From stress perception to metabolite disposition: dynamic regulation of stilbene biosynthesis in plants
UncategorizedAbstractStilbenes are inducible plant specialized metabolites, best exemplified by resveratrol, a phytoalexin that links environmental perception, defense responses, and phenylpropanoid resource allocation. Stilbene accumulation may be controlled at three mechanistically distinct levels: signaling cascades…

Identification photosynthesis-related genes in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) by hyperspectral phenomics, GWAS and RNA-seq
UncategorizedAbstractPeanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) contributes importantly to the global food supply, and its yield potential is closely linked to leaf photosynthetic efficiency. However, conventional measurement of leaf net-photosynthetic-rate (Leaf Pn) is time- and labor-intensive, limiting its application to large…
Distinct root apoplastic barrier distribution and conserved peroxidase function in desert trees
UncategorizedAbstractThe formation of extracellular barriers in roots plays a critical role in maintaining water balance and nutrient homeostasis; however, their molecular composition and physiological roles in desert-adapted plants remain largely unexplored.Here, we examine apoplastic barrier formation in the roots…
RuBP availability contributes to the regulation of RUBISCO activity in Synechocystis
UncategorizedAbstractRIBULOSE-1,5-BISPHOSPHATE CARBOXYLASE/OXYGENASE (RUBISCO) and the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle assimilate most of the inorganic carbon on earth. Conserved CP12 proteins control diurnal C-assimilation of the CBB cycle. Their function originated in cyanobacteria that deactivate GLYCERALDEHYDE…
Coordination of lignin and pectin remodeling by a NAC transcription factor regulates seed abscission in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)
UncategorizedAbstractSeed shattering, which facilitates seed dispersal, is essential for plant reproduction but causes substantial yield loss in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.). It occurs through capsule dehiscence and/or seed abscission from the placenta, either simultaneously or independently depending on the species.…
Conserved DEAD-box RNA helicases regulate RNA silencing and plant immunity and are targeted by a powdery mildew effector
UncategorizedAbstractRNA silencing is a conserved defense mechanism that protects plants against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. Although diverse pathogens have evolved effectors that suppress host RNA silencing, whether powdery mildew fungi exploit this strategy and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain…
