Metabolic pathway genes for editing to enhance multiple disease resistance in plants

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Involvement of Mitophagy and Peroxisome in the Resistance to QoIs in Corynespora cassiicola

“…Metabolism-related genes are widely involved in cellular energy metabolism, substance synthesis, catabolism, and transport, which can affect the cell's ability to adapt to the external environment. It has been demonstrated that polysaccharide metabolites, lipid metabolites, and certain functional genes, such as the R gene, can enhance cellular resistance and can reduce fitness costs caused by resistance such as by decreased spore production and reduced spore germination [101][102][103]. In our study, we found that metabolism-related genes were enriched that focused on sugar metabolism, lipid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism, and several special genes were found, such as LCB1/2 and FRC1, verifying that cellular autophagy and related metabolism occur [104,105].…”

New Year’s greetings 2023 from the Journal of Plant Research

“…In addition to regular papers, last year we published six “Current Topics in Plant Research”, as review papers; “Arabidopsis ASYMMETRIC LEAVES2 (AS2) : roles in plant morphogenesis, cell division, and pathogenesis” (Machida et al 2022 ), “Reconsidering the function of the xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase family” (Ishida and Yokoyama 2022 ), “Gynoecium structure in Sapindales and a case study of Trichilia pallens (Meliaceae)” (El Ottra et al 2022 ), “Decades-long phylogeographic issues: complex historical processes and ecological factors on genetic structure of alpine plants in the Japanese Archipelago” (Ikeda 2022 ), “RAB GTPases and SNAREs at the trans-Golgi network in plants” (Ito and Uemura 2022 ), and “Metabolic pathway genes for editing to enhance multiple disease resistance in plants” (Kushalappa et al 2022 ). These colorful titles show the wide aspects of JPR in basic plant science.…”
