Phospho‐Proteomics Identifies D‐Group MAP Kinases as Substrates of the Arabidopsis Tyrosine Phosphatase RLPH2
ABSTRACT Despite being one of the few bona fide plant tyrosine phosphatases, the Arabidopsis thaliana Rhizobiales‐like phosphatase 2 (RLPH2) has no known substrates. Utilizing phospho‐proteomics, we identified the activation loop phospho‐tyrosine of several A. thaliana D‐group mitogen‐activated…

Membranous Interacting Partners of Phage‐Type Plastid RNA Polymerase Have Limited Impact on Plastid Gene Expression During Chloroplast Development
ABSTRACT In vascular plants, genes in the plastid genome are transcribed by two types of RNA polymerases, namely, phage‐type nuclear‐encoded and bacterial‐type plastid‐encoded plastid RNA polymerases (NEP and PEP, respectively). Eudicots, including Arabidopsis, carry two isoforms of NEP, RPOTp and…

The Arabidopsis Mutant of the Small Intrinsically Disordered Protein DSS1(V) Exhibits Increased Sensitivity to Drought Stress
ABSTRACT Drought has emerged as one of the most severe and widespread environmental stresses affecting plants. Crops exposed to varying levels of drought, ranging from moderate to severe, often experience notable declines in yield or reduced harvest quality. Investigating the molecular mechanisms…

Functional Interaction Between Toc75 POTRA1 Domain and Tic22‐III in the Intermembrane Space During Chloroplast Protein Import
ABSTRACT Chaperones are essential for facilitating the import of nuclear‐encoded precursor proteins into chloroplasts. In the intermembrane space (IMS) of the chloroplasts, this process is mediated by the transport‐associated domains (POTRA) of the translocon at the outer envelope membrane (Toc75)…

Genome‐Wide Analysis of the lncRNAs and miRNAs Involved in Flower Development in Radish
ABSTRACT Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is an important root vegetable in the cruciferous family. The yield and quality of radish is seriously affected by the premature bolting and flowering. Although the microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating flower development have been established in radish, the…

Transcriptomic and Metabolic Insight Into Flavonoid Biosynthesis Underlying Black and Yellow Seed Coat Color Variation in Soybean (Glycine max)
ABSTRACT Soybean (Glycine max) seed coat color variation is determined by the accumulation of flavonoid‐derived pigments, although the molecular mechanisms underlying this trait remain poorly understood. This study integrated RNA sequencing (RNA‐Seq) and high‐performance liquid chromatography…

Targeting dCas9‐SunTag to a Susceptibility Gene Promoter Is Sufficient for CRISPR Interference
ABSTRACT Cassava production in sub‐Saharan Africa is severely impacted by diseases. Most pathogens require interaction with host susceptibility factors to complete their life cycles and cause disease. Targeted DNA methylation is an epigenetic strategy to alter gene expression in plants, and we…

Precise Evaluation of Transpiration Patterns in Relation to Grain Yield Under Drought Stress in Faba Bean
ABSTRACT Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is a key crop for sustainable agriculture in temperate cropping systems due to its nitrogen‐fixing ability and high protein content, but its productivity is increasingly threatened by drought stress driven by climate change. Precise phenotyping under…

Mutations in Components of the TREX‐2 Complex Result in Misexpression of the Kelch‐Domain F‐Box Protein KFB39 Promoter in Arabidopsis thaliana
ABSTRACT Arabidopsis thaliana gene At2g44130 encodes a Kelch‐like domain F‐box protein designated KFB39 and was previously shown to be specifically expressed on exposure to the oxylipin cis‐jasmone. In order to better understand the regulation of At2g44130, a forward genetic screen was carried out…

Combined Analysis of Transcriptome and Metabolome Explains the Differences in Pulp Color in Jackfruit
ABSTRACT The pulp color of jackfruit reflects variations in its nutritional composition and influences market preference. We investigated the mechanism underlying pulp coloration through an integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis of three jackfruit cultivars—light yellow “THA”, yellow…

Turnip Mosaic Virus‐Based gRNA Delivery System for Plant Genome Editing
ABSTRACT Plant virus‐based gRNA delivery systems offer a rapid alternative to stable transformation for CRISPR‐mediated genome editing, but potyvirus‐based platforms in Cas9‐expressing plants are still underexplored. Here, we developed a turnip mosaic virus (TuMV)‐based system for gRNA delivery in…

Zea mays Drought‐Overly Sensitive1/TUBA4 Is Wilty3, and Transcriptome Co‐Expression Analysis of Shoot Meristem Mutant Tissues Reveals Wilty2/TUB6:Wi3 Interactions Associated With Stem Vascular Bundle Development
ABSTRACT Plant vasculature is essential for the transport of water, nutrients, and signaling molecules across organs, while also providing critical mechanical support for growth and development. Disruptions in vascular bundle formation can therefore lead to severe physiological and developmental…
