Plants produce phylogenetically and spatially restricted, as well structurally diverse specialized metabolites via multistep metabolic pathways. Hallmarks of evolution include enzymatic promiscuity recruitment primary enzymes examples genomic clustering pathway genes. Solanaceae glandular trichomes defensive acylsugars, with sidechains that vary in length across the family. We describe a tomato gene cluster on chromosome 7 involved medium chain acylsugar accumulation due to trichome specific...
Global flooding events are becoming more frequent due to climate change. Depending on the intensity, can cause below-ground plant tissues become waterlogged and above-ground partially or fully submerged, leading hypoxic environments. These conditions damage tissue, chlorosis senescence, typically halting growth development, resulting in significant yield loss. Many economically important Brassicaceae crops susceptible stress, such as Brassica napus (canola), oleracea (broccoli, cabbage,...
Many winter annual crops, such as pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.), are subjected to heavy precipitation events during their growing season. Therefore, it is essential identify accessions with natural variation in flooding resilience. We used climate modeling data assess spring soil moisture levels the geographic origins of 471 accessions. selected 34 predicted and tested survivability under prolonged waterlogging at rosette stage. It took seven weeks for first die, indicating that hardy...
Lesion mimic mutants provide unique tools to investigate plant–pathogen interactions, often exhibiting hypersensitive responses in the absence of biotic or abiotic stresses. The overexpression S-domain receptor-like kinase gene, SPL11 cell-death suppressor 2 (SDS2), rice leads constitutive programmed cell death and enhanced resistance fungal bacterial pathogens. However, mechanisms underlying this broad-spectrum remain unclear. This study integrates transcriptomic metabolomic analyses...
Pennycress ( Thlaspi arvense ) is a promising intermediate oilseed crop, producing oil suitable for conversion to biofuels—including aviation fuels. While domestication efforts are ongoing, deeper understanding of the genetic architecture traits crucial informing future breeding efforts. Here, we conducted largest genomic and phenotypic survey pennycress date, analyzing 739 accessions collected across four continents. Leveraging whole-genome sequencing field-collected phenotypes,...
Abstract Soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a photoperiod‐sensitive legume native to Asia and major global commodity crop. Adapting flowering time match production environments can help maximize yield potential by extending the reproductive phase while optimizing vegetative length. One gene, E1 , its two homologues, E1‐like‐A ( E1LA ) E1‐like‐B E1LB ), have functionally characterized alleles, but use in breeding programs limited mainly e1‐as for earlier northern latitudes (>36° N). Two...
Soybean is an economically important crop which flowers predominantly in response to photoperiod. Several major loci controlling the quantitative trait for reproductive timing have been identified, of allelic combinations at three these loci, E1, E2, and E3, are dominant factors driving time flower period. However, functional genomics studies identified additional affect timing, many less understood. A better characterization genes will enable fine-tuning adaptation various production...
Abstract Field pennycress ( Thlaspi arvense ) is a new biofuel winter annual crop with extreme cold hardiness and short life cycle, enabling off-season integration into corn soybean rotations across the Midwest. Pennycress fields are susceptible to snow melt spring rainfall, leading waterlogged soils. The objective of this research was determine if waterlogging during reproductive stage had significant effect on gene expression, morphology, physiology, recovery, yield two lines (SP32-10...
Abstract Fluctuations in flooding and differences hydrological gradients affect the geographic distribution of plant species across ecosystems, resulting presence adaptive traits populations that confer enhanced fitness flooded environments. Many winter annual crops, such as pennycress ( Thlaspi arvense L.), are subjected to heavy precipitation events during their growing season, which increasing frequency due climate change. Therefore, it is essential identify accessions with natural...
