Pan-mitogenome and structural variation in grapevine populations (A) The circular representation of grapevine pan-mitogenome. The conserved gene structure was annotated for: (i) the forward strand, and (ii) the reverse strand; and the (iii) mitochondrial pan-genome is indicated with a schematic drawing. (B) Phylogenetic tree (left panel) and gene content (right panel) of 33 Vitis accessions.

In this #OpenAccess research article, Hou et al. explore the potential role of cytoplasmic #genomes in #grape #domestication, offering new insights into grape #evolution and #crop improvement.

The interplay of abiotic and biotic factors likely drove one of the fastest plant radiations from tropical–subtropical Asia Abiotic factors (such as paleotemperature and the East Asian monsoon) and biotic factors (such as interspecific competition and pollination mutualism) may have acted independently and synergistically ...

It's fair to assume that both #biotic and abiotic factors drive #species #diversification, but demonstrating their synergistic effects in a single framework is challenging and rarely studied...until now!

Yin/yang-styled diagram, illustrating that antagonistic crosstalk between the microspore-derived CLE19 peptide and brassinosteroid signaling preserves pollen developmental homeostasis in Arabidopsis. CLE19 activates a protein phosphatase—kinase cascade to phosphorylate the transcription factor BES1, triggering its inactivation and suppressing brassinosteroid signaling outputs, thereby fine-tuning male fertility under fluctuating conditions.

In this #OpenAccess research article, Wang et al. report that CLE19 suppresses brassinosteroid signaling output via the BSL-BIN2 module to maintain BES1 activity and #pollen exine patterning in #Arabidopsis.

Annotated flow diagram across extracellular and intracellular space to illustrate how the salt-activated receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase MdPBL34 phosphorylates the 14-3-3 protein MdGRF10 to stabilize the melatonin synthase MdASMT1, promoting melatonin synthesis to scavenge excessive reactive oxygen species in apple under salt stress.
