ClRbx1 as a component of the SCF complex in the regulation of self-incompatibility and salt stress response in 'Xiangshui' lemon [0.03%]
Yi Nai,Yuze Li,Yuexing Zhang et al.
Yi Nai et al.
RING box Protein 1 (Rbx1) is a RING-domain protein that serves as the catalytic core of the SKP1-Cullin1-F-box (SCF) ubiquitin ligase complex. It is implicated in the ubiquitination process during plant self-incompatibility, growth, and abi...

Drought threatens apple (Malus domestica) growth and productivity, often leading to irreversible economic losses. C1-papain family cysteine proteases are key enzymes in plant responses to abiotic stress, yet their specific roles under droug...
DcGATA20, a member of the GATA family, plays a positive role in carrot chlorophyll biosynthesis [0.03%]
Shan-Shan Tan,Ao-Qi Duan,Yuan-Jie Deng et al.
Shan-Shan Tan et al.
GATA transcription factors play important roles in plant development as well as light and hormone responses. Carrot is a kind of valuable root vegetable. The above-ground part of the carrot is affected by light during growth, which in turn ...
Inhibition or interference? Revisiting allelopathy through the effects of Triadica sebifera on Chrysanthemum seticuspe as a model system [0.03%]
ZePeng Sheng,Lydia Ratna Bunthara,Hirotsuna Yamada et al.
ZePeng Sheng et al.
Allelopathy has been viewed as an interaction in which plant-released secondary metabolites suppress the growth of neighboring plants through direct toxic effects. However, this perspective likely overestimates the role of toxicity. It rema...
BR signaling mitigates Cu toxicity in rice by integrating ROS homeostasis with copper translocation [0.03%]
Huaying Du,Lulu Sun,Quanlei Shentu et al.
Huaying Du et al.
Excessive copper (Cu) accumulation in soils triggers phytotoxicity and severely impairs crop growth and yield. Cu absorbed by plant roots is distributed to various tissues through root-to-shoot translocation. Although phytohormones have bee...
NtMBD1 regulates shoot branching regulation and evolutionary differentiation in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) [0.03%]
Qi Wu,Lixianqiu Wang,Ruiqi Ma et al.
Qi Wu et al.
Branching regulation and biomass accumulation are key determinants of tobacco productivity and bioenergy potential, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying branching control in tobacco remain poorly understood. Here, we characterize the ntm...
Homozygous IbGBSS1 knockouts in hexaploid sweet potato enable amylose-free starch without a yield trade-off [0.03%]
Haozhen Nie,Zhenying Zheng,Weijuan Fan et al.
Haozhen Nie et al.
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is a major crop and an important industrial starch source; however, its hexaploid genome has hindered the generation of complete gene knockouts. Because the amylose-to-amylopectin ratio determines starch funct...
Flavonoid and isoflavonoid biosynthetic gene expression is affected by MYB36 transcription factor deficiency in Lotus japonicus [0.03%]
María Dolores Monje-Rueda,Peter Pal Ove-Balang,Sonia Morales-Escribano et al.
María Dolores Monje-Rueda et al.
MYB36 was recently identified as a transcription factor (TF) that may be involved in isoflavonoid metabolism and stress responses in the model legume Lotus japonicus. To further explore its role, we performed a comparative transcriptomic an...
Commentary: Do plants perceive sound? A mechanistic perspective on sound-induced plant responses [0.03%]
Ramasubramanian Sabarivasan,R Jeevanraj,Kandasamy Adhisankaran et al.
Ramasubramanian Sabarivasan et al.
Plants are subject to constant exposure to mechanical vibrations due to wind, rainfall, soil movement, and biological processes, yet the ability of plants to detect airborne sound remains under active investigation. Here, we synthesize cell...
ZmWRKY74 participates in maize drought stress response through regulating antioxidant enzyme activity and proline accumulation [0.03%]
Zhongxian Ma,Xueshi Zhang,Dongxu Zhao et al.
Zhongxian Ma et al.
Maize (Zea mays L.) is a profoundly important food crop and industrial raw material. However, the increasing frequency of drought events in recent years poses a serious threat to its production. Unravelling the molecular mechanisms underlyi...
