This review provides a high-resolution synthesis of the BX landscape, critically contrasting the canonical maize model with the emerging, yet distinct, metabolic signatures observed in rice and establishing a robust theoretical framework for the genetic fortification of crops.
ABSTRACT Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe oryzae threatens global rice production, and wheat blast emergence highlights the pathogen’s capacity for host shifts. Although numerous studies have described M. oryzae genome organization and infection mechanisms, critical questions remain regarding the evolutionary drivers o...

The evolutionary expansion of specialized metabolism has shaped the ability of plants to adapt to combined pest, disease, and environmental pressures. In maize (Zea mays), the duplication and divergence of ancestral gibberellin pathway genes have given rise to specialized kauralexin and dolabralexin diterpenoids that s...

Plants rely on an ancient genetic "toolkit" to establish arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis (AMS) with fungal partners. However, the symbiotic outcomes vary among AMS hosts, indicating divergence in downstream transcriptional reprogramming after the perception of symbiotic signals. To uncover the cross-species variation...

Originally identified as root-derived exudates that trigger the germination of parasitic weed seeds, strigolactones (SLs) were later discovered to be crucial facilitators of plant symbiotic associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and then found to be a bona fide plant hormone class in 2008. Thereafter, SLs have...

Fungal phytohormones regulate development, growth, and metabolism, thereby playing key functions in their ecological context and concluding that fungi have an intrinsic and autonomous hormonal physiology that underpins their ecological adaptability and success.

It is concluded that uniformly increasing or eliminating cucurbitacins is unlikely to provide broadly effective crop resistance because either direction may favor a different herbivore group.
