A broad-host-range Rhizobium rhizogenes strain enables transient expression across diverse crop species

Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression has revolutionised plant research, enabling numerous landmark discoveries across diverse areas of plant biology. Yet this powerful approach remains largely confined to solanaceous species, leaving most economically important crop families without a comparable rapid assay plat...

A conserved small RNA-generating gene cluster undergoes sequence diversification and contributes to plant immunity

Small RNA-mediated gene silencing contributes to plant immunity. The secondary small interfering RNA (siRNA) pathway promotes defense by silencing target genes in invading fungal and oomycete pathogens. Many secondary siRNAs derive from transcripts potentially encoding pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins. Here, we...

A conserved small RNA-generating gene cluster undergoes sequence diversification and contributes to plant immunity

It is reported that siRNA production is an ancient function of a conserved clade of a conserved clade of PPR genes that undergo extensive within-species diversification and accumulation of high-impact variations including pseudogenization, leading to the accumulation of a diverse siRNA pool.
