A working model of miR172a-ERF416/413 module in the regulation of soybean seed traits. miR172a most likely cleaves the ERF416 and ERF413 to promote KIX8-1 expression but inhibit SWEET10a expression for the reduction of seed size/weight.

Annotated map to illustrate the distributions of the genera and clades in Rutaceae subfamily Aurantioideae, which can be explained through vicariance (causing allopatry and speciation) and secondary range expansion by normal dispersal (causing overlap). Citrus originated in situ by vicariance with its allopatric sisters, and within Citrus, the five main clades are also largely allopatric. The origin of Citrus is usually traced to a point in southern China, but this point is more likely to represent a break zone in a widespread ancestor than an ancestral area.

#Rice bacterial blight poses a significant threat to rice #crops, but Sheng et al. reveal the role of arginine methyltransferase (OsPRMT5) in enhancing #resistance to blight #infection.

#PlantSci #agriculture #CropSci #JIPB

Diagram representing a cell under normal growth conditions and one under pathogen infection, each with annotated flow charts to illustrate how arginine methyltransferase (OsPRMT5) enhances rice resistance to bacterial blight by modulating salicylic acid and lignin contents through arginine methylation of the salicylic acid biosynthesis enzyme PHENYLALANINE AMMONIA LYASE 1 (OsPAL1). Also shown is the impact of an effector, secreted by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, which disrupts the OsPRMT5–OsPAL1 interaction, impairing OsPRMT5-mediated immune responses.

Diagram of a whole tomato plant, flanked by contrasting flow diagrams for low K+-sensitive tomato and low-K+ tolerant tomatoes, illustrating that, in tomato, jasmonate activates a SlJAZ2/3—SlMYC3-like transcription factor module that regulates inhibition of plant growth induced by potassium ion (K+) deficiency and K+ uptake by regulating genes encoding K+ transporters and ion channels. Plus, it's noted that SlMYC3-like promoted SlJAZ2/3 expression, forming a negative feedback circuit in jasmonate signaling, mediating K+ uptake.

In situ rice crop plant images, comparing mock, dsRNA(GFP), and dsRNA(RSV3) varieties at seedling and ripening stages. An RNA interference system using sprayable small RNA/double-stranded RNA with layered double hydroxides was developed to target Magnaporthe oryzae and rice stripe virus. This system enhanced RNA stability, suppressed fungal germination, and reduced viral replication, decreasing disease incidence, thus offering a scalable, eco-friendly solution for rice disease management.
