A Grass-Specific Structural Myosin VIII Regulates Protoxylem Development and Hydraulic Conductance in Sorghum
UncategorizedAbstractSorghum (Sorghum bicolor), a C4 grass adapted to hot semi-arid environments, depends on reinforced xylem vessels to maintain hydraulic conductance under high evaporative demand. During xylem differentiation, coordinated microtubule and actin dynamics guide secondary cell wall (SCW) deposition;…
A Trichoderma milRNA cross-species targeting chitin synthases genes is delivered by carbon nanomaterials to suppress Botrytis cinerea
UncategorizedAbstractBotrytis cinerea is a globally destructive plant pathogen that threatens major agricultural crops. Although biocontrol agents are widely used against this fungus, their inconsistent efficacy reflects a limited mechanistic understanding, hindering the development of effective disease management…
The circadian clock protein CmLHY integrates strigolactone signaling to regulate short-day-induced flowering in chrysanthemum
UncategorizedAbstractFlowering is a key ornamental trait in chrysanthemum and a major agronomic trait affecting rice yield. Strigolactones (SLs) are a class of phytohormones that regulate diverse aspects of plant growth and development, including flowering time. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying SL-mediated…

UncategorizedNewton, Iowa, Opportunity: Lead, Tweak, and Perfect
Our client is not just looking for someone to "monitor" machines; they are looking for a technical authority who lives and breathes RJG Decoupled Molding . This is a high-visibility role in a dynamic manufacturing environment where you will not…
The loss of COP1 delays senescence and inhibits root growth through modulation of sucrose allocation and availability
UncategorizedAbstractCONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1) participates in diverse signaling pathways that regulate plant growth and development, but its role in sucrose-mediated signaling remains unclear. Here, we show that COP1 contributes to leaf senescence and root growth by modulating sucrose allocation and…
A peach esterase/lipase mediates lipid remodeling as a protective mechanism against chilling injury
UncategorizedAbstractPeach fruit is highly susceptible to chilling injury, which induces internal browning during long-term low-temperature storage. Internal browning was found to occur only at intermediate temperatures (5, 8, and 12 °C), but not at either lower (0 °C) or higher (16 °C) temperatures. Proteomic…
Dlo-miR164a-DlNAC100 module regulates floral bud induction by activating DlCOL4 expression in longan
UncategorizedAbstractLongan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) is an economically significant subtropical crop of the Sapindaceae family. Floral bud induction is a critical process that directly determines fruit yield and quality in longan cultivation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying floral bud induction remain…
Sorbitol dehydrogenase aids grain-fill and integrates carbohydrate metabolism with redox in the hypoxic maize endosperm
UncategorizedAbstractExtreme low oxygen is typical of microenvironments inside developing grains, thus requiring metabolic adaptations to hypoxia. Potential contributions from sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) are tested here for maize (Zea mays) since the reversible reaction (fructose + NADH ↔ sorbitol + NAD+) can…
