Tandem MADS?Box Genes FUL2 and MADS1 Form a Regulatory Module to Repress Serotonin Biosynthesis via Direct ASMT5 Activation in Tomato Fruit
- ABSTRACTThe regulation of serotonin metabolism during fruit development and ripening remains poorly understood, despite its potential roles in plant defence and human nutrition. Here, we demonstrated...
Enhancing Metabolic Engineering in Medicinal Plants Through Prime Editing
- ABSTRACTThe Common Symbiosis Signalling Pathway (CSSP) underpins interactions between plants and microbes, yet its potential for crop improvement remains underexplored. Here, we investigated the...
A MaERF110?MaMYB308 Transcriptional Module Negatively Regulates Lignin?Mediated Defence Against Fusarium Wilt in Banana
- ABSTRACTFusarium wilt of banana (FWB), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), threatens global banana production. Lignin reinforces cell walls against pathogens and lodging, yet its...
Soil organic carbon fractions, stocks, and management index across diverse land uses in temperate India
- Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for soil health, agricultural productivity and climate change mitigation. This study quantifies the SOC content, SOC stocks and SOC fractions across various land...
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...
Artificial intelligence?powered plant phenomics: Progress, challenges, and opportunities
- AbstractArtificial intelligence (AI), a key driver of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is being rapidly integrated into plant phenomics to automate sensing, accelerate data analysis, and support...
Pangenome Analysis Reveals Structural Variations Associated With Citric Acid Accumulation in Prunus mume
- ABSTRACTPangenome can reveal a large number of variations, providing a more comprehensive view of the genetic diversity of species that a single reference genome cannot surpass. Here, we assembled...
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...
Pangenomics and single-cell transcriptomics uncover the genetic basis of continuous bearing trait in grapevine
02/09/2025 - Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) is economically important for fresh consumption, winemaking, and drying. The circadian systems of flowering and fruit development are crucial for viticulture and yield...
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...
Genome resequencing and custom genotyping elucidates the origin and dissemination history of an emblematic grapevine cultivar, ‘Tempranillo Tinto’
03/09/2025 - Grapevine cultivars are vegetatively propagated to maintain their varietal characteristics. However, long periods of cultivar multiplication result in the accumulation of spontaneous somatic...
The grape berry methylome reveals tissue-specific features associated with metabolism in ripening
17/09/2025 - DNA methylation is a critical epigenetic regulator in plant development, yet its role in grape berry ripening remains poorly understood. Here, we profiled the genome-wide DNA methylation landscapes...
Interspecific hybridization history of Vaccinium berry crops and potential in wild relatives
17/09/2025 - Wild species have been extensively used as a reservoir of genetic variability in plant breeding. Both blueberries and cranberries are crops from the highly diverse Vaccinium genus that have benefited...
Uncovering the genetic architecture of pungency, carotenoids, and flavor in Capsicum chinense via TWAS-mGWAS integration and spatial transcriptomics
15/09/2025 - Capsicum chinense (habanero pepper) exhibits substantial variation in fruit pungency, color, and flavor due to its rich secondary metabolite composition, including capsaicinoids, carotenoids, and...
Controlling banana bunchy top disease in Benin: Crop protection strategies with socio?economic perspectives
- Banana and plantain are vital for food security and income in West Africa, yet banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) threatens production. This study combined remote sensing, field surveys, modelling and...
Improved Nitrogen Practices Reduce Nitrate and Dissolved Organic Nitrogen Leaching in a Greenhouse Vegetable Production System in North China
- The total nitrogen (N) leaching in farmers' practice (FP) accounted for 15% of N input with a high ratio of dissolved organic N (DON). The current recommended nutrient management (CRNM) reduced...
Trends in land prices paid for farms redistributed under the proactive land acquisition strategy in South Africa (2005–2018)
- IntroductionSouth Africa’s market-based land reform has long been criticised for its slow pace, partly due to concerns about limited budgets, alleged inflated land prices, and the acquisition of...
