Plant viruses are a group of intracellular pathogens that persistently threaten global food
security. Significant advances in plant virology have been achieved by Chinese scientists …

Plants intricately regulate the expression of protein-coding genes at multiple stages–
including mRNA transcription, translation, decay, and protein degradation–to control growth …

Plants employ distinct mechanisms to respond to environmental changes. Modification of
mRNA by N 6-methyladenosine (m6A), known to affect the fate of mRNA, may be one such …

Heterosis is extensively used in the 2-line hybrid breeding system. Photosensitive/
thermosensitive genic male sterile (P/TGMS) lines are key components of 2-line hybrid rice …

Engineering disease-resistant plants can be a powerful solution to the issue of food security.
However, it requires addressing two fundamental questions: what genes to express and how …

Abstract A 5′-leader, known initially as the 5′-untranslated region, contains multiple
isoforms due to alternative splicing (aS) and alternative transcription start site (aTSS) …

Aging is characterized by a decline in various biological functions that is associated with
changes in gene expression programs. Recent transcriptome-wide integrative studies in …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a crucial phytohormone that regulates plant growth and stress
responses. While substantial knowledge exists about transcriptional regulation, the …

Abstract Mitogen-activated protein Kinase Kinase 5 (MKK5) is a central hub in the complex
phosphorylation chain reaction of the Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) cascade …

The RING-type E3 ligase OsBBI1 regulates rice resistance against Magnaporthe oryzae
through modifying cell wall defenses. In this study, we report the function of an OsBBI1 …
