The nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins comprise a major class of
intracellular immune receptors that are capable of detecting pathogen-derived molecules …

RNA silencing is an essential gene-regulation mechanism in eukaryotic organisms. Guided
by small RNAs (sRNAs) of 20–25 nt in length, RNA silencing broadly governs a wide range …

Plants can regenerate new organs from damaged or detached tissues. In the process of de
novo root regeneration (DNRR), adventitious roots are frequently formed from the wound …

Key message A novel light intensity-dependent lesion mimic mutant with enhanced disease
resistance was physiologically, biochemically, and genetically characterized, and the …

Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a devastating disease that threatens pine forests worldwide, and
breeding resistant pines is an important management strategy used to reduce its impact. A …

Plants are autotrophic organisms that self-produce sugars through photosynthesis. These
sugars serve as an energy source, carbon skeletons, and signaling entities throughout …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a key role in regulating gene expression and their biogenesis is
precisely controlled through modulating the activity of microprocessor. Here, we report that …

SUMMARY RCF1 is a highly conserved DEAD‐box RNA helicase found in yeast, plants,
and mammals. Studies about the functions of RCF1 in plants are limited. Here, we …

Key message This review presents the multiple ways how topless and topless-related
proteins regulate defense activation in plants and help in optimizing the defense-growth …

Securing agricultural supplies for the increasing population without negative impacts on
environment demands new crop varieties with higher yields, better quality, and stronger …
