Plant nutrient uptake and metabolism

Soybean PHR1-regulated low phosphorus-responsive GmRALF22 increases uptake of phosphate via stimulating GmPTs expression

This study identifies GmRALF22 as a low phosphorus-responsive gene regulated by GmPHR1, which enhances phosphate uptake by upregulating phosphate transporter genes in soybean.

A sucrose non-fermenting-1-related protein kinase 1 gene from wheat, TaSnRK1α regulates starch biosynthesis by modulating AGPase activity

This study identifies TaSnRK1, a wheat kinase that regulates starch biosynthesis by modulating AGPase activity through direct interaction with the AGPase large subunit.

Genetic variation in BnGRP1 contributes to low phosphorus tolerance in Brassica napus

This study identifies BnGRP1 genetic variation associated with low phosphorus tolerance in rapeseed, showing its role in root growth and phosphate transporter gene expression.

A G protein coupled receptor like protein systematically modulates nutrient-growth by Ca2+ mediated phosphatidylcholine perception during evolutionary adaptation

The paper identifies TaPCGR1-3B as a receptor modulating nutrient-growth through Ca2+ signaling and phosphatidylcholine perception in response to nitrogen deficiency.

RNA-Seq analysis and transcriptome assembly of Salicornia neei reveals powerful system for ammonium detoxification

This study analyzes the transcriptome of Salicornia neei under ammonium stress to identify genes involved in ammonium detoxification and reveals a system mediated by glutamine and glutamate synthases.

Genome-wide identification and analyses of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) high-affinity nitrate transporter 2 (NRT2) family genes and their responses to drought and salinity

This study identifies four novel NRT2 genes in tomato and analyzes their expression and functional roles under drought and salinity stress.

Physiological and genetic analysis of tomato from two cultivars differing in potassium deficiency resistance

This study compares two tomato cultivars with differing potassium deficiency resistance, identifying genetic and physiological differences associated with low-K+ tolerance.

Calm on the surface, dynamic on the inside. Molecular homeostasis in response to regulatory and metabolic perturbation of Anabaena sp. 7120 nitrogen metabolism

The paper investigates how the absence of AMT transporters affects nitrogen and carbon metabolism in Anabaena sp. 7120, revealing internal molecular adaptations with minimal external phenotypes.

Water and phosphorus uptake by upland rice root systems unraveled under multiple scenarios: linking a 3D soil-root model and data

The paper integrates a 3D soil-root model with experimental data to study water and phosphorus uptake in upland rice under varying nutrient and water conditions.

BTB-TAZ domain protein MdBT2 modulates malate accumulation by targeting a bHLH transcription factor for degradation in response to nitrate

The paper identifies MdBT2 as a regulator of malate accumulation in apple by ubiquitinating and degrading MdCIbHLH1 in response to nitrate.

Genome-wide survey and expression analysis of the SLAC/SLAH gene family in pear (Pyrus bretschneideri) and other members of the Rosaceae

The paper identifies and analyzes the SLAC/SLAH gene family in pear and four Rosaceae species, classifying them into three groups and showing tissue-specific expression patterns.
