Research Article
CaSun1, a SUN family protein, governs the pathogenicity of Colletotrichum camelliae by recruiting CaAtg8 to promote mitophagy
Shuai Meng and others
Camellia oleifera , a woody oilseed plant native to China, is highly susceptible to anthracnose, a fungal disease that poses a significant threat to its yield and quality. Mitophagy, a specialized form of autophagy that specifically targets dysfunctional mitochondria, is crucial for cellular ...
Research Article
Genomic origin of Citrus reticulata “Unshiu”
Shengjun Liu and others
Satsuma mandarin ( Citrus reticulata “Unshiu”) is a global cultivar with superior fruit characteristics and ranking among the top citrus cultivars in terms of production. It is also a key contributor to citrus breeding. However, the lack of high-quality genome makes the origin of Satsuma mandarin ...
Research Article
Scaffold protein RhCASPL1D1 stabilizes RhPIP2 aquaporins and promotes flower recovery after dehydration in rose (Rosa hybrida)
Kun Liu and others
Water deficit during flowering can lead to petal wilting, necrosis, and sterility, severely limiting crop fertilization and yield. Therefore, rapid recovery of floral organs after dehydration is essential for angiosperms to achieve their full reproductive potential. Aquaporins (AQPs) are ...
Research Article
Unlocking the molecular secrets of Paeonia plants: advances in key gene mining and molecular breeding technology
Daqiu Zhao and others
Paeonia plants are famous for their ornamental, medicinal and oil values. Due to the popularity of seed oil and cut flowers in the market, the mechanisms underlying related traits of Paeonia plants have been fascinating, and the research work on them has increased rapidly in recent years, urging a ...
Research Article
Phenotypic dynamics and temporal heritability of tomato architectural traits using an unmanned ground vehicle-based plant phenotyping system
Pengyao Xie and others
Large-scale manual measurements of plant architectural traits in tomato growth are laborious and subjective, hindering deeper understanding of temporal variations in gene expression heterogeneity. This study develops a high-throughput approach for characterizing tomato architectural traits at ...
Research Article
Optimization and application of genome prediction model in rapeseed: flowering time, yield components and oil content as examples
Wenkai Yu and others
Rapeseed is the second-largest oilseed crop in the world with short domestication and breeding history. This study developed a batch of genomic prediction models for flowering time, oil content and yield components in rapeseed. Using worldwide 404 breeding lines, the optimal prediction model for ...
