ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase catalyzes the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate and ATP to ADP-glucose and pyrophosphate, a key regulated step in both bacterial glycogen and plant starch biosynthesis. Crystals of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens (420 amino acids, 47 kDa) have been obtained by the sitting-drop vapor-diffusion method using lithium sulfate as a precipitant. A complete native X-ray diffraction data set was collected to a resolution of 2.0 A from a single crystal at 100 K. The crystals belong to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a = 92.03, b = 141.251, c = 423.64 A. To solve the phase problem, a complete anomalous data set was collected from a selenomethionyl derivative. These crystals display one-fifth of the unit-cell volume of the wild-type crystals, with unit-cell parameters a = 85.38, b = 93.79, c = 140.29 A and space group I222.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a type of head-to-tail closed RNA molecules, have been implicated in various aspects of plant development and stress responses through transcriptome sequencing; however, the precise functional roles of circRNAs in plants remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified a highly expressed circular RNA, circZmMED16, derived from exon 8 of the mediator complex subunit 16 (ZmMED16) across different maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines using circRNA-seq analysis.

We investigated the effects of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) on grain filling, starch accumulation, and endogenous hormones in maize (both the heat-tolerant maize variety Zhengdan 958 (ZD958) and the heat-sensitive variety Xianyu 335 (XY335)) under early post-anthesis high temperature stress by simulating high temperature stress for a period of 6 to 12 days post-anthesis in 2022 and 2023. There were three treatments: spraying water at ambient temperature as the control, spraying water at high temperature, and spraying ABA at high temperature. The results showed that early post-anthesis high temperature stress resulted in a significant reduction in grain weight and yield in maize, with XY335 showing a greater reduction than ZD958.

High-temperature (HT) stress frequently affects the early and middle stages of grain filling in hybrid seed production regions. Photo-thermo-sensitive male-sterile (PTMS) wheat lines, which play a critical role as female parents in hybrid seed production, face challenges under HT conditions. However, the mechanisms governing grain filling in PTMS lines under HT stress remain poorly understood.

The absorption of the essential element nitrogen by plants affects various aspects of plant physiological activity, including gene expression, metabolite content and growth. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the potato tuberization response to nitrogen remains unclear. Potato plants were subjected to pot experiments under nitrogen deficiency, normal nitrogen levels and nitrogen sufficiency.
