Examining the effect of farm and farmers' characteristics and input allocation on potato production

- The objective of this research was to examine the effects of farm and farmers' characteristics, and input allocation on potato production in Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, using...

Facultative heterochromatin mediated by core and accessory chromosome-encoded H3K27-specific methyltransferases controls virulence in a fungal phytopathogen

06/01/2026 - In many fungal phytopathogens, infection is regulated by accessory genomic regions enriched in facultative heterochromatin, but the precise role of this chromatin state in virulence is poorly...

Potyviruses recruit host eIF4A3 to block m6A-mediated RNA decay by steric hindrance of viral RNA methylation in plants

08/01/2026 - N6-methyladenosine (m6A), a critical epitranscriptomic modification, regulates RNA metabolism and antiviral defenses. However, how pathogens evade m6A-mediated RNA decay in plants remains poorly...

Use of Split?Intein Proteins to Design a Small Molecule Biosensor in Plants

- ABSTRACTFruit shape is an important external quality trait that directly determines the market value. Modification of fruit shape has emerged as a key focus in crop improvement, but the regulatory...

Reprogramming of Gene Transcripts and Metabolites by the Wild Soybean Endophyte Pseudomonas sp. 77S3 Improves Soybean Salt Tolerance

- ABSTRACTSoybean is a critical source of protein and vegetable oil worldwide. Expanding its cultivation into salinity lands represents a promising strategy for increasing production; however, soil...

Maize Knows Friends or Foes? The Dark Side of Trichoderma asperellum as a Maize Ear Rot Pathogenic Fungus

- ABSTRACTCannabinoids, such as tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) and cannabichromenic acid (CBCA), are bioactive and medicinally relevant compounds found in the cannabis...

Foliar application of surfactant-stabilized nanoscale zero-valent iron inhibits fluoranthene accumulation and alleviates phytotoxicity in tomato

- To inhibit the uptake and accumulation of fluoranthene (Flu) in tomatoes cultivated in Flu-contaminated soil, foliar application of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) was employed. The dispersion...

Chlorogenic Acid From Pseudopestalotiopsis camelliae?sinensis, Regulated by PscC3H, Inhibits the Growth of Tea Anthracnose Pathogen Colletotrichum camelliae

- Pseudopestalotiopsis camelliae?sinensis produces bioactive metabolites that inhibit Colletotrichum camelliae growth, with metabolomic and antifungal analyses identifying CGA as the key inhibitor. The...

Production Status, Breeding Priorities and Genetic Resources of Cowpea in Post?Civil War Somalia

- ABSTRACTOver the past three decades, Somalia has experienced recurrent civil conflic and prolonged droughts. These crises have displaced farming communities, weakened traditional seed systems and...

South Asia-specific adaptation of Mediterranean diet principles: a mixed-methods review for practical and sustainable dietary habits

- South Asia, home to nearly 2 billion people, faces a dual burden of persistent malnutrition and rapidly rising rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Dietary patterns are...

The ClWRKY53-ClBCM/ClSGR module controls plant senescence via chlorophyll degradation in watermelon

03/09/2025 - Senescence is a complex biological process coordinately regulated by multiple genes at the molecular level. Deciphering its regulatory mechanisms holds significant potential for enhancing crop yield...

QTL and candidate gene analysis unveil genetic control of floret aliphatic glucosinolate side-chain modification in Brassica oleracea through multiparent F? populations

03/09/2025 - Glucosinolates (GSLs) are sulfur-containing metabolites in Brassica species with dual roles in plant defense and human health. While glucoraphanin (GRA) offers anticancer benefits, progoitrin (PRO)...

SlCV affects starch metabolism by regulating SlBAM3 stability under low night temperature stress in tomatoes

03/09/2025 - Nocturnal starch remobilization is critical for plant carbon allocation and stress adaptation. While ?-amylase 3 (BAM3) serves as the primary catalyst for starch degradation at night, its regulation...
