Transcription factor ANAC087 coordinates symplastic Cd exclusion and apoplastic Cd sequestration to enhance cadmium resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana
UncategorizedAbstractCadmium (Cd) exclusion and sequestration are vital mechanisms for plant survival under heavy metal stress, yet the upstream regulatory networks governing these coordinated processes remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified the NAC transcription factor ANAC087 as a key positive regulator…
OsGSK2-OsBSK3 feedback loop controls rice BR signaling
UncategorizedAbstractBrassinosteroids (BRs) are essential plant hormones that regulate growth and development, including leaf angle regulation and grain size determination. Maintaining appropriate BR signaling requires precise coordination between pathway activation and attenuation. BR signaling is initiated by OsBRI1…
The energy sensor SnRK1 promotes starvation-induced autophagosome formation by modulating ATG13a phosphorylation in Arabidopsis
UncategorizedAbstractIn eukaryotes, autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved cellular degradation and recycling process that is tightly associated with cellular nutrient status. The energy sensor SNF1-RELATED KINASE 1 (SnRK1) is thought to sense nutrient starvation and induce autophagy, but how it regulates autophagosome…
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…
