The Nucleoporin CPR5 Modulates Plant Immunity via Guanylate-Binding Proteins.

The nuclear pore complex plays a key role in nuclear transport of immune signals. Two nucleoporins, CONSTITUTIVE EXPRESSION OF PR GENES 5 (CPR5) and GUANYLATE-BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE 3 (GBPL3), have been implicated in plant immunity. The Arabidopsis GBPL family comprises three members.

Delivery of Marker-Free DNA to Plant Genome by the Transgenic Selection-Associated Fragment Elimination (T-SAFE) System.

The presence of a selection marker in transgenic plants has raised public concerns regarding health safety. We have developed a CRISPR/Cas9-based DNA delivery system termed transgenic selection-associated fragment elimination (T-SAFE). The T-SAFE system comprises four cassettes: the selection marker, CRISPR/Cas9, spacer-plus-protospacer adjacent motif (SP), and the cargo.

Identification and Application of the Heptad Repeat Domain in the CPR5 Protein for Enhancing Plant Immunity.

Plant resistance to pathogens can be significantly enhanced through genetic modification, thereby reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides. CONSTITUTIVE EXPRESSER OF PATHOGENESIS-RELATED GENES 5 (CPR5) serves as a key negative regulator of plant immunity. Here we explored the functional domains of the CPR5 protein with the goal of dampening its activity to bolster plant immunity.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of Kinesin Family in Barley ().

Kinesin, as a member of the molecular motor protein superfamily, plays an essential function in various plants' developmental processes. Especially at the early stages of plant growth, including influences on plants' growth rate, yield, and quality. In this study, we did a genome-wide identification and expression profile analysis of the kinesin family in barley.

Systematic identification and expression profiles of the BAHD superfamily acyltransferases in barley (Hordeum vulgare).

BAHD superfamily acyltransferases play an important role in catalyzing and regulating secondary metabolism in plants. Despite this, there is relatively little information regarding the BAHD superfamily in barley. In this study, we identified 116 HvBAHD acyltransferases from the barley genome.
