AbstractSWEETs are a family of ancient sugar transporters found in Archaea, Eubacteria, oomycetes, fungi, plants and metazoa. In plants, SWEETs play central roles in carbon allocation from source to sink tissues, as well as reproductive development, response to changes in environmental conditions, and…

AbstractHigh temperature restricts anthocyanin accumulation in grape berries, but how transcriptional repressors coordinate with chromatin regulation remains unclear. We identified the MYB repressor VvMYBC2-L1 as a heat-responsive regulator through transcriptome analysis and functional assays. VvMYBC2-L1…

AbstractMale sterility is crucial for solving pollen contamination and promoting inter-varietal hybridization. As the innermost layer of the anther, the tapetum directly contacts microspores, and tapetal abnormalities typically lead directly to male sterility. However, the regulatory mechanisms of tapetal…

AbstractPlants recognize conserved pathogen-derived molecules to activate pattern-triggered immunity (PTI), yet many secreted proteins from oomycete pathogens remain functionally uncharacterized. Here, we identified PcCF16, a previously uncharacterized secreted protein from Phytophthora capsici, through…
