody plants, yet its closely related stem-cell populations—fusiform and ray initials—are difficult to distinguish, limiting resolution of early ray fate specification. In Populus tremula × P. alba clone 717, we integrated a two-year biweekly field…
A brassinosteroid signaling protein acts as an integrative regulator of K+ and Na+ transport in rice response to salt stress
UncategorizedAbstractMaintaining the cytosolic K+/Na+ homeostasis is crucial for plants’ salt tolerance. Therefore, elucidating the regulatory mechanism governing K+/Na+ transport is pivotal to engineering salt-tolerant crops. Although many regulators have been shown specifically to modulate either Na+ or K+ transporters,…
A GWAS-identified U-box E3 ligase MsPUB6 is positively regulated by MsDREB1C and contributes to drought tolerance in alfalfa
UncategorizedAbstractU-box-type E3 ubiquitin ligases (PUBs) are critical for signaling homeostasis and abiotic stress responses via substrate ubiquitination, yet their upstream transcriptional regulation remains largely unexplored, especially in alfalfa drought adaptation. Through GWAS of 171 alfalfa accessions,…
Epigenetic regulation of cell wall-associated WAK1 by HDC1 promotes iron remobilization under Fe-limited conditions
UncategorizedAbstractIron (Fe) deficiency is a major abiotic stress limiting crop production. HDC1, a component of the histone deacetylase complex, plays important roles in plant development and stress responses, yet its function in Fe deficiency responses remains unclear. This study reveals that HDC1 promotes the…
The chloroplast CLPD chaperone: consequences of under- and overexpression, interaction with the CLP protease core, and candidate substrates
UncategorizedAbstractExpression of the chloroplast AAA+ chaperone CLPD gene increases during senescence and drought, but its function in chloroplast proteostasis is poorly understood. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of Arabidopsis CLPD protein accumulation across development from early seedlings to senescence,…
Transcriptional activation of the orphan gene QQS by a MYB–NAC–GARP triad modulates starch and protein accumulation in Arabidopsis
UncategorizedAbstractThe Arabidopsis-specific orphan gene Qua-Quine Starch (QQS) regulates starch and protein accumulation, yet the upstream mechanisms controlling its transcription remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated transcription regulators that modulate QQS expression and associated metabolic traits.…
