In wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), breeding efforts have focused intensively on improving grain yield and quality. For quality, the content composition of seed storage proteins (SSPs) determine elasticity dough flour processing Moreover, starch levels in seeds are associated with yield. However, little is known about mechanisms that coordinate SSP accumulation wheat. this study, we explored role endosperm-specific NAC transcription factor TaNAC019 coordinating accumulation. binds to promoters...

Abstract Fusarium head blight (FHB), mainly caused by graminearum , is one of the most devastating diseases in wheat and barley worldwide. In addition to causing severe yield losses, F. produces deoxynivalenol (DON), a trichothecene mycotoxin which harmful human health serves as an important virulence factor. Currently, changes global climate tillage systems have made FHB epidemics more frequent severe. During past decade, considerable efforts been deployed reveal pathogenic mechanisms...

In vivo CRISPR gene editing holds enormous potential for various diseases. Ideally, delivery should be cell type-specific and time-restricted optimal efficacy safety, but customizable methods are lacking. Here we develop a cell-tropism programmable CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein system (RIDE) based on virus-like particles. The efficiency of RIDE was comparable to that adeno-associated virus lentiviral vectors higher than lipid nanoparticles. could readily reprogrammed target dendritic cells,...

Abstract Grain weight and size are major traits targeted in breeding to improve wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield. Here, we find that the histone acetyltransferase GENERAL CONTROL NONDEREPRESSIBLE 5 (GCN5) physically interacts with calmodulin-binding transcription factor CAMTA2 regulates grain weight. gcn5 mutant grains were smaller contained less starch. GCN5 promoted expression of starch biosynthesis genes SUCROSE SYNTHASE 2 (Sus2) STARCH-BRANCHING ENZYME Ic (SBEIc) by regulating H3K9ac...
