VmUGT88A65 and VmUGT88A66 orchestrate root development and pathogen resistance in tung tree via flavonoid and lignin glycosylation
UncategorizedAbstractVernicia montana possesses a robust root system and exhibits high resistance to the soil-borne fungus Fusarium. The molecular mechanism underlying this resistance remains largely elusive. Here, we identified the species-specific UDP-glucosyltransferase coding genes VmUGT88A65 and VmUGT88A66 in…

D53-SPL14/17-WOX11 module modulates rice crown root development adaptations to changes in nitrogen availability
UncategorizedAbstractNitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for food crops. Plants respond to low N (LN) stress through altering their root morphology. Strigolactones (SLs) are important modulators of root growth in plants. However, the functions of SLs and their downstream pathway in N-modulated formation of…
Ammonium-Nitrate Ratio and Soil Moisture Jointly Regulate Early-Spring Nitrogen Acquisition Through Root Architectural Plasticity in Apple
UncategorizedAbstractEarly-spring nitrogen (N) acquisition in perennial fruit trees represents a critical physiological bottleneck determining vegetative-reproductive balance, as remobilized woody-tissue N supports initial growth but excessive depletion compromises reproductive performance. The interactive effects…
The cysteine protease PAI1 acts as a quantitative metabolic coordinator of amino acid flux for pollen maturation and anther dehiscence in rice
UncategorizedAbstractThe coordination of pollen maturation and anther dehiscence is essential for cereal fertility, yet the metabolic mechanisms linking these processes remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the rice cysteine protease PAI1 (Pollen Anther Integrator 1) functions as a quantitative metabolic…
The miR166a-MpATHB8 module regulates anthocyanin accumulation to increase rust resistance in Malus ‘Profusion’ leaves
UncategorizedApple rust, caused by the fungal pathogen Gymnosporangium yamadae, leads to substantial yield losses and significant economic damage. In the rust-resistant cultivar Malus ‘Profusion’, rust infection triggers anthocyanin synthesis at infection sites as a defense mechanism to restrict fungal proliferation.…
