As an essential nutrient element, phosphorus (P) is primarily acquired and translocated as
inorganic phosphate (Pi) by plant roots. Pi is often sequestered in the soil and becomes …

Many plants associate with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi for nutrient acquisition, while
legumes also associate with nitrogen-fixing rhizobial bacteria. Both associations rely on …

Improving phosphorus (P) crop nutrition has emerged as a key factor toward achieving a
more resilient and sustainable agriculture. P is an essential nutrient for plant development …

Wheat is a staple crop, frequently cultivated in water-restricted environments. Improving crop
water-use efficiency would be desirable if grain yield can be maintained. We investigated …

The biotrophic fungal pathogen Blumeria graminis causes the powdery mildew disease of
cereals and grasses. We present the first crystal structure of a B. graminis effector of …

Background The use of CRISPR/Cas9 systems could prove to be a valuable tool in crop
research, providing the ability to fully knockout gene function in complex genomes or to …

Background Wheat grains contain gluten proteins, which harbour immunogenic epitopes
that trigger Coeliac disease in 1–2% of the human population. Wheat varieties or accessions …

Taxonomically‐restricted orphan genes play an important role in environmental adaptation,
as recently demonstrated by the fact that the Pooideae‐specific orphan Ta FROG (Triticum …

The application of CRISPR/Cas9 technologies has transformed our ability to target and edit
designated regions of a genome. It's broad adaptability to any organism has led to countless …

Abstract PHOSPHORUS‐STARVATION TOLERANCE 1 (OsPSTOL1) is a variably present
gene that benefits crown root growth and phosphorus (P) sufficiency in rice (Oryza sativa) …
