🌱 RESEARCH 🌱
An Intronic Structural Variant in GhEBS1 Drives Cotton Fruit Size Divergence by Modulating Chromatin Accessibility and Gene Expression - Wang et al.
♻️ Genomic resources and genetic improvement of vital tropical and subtropical fruit crops: current status and prospects by Anupama Roy and co-authors.
🌾🧬 A national US analysis finds GE crops boosted yields and stabilized production under climate stress, especially for corn and soybean.
Adoption also dampened climate-driven northward shifts in cultivation—evidence of adaptation value. #plantscience www.nature.com/articles/s41...
🌿🧬 CAM evolution reshapes more than its core pathway. In Yucca, weak mRNA-protein correlation points to post-transcriptional control, with shifts extending into nitrogen metabolism.
Cascading effects across primary metabolism. #plantscience @jxbotany.bsky.social academic.oup.com/jxb/article/...
🌸🧬 RESEARCH 🧬🌸
Arabidopsis flowers accumulate the sulfur by-product methylthioadenosine when methionine salvage is reduced, lowering methylation capacity and impairing fertility. Short-term spermidine treatment partly restores growth- Tremblay et al.

New Cell Host & Microbe study! Boosting MIPS expression helps wheat & maize resist Fusarium by trapping its DON toxin in vacuoles—up to 88% less DON in grain in field trials. @xiujuanyang.bsky.social #plantscience @wheatinitiative.bsky.social @asps-oz.bsky.social

Under low-sulfur conditions in both upland and lowland rice, EIL4-mediated gene regulation plays a key role, with SULTR1;1 contributing to increased root elongation - Maruyama et al.
How is cell wall metabolism changing in response to nitrate for plant cell growth? 🌱
These cute pinky plates measuring PME activity will give us some clues about our current hypothesis!
