Knockout of miR396 genes increases seed size and yield in soybean
J Integr Plant Biol. 2024 Apr 10. doi: 10.1111/jipb.13660. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTYield improvement has long been an important task for soybean breeding in the world in order to meet the increasing demand for food and animal feed. miR396 genes have been shown to negatively regulate grain size in rice, but whether miR396 family members may function in a similar manner in soybean is unknown. Here, we generated eight soybean mutants harboring different combinations of homozygous mutations in the six soybean miR396 genes through genome editing with clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-asso...

Small particles, big effects: How nanoparticles can enhance plant growth in favorable and harsh conditions
J Integr Plant Biol. 2024 Apr 5. doi: 10.1111/jipb.13652. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBy 2050, the global population is projected to reach 9 billion, underscoring the imperative for innovative solutions to increase grain yield and enhance food security. Nanotechnology has emerged as a powerful tool, providing unique solutions to this challenge. Nanoparticles (NPs) can improve plant growth and nutrition under normal conditions through their high surface-to-volume ratio and unique physical and chemical properties. Moreover, they can be used to monitor crop health status and augment plant resilience against abiotic stresses...

Population genomics highlights structural variations in local adaptation to saline coastal environments in woolly grape
In this study, we employed woolly grape (Vitis retordii), a species native to the tropical and subtropical regions of East Asia with both coastal and inland habitats, as a valuable model for examining the impact of SVs on local adaptation. We assembled a haplotype-resolved chromosomal reference genome for woolly grape, and conducted population genetic analyses based on whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from coastal and inland populations. The demographic analyses revealed recent bottlenecks in all populations and asymmetric gene flow from the inland to the coastal population. In total, 1,035 genes associated with plant ad...

The miR159a-DUO1 module regulates pollen development by modulating auxin biosynthesis and starch metabolism in citrus
J Integr Plant Biol. 2024 Apr 5. doi: 10.1111/jipb.13656. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAchieving seedlessness in citrus varieties is one of the important objectives of citrus breeding. Male sterility associated with abnormal pollen development is an important factor in seedlessness. However, our understanding of the regulatory mechanism underlying the seedlessness phenotype in citrus is still limited. Here, we determined that the miR159a-DUO1 module played an important role in regulating pollen development in citrus, which further indirectly modulated seed development and fruit size. Both the overexpression of csi-miR159a...

CsRAXs negatively regulate leaf size and fruiting ability through auxin glycosylation in cucumber
J Integr Plant Biol. 2024 Apr 5. doi: 10.1111/jipb.13655. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLeaves are the main photosynthesis organ that directly determines crop yield and biomass. Dissecting the regulatory mechanism of leaf development is crucial for food security and ecosystem turn-over. Here, we identified the novel function of R2R3-MYB transcription factors CsRAXs in regulating cucumber leaf size and fruiting ability. Csrax5 single mutant exhibited enlarged leaf size and stem diameter, and Csrax1/2/5 triple mutant displayed further enlargement phenotype. Overexpression of CsRAX1 or CsRAX5 gave rise to smaller leaf and thi...
