Signaling by a tyrosine-sulfated peptide balances growth and osmotic stress response in rice

Overexpressing rice peptide OsPSY8 lengthens roots but lowers osmotic stress survival, while knockout raises it; OsWRKY24 represses the OsPSY8 promoter and is induced by PEG.

Stable Inheritance of Transgene and Yellow Fluorescent Protein Gene Expression in Progeny of Transgenic Cacao (Theobroma cacao) Plants

The paper demonstrates stable transgene and YFP expression inheritance in cacao progeny using transgenic plants as pollen or ovule donors.

Gene editing of the E3 ligase PIRE1 fine-tunes ROS production for enhanced bacterial disease resistance in tomato

This study shows that editing the PIRE gene in tomato enhances ROS production and resistance to foliar pathogens but not soilborne pathogens.

Pathogen-inducible expression of autoactive NLRs confers multi-pathogen resistance in tomato

This study develops a synthetic strategy using pathogen-inducible promoters paired with autoactive NLRs to confer multi-pathogen resistance in tomato without growth impairment.

Chromosome-level Genome Assembly of a Regenerable Maize Inbred Line A188

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly of maize inbred line A188 and identifies structural variations and gene expression differences compared to the reference line B73.
