Trehalose (Tre) is a non-reducing disaccharide found in many species, including bacteria,
fungi, invertebrates, yeast, and even plants, where it acts as an osmoprotectant, energy …

Plants display an amazing ability to synthesize a vast array of secondary metabolites that
are an inexhaustible source of phytochemicals, bioactive molecules some of which impact …

Gibberellic acid-stimulated Arabidopsis (GASA) proteins, as cysteine-rich peptides (CRPs),
play roles in development and reproduction and biotic and abiotic stresses. Although the …

Ralstonia solanacearum causes bacterial wilt disease, leading to severe crop losses. Xylem
sap from R. solanacearum-infected tomato is enriched in the disaccharide trehalose. Water …

In plants, the trehalose biosynthetic pathway plays key roles in the regulation of carbon
allocation and stress adaptation. Engineering of the pathway holds great promise to …

Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam) is an economically important, nutrient-and pigment-
rich root vegetable used as both food and feed. Root-knot nematode (RKN), Meloidogyne …

Background Transcription bridges genetic information and phenotypes. Here, we evaluated
how changes in transcriptional regulation enable maize (Zea mays), a crop originally …

The Ethylene-Responsive Factors (ERFs) comprise a large family of transcriptional factors
