Identification and Catalytic Optimization of Pinene Oxidases in Paeoniflorin Biosynthetic Pathway
UncategorizedAbstractPaeoniflorin is a pharmacologically important cage-like monoterpene glycoside characteristic of Paeonia plants, yet its biosynthetic pathway has remained largely unresolved, hindering sustainable production. Here, we confirmed that paeoniflorin biosynthesis originates from α-pinene and identified…
Unlocking the Full Potential of Spatial Omics in Plants: Practical Challenges, Solutions, and a Path Forward
UncategorizedAbstractSpatial omics technologies are providing new opportunities for plant biology by enabling molecular profiling within structurally intact tissues, revealing spatially organised cell states, developmental gradients, and regulatory interactions. While spatial transcriptomics has driven early advances,…
OsMYBR17 enhances thermotolerance in rice by activating OsLEA4 and reinforcing antioxidant defense
UncategorizedAbstractHeat stress (HS) severely threatens rice (Oryza sativa) growth, development and yield formation; elucidating regulatory mechanisms underlying rice thermotolerance is essential. Here, we dissected the role of OsMYBR17, a previously uncharacterized R2R3-MYB transcription factor, in the heat-stress…
Three-dimensional ultrastructural analysis of fertilization-defective Arabidopsis mutants using STEM and array tomography
UncategorizedAbstractDouble fertilization in angiosperms is completed by the fusion of two sperm cells with the egg and central cells. While sperm membrane proteins such as GEX2, DMP8/9, and GCS1/HAP2 have been identified as key regulators of gamete attachment and fusion, their specific ultrastructural roles within…
Natural variant of microProtein SMART1 confers 3S plant architecture traits and high-density tolerance in maize
UncategorizedAbstractHigh-density planting is a critical strategy for maximizing maize (Zea mays L.) yield. The ideotype for maize dense planting requires a shade-tolerant traits characterized by semi-dwarf, sturdy stems, and smart canopy structure (termed 3S traits), which collectively enhance logging resistance…
Single cell transcriptome reveals the molecular pathways of MADS-box genes in maize ovule development
UncategorizedAbstractFlowers are the reproductive structures of flowering plants, involved in seed production. A mature flower has four whorls of specialized organs that differentiate from heterogeneous cell clusters in the floral meristem. However, the mechanisms controlling the specialization of floral meristem…
HYPK Interacts with COP1 and Enhances Its Activity to Repress Photomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis
UncategorizedAbstractPlants sense light through photoreceptors to switch from skotomorphogenesis in darkness to photomorphogenesis upon light exposure. This transition is centrally governed by the CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENESIS1 (COP1)/SUPPRESSOR OF PHYA-105 (SPA) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, which targets photomorphogenesis-promoting…
