Identification and Catalytic Optimization of Pinene Oxidases in Paeoniflorin Biosynthetic Pathway
UncategorizedAbstractPaeoniflorin is a pharmacologically important cage-like monoterpene glycoside characteristic of Paeonia plants, yet its biosynthetic pathway has remained largely unresolved, hindering sustainable production. Here, we confirmed that paeoniflorin biosynthesis originates from α-pinene and identified…
Unlocking the Full Potential of Spatial Omics in Plants: Practical Challenges, Solutions, and a Path Forward
UncategorizedAbstractSpatial omics technologies are providing new opportunities for plant biology by enabling molecular profiling within structurally intact tissues, revealing spatially organised cell states, developmental gradients, and regulatory interactions. While spatial transcriptomics has driven early advances,…
Natural variant of microProtein SMART1 confers 3S plant architecture traits and high-density tolerance in maize
UncategorizedAbstractHigh-density planting is a critical strategy for maximizing maize (Zea mays L.) yield. The ideotype for maize dense planting requires a shade-tolerant traits characterized by semi-dwarf, sturdy stems, and smart canopy structure (termed 3S traits), which collectively enhance logging resistance…
Single cell transcriptome reveals the molecular pathways of MADS-box genes in maize ovule development
UncategorizedAbstractFlowers are the reproductive structures of flowering plants, involved in seed production. A mature flower has four whorls of specialized organs that differentiate from heterogeneous cell clusters in the floral meristem. However, the mechanisms controlling the specialization of floral meristem…
HYPK Interacts with COP1 and Enhances Its Activity to Repress Photomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis
UncategorizedAbstractPlants sense light through photoreceptors to switch from skotomorphogenesis in darkness to photomorphogenesis upon light exposure. This transition is centrally governed by the CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENESIS1 (COP1)/SUPPRESSOR OF PHYA-105 (SPA) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, which targets photomorphogenesis-promoting…
Inferring cell division from cell shape
UncategorizedAbstractCell division patterns shape developing organs, but their systematic analysis remains limited by the technical difficulty of existing detection methods. Here, we present a practical method for inferring recent daughter-cell pairs from static cell shapes. Although cell divisions have long been…

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,…
