Characterization of Rhizosphere Oxidation Associated with Root Development in Rice Using Planar Oxygen Optodes
UncategorizedAbstractRhizosphere oxidation is a key adaptive mechanism in reductive soil environments, in which oxygen released from roots alters rhizosphere redox conditions and regulates biogeochemical processes. Rice plants possess an internal oxygen transport system, and radial oxygen loss (ROL) from roots is…
BnaC03.MYB56 and BnaA09.MYB61 antagonistically regulate flavonoid metabolism in Brassica napus
UncategorizedAbstractFlavonoid biosynthesis is negatively correlated with seed oil content in B. napus. However, the molecular mechanisms of flavonoid metabolism mediated by MYB repressor in B. napus are still not well understood. In this study, we identify an R2R3-MYB transcription factor, BnaC03.MYB56, which regulates…
SgPHR1-SgPAE1 module modulates root growth and increases low phosphorus tolerance in Stylosanthes guianensis
UncategorizedAbstractPhosphorus (P) deficiency severely limits agricultural productivity in tropical acid soils. Stylosanthes guianensis (stylo), a vital forage legume in the tropics, exhibits high tolerance to low P stress. While numerous phosphate (Pi) starvation response genes have been documented in stylo, its…
A natural small molecule 2-amino-3-methylhexanoic acid enhances tomato thermotolerance via stabilization of the key mediator SlGAD4
UncategorizedAbstractPlant resistance inducers (PRIs) are bioactive compounds that trigger protective responses, offering promise for reducing stress-induced yield losses in agriculture. The natural PRI (2S, 3S)-2-amino-3-methylhexanoic acid (AMHA) markedly improves tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) tolerance to high…
MdKIM1-MdMYB306 enhances apple resistance to Cytospora mali via brassinosteroid biosynthesis under sufficient potassium status
UncategorizedAbstractPotassium (K) supplementation enhances apple (Malus ×domestica) resistance to Cytospora mali, thereby reducing apple Cytospora canker occurrence in the field. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying this K-enhanced resistance remain largely unelucidated. Here, we found that brassinosteroid…

Symbiont effectors modulate plant signalling to increase host stress resilience
UncategorizedAbstractPlant colonizing mutualistic symbionts confer beneficial effects to their hosts, which often includes increased growth, and biotic and abiotic stress resilience. How these benefits are activated on a molecular level is mostly unknown. Here, we describe effector candidates of the fungal symbiont…
Regulatory Network Unveils the Molecular Architecture Governing Seed Vigor in Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus)
UncategorizedAbstractSeed vigor, a determinant of agricultural productivity, diminishes during ageing but can be restored through priming. We integrated multi-omics approaches to dissect molecular mechanisms governing watermelon seed vigor under controlled deterioration and priming. Controlled deterioration (CD)…
