RiLinc6978-encoded P6978 interacts with ASR1 to regulate ROS homeostasis
UncategorizedAbstractTomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit ripening is tightly associated with dynamic changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis, yet the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify a functional protein, P6978, encoded by the long non-coding RNA RiLinc6978,…

Drought-Triggered JA Signaling Promotes Pathogen Susceptibility by Attenuating Lignin Defenses via UGT72BV9 in Tea Plants
UncategorizedAbstractTea plants frequently encounter combined abiotic and biotic stresses, which severely threaten sustainable tea production. However, how plants integrate responses to multiple stresses remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that short-term drought preconditioning enhances tea plant susceptibility…
The control of prickle formation in Rubus
UncategorizedAbstractPrickles on blackberry and raspberry canes make pruning, harvesting, and handling more difficult and can increase labor costs for growers. The trait has been challenging to improve in these clonal crops because it is recessive and linked to undesirable agronomic traits. In blackberry and red…
Epigenetic regulation and transcriptional divergence underpin lignification in rapidly growing Moso bamboo
UncategorizedAbstractMoso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) is characterized by its unparalleled rapid growth (up to 114.5 cm d−1) and concurrent lignification; however, the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms orchestrating this process remain largely unexplored. Here, we integrated RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and DAP-seq analyses…
A Novel Genome Editing Strategy in Plants Using Broad-Host-Range Viral Vectors Derived from Geminiviruses
UncategorizedAbstractThe use of viral vectors offers a promising alternative to traditional transformation methods for creating gene-edited plants. In this study, we developed a novel plant genome editing system by delivering Cas9, Cas12f, and Cas12j nucleases along with their guide RNAs using a broad-host-range…
PtWRKY20 negatively regulates salt tolerance in citrus rootstock Poncirus trifoliata
UncategorizedAbstractSalt stress severely limits global crop productivity. Poncirus trifoliata, a widely used citrus rootstock valued for its disease resistance, exhibits sensitivity to salt stress, presenting a major constraint for sustainable citriculture. A stepwise screening strategy identified PtWRKY20 as a…
