SiCST1, a novel plant-specific protein of foxtail millet, confers cold stress tolerance in plants by Fan Yang, Jiaqi Qiao, Xiao Zhang, Zhuoya Zhang, Dongao Huo, Dongao Huo

“…We propose a regulatory mechanism in which SiCST1 interacted with SiOFP1 to release its inhibition of BR signaling transcription complex, thereby activating BR signaling pathways and conferring cold stress tolerance. Our study provides evidence that SiCST1 is a novel plant-specific protein with an essential function involved in cold stress resistance in foxtail millet.…”

Disruption of HaVipR1 confers Vip3Aa resistance in the moth crop pest Helicoverpa armigera. by Andreas Bachler, Amanda Padovan, Craig J Anderson, Yiyun Wei, Yidong Wu, Stephen Pearce, Sharon Downes, Bill James, Ashley E Tessnow, Gregory A Sword, Michelle Williams, Wee Tek Tay, Karl H J Gordon, Tom K Walsh

“…We identified a previously uncharacterized gene, LOC110373801 (designated HaVipR1), as potentially important in Vip3Aa resistance in two field-derived resistant lines. Functional validation using CRISPR/Cas9 knockout in susceptible lines confirmed the gene's role in conferring high-level resistance to Vip3Aa. …”
