Rapid alkalinization factors (RALFs) in plants have been reported to dampen pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity via suppressing PAMP-induced complex formation between the pattern recognition receptor (PRR) and it...
Efficient CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis) [0.03%]
一种羊草(Cool季型禾草)的CRISPR/Cas9基因组编辑有效方法
Zhelong Lin,Lei Chen,Shanjie Tang et al.
Zhelong Lin et al.
The lack of genome editing platforms has hampered efforts to study and improve forage crops that can be grown on lands not suited to other crops. Here, we established efficient Agrobacterium-mediated clustered regularly interspaced palindro...
Multi-omics analysis reveals the evolutionary origin of diterpenoid alkaloid biosynthesis pathways in Aconitum [0.03%]
多组学分析揭示了毛茛属植物二萜类生物碱生物合成途径的起源
Dake Zhao,Ya Zhang,Huanxing Ren et al.
Dake Zhao et al.
Diterpenoid alkaloids (DAs) have been often utilized in clinical practice due to their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Natural DAs are prevalent in the family Ranunculaceae, notably in the Aconitum genus. Nevertheless, the evolu...

This Highlight features a recent study showing that the soybean BAHD-type soyasaponin acetyltransferase GmSSAcT1 is responsible for three or four sequential acetylation steps in type-A soyasaponin biosynthesis and that loss of GmSSAcT1 func...
The SlWRKY57-SlVQ21/SlVQ16 module regulates salt stress in tomato [0.03%]
SlWRKY57-SlVQ21/SlVQ16模块调节番茄的盐胁迫响应
Jilin Ma,Chonghua Li,Lulu Sun et al.
Jilin Ma et al.
Salt stress is a major abiotic stress which severely hinders crop production. However, the regulatory network controlling tomato resistance to salt remains unclear. Here, we found that the tomato WRKY transcription factor WRKY57 acted as a ...
Natural variation of GmFATA1B regulates seed oil content and composition in soybean [0.03%]
GsFATA1位点的自然变异调控大豆籽粒油分和脂肪酸组成
Zhandong Cai,Peiqi Xian,Yanbo Cheng et al.
Zhandong Cai et al.
Soybean (Glycine max) produces seeds that are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and is an important oilseed crop worldwide. Seed oil content and composition largely determine the economic value of soybean. Due to natural genetic variation, se...
Non-specific phospholipase C4 hydrolyzes phosphosphingolipids and phosphoglycerolipids and promotes rapeseed growth and yield [0.03%]
