In the GmNAC3—GmMYB60—GmCYS20 module, GmNAC3 represses the transcription factor gene GmMYB60 and GmMYB60 suppresses the cysteine biosynthetic gene GmCYS20. GmCYS20-mediated cysteine metabolism feeds ...

In apple, the nitrate signaling-responsive factor MdLBD36 and the phosphate signaling-responsive factor MdPHR1 recruit the transcription factor MdBZR1 to enhance its transcriptional activation of the...

Drought limits carbon gain in crops, yet the functional role of bulliform cells in regulating gas exchange and water-use efficiency remains unclear. Here, we tested whether natural variation in bulli....

Natural variation in the GRAIN NUMBER AND PLANT HEIGHT 1 (GNH1) promoter alleviates repression by the C2H2-type transcription factor ZFP36, upregulating GNH1 expression and promoting auxin accumulati...

Engineered the plant-colonizing yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to produce and deliver double-stranded RNAs targeting key genes of the gray mold fungus Botrytis cinerea produced a ‘living factory’ that con...

This Commentary defines five interconnected biophysical parameters of cellular water status and proposes a hierarchical framework integrating cell-surface osmosensors with intracellular liquid–liquid...

The escalating frequency and intensity of recent droughts threaten global crop production and food security. Although drought priming is crucial for plant drought resilience, the mechanisms imparting....

Engineering rice endosperm with modules for vitamin binding, lipid storage, and antioxidant protection enriched water- and fat-soluble vitamins without compromising key agronomic traits and maintaine...

Sequence analysis of 80 citrus genomes revealed that ancient hybridization combined different color-determining genes and identified CitPSY1 as the core engine driving pulp coloration, providing prec...

Loss of glyoxalase 1 has a minimal impact on protein glycation in a murine model for metabolic syndrome. These mice have reduced hepatic steatosis despite impaired glucose handling.

A hierarchical engineering strategy was used to enhance the editing activity of Casδ, yielding an optimized variant termed enCasδ. This variant enables robust genome editing in animal cells and plant...
