ABA mediates seasonal drought-induced citrate accumulation in citrus fruit through transcriptional and post-translational regulation of CsMADS1
UncategorizedAbstractSeasonal drought at fruit enlargement stage increases citrus fruit acidity, but the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. Here, CsMADS1, a MADS-box transcription factor, was identified as a positive regulator of abscisic acid (ABA)-induced citrate accumulation associated with…
Are plant annexins new components of protein complexes at membrane contact sites?
UncategorizedAbstractAnnexins, as cytosolic and membrane-associated proteins, are essential for cellular processes in a wide range of eukaryotic organisms, spanning from humans to plants. They can bind calcium ions, phospholipids and cytoskeletal components, and thus play a crucial role in membrane organization,…
The MaPUB23-mediated degradation of the MaHSFB1-MaHDA2 counteracts high temperature-inhibited chlorophyll degradation in banana
UncategorizedAbstractBanana fruits ripening at or above 30 °C soften but retain a green peel. Elucidating the mechanism underlying this high temperature-induced repression of chlorophyll catabolism would help to improve the marketability of bananas. Toward this end, we compared banana fruits ripened at 20 °C and…
Phosphorylation Alters the Condensation State of the Potato Transcription Factor bZIP18 to Enhance Plant Immunity
UncategorizedAbstractBiomolecular condensates formed by transcription factors (TFs) via liquid-liquid phase separation enable precise spatiotemporal control of eukaryotic gene expression. Although phosphorylation is a well-established regulator of TF activity, its capacity to remodel condensate organization and transcriptional…
Telomere-to-telomere assemblies of Glycine soja and Glycine max uncover novel genomic features of soybean
UncategorizedAbstractAchieving complete, gap-free genome assemblies remains a central challenge in genomics, particularly for repeat-rich plant genomes. Although several telomere-to-telomere (T2T) assemblies have been reported for soybean, highly repetitive genomic regions and the mitochondrial genome remain insufficiently…
Comparative transcriptomics reveals a novel variant of an energy signaling regulator for lateral branch domestication in cucumber
UncategorizedAbstractGenetic alleles derived from wild resources are of great importance for crop breeding and improvement; however, connecting the dots between the functional variants and genetic traits is a significant challenge due to the need for precise, diverse, and large-scale phenotyping. Differential transcripts,…
