Leaf Color Mysteries Unveiled: The Role of BoYgl-2 in Cabbage
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A new study has uncovered a novel P-type PPR protein, BoYgl-2, which plays a crucial role in chloroplast RNA editing and chlorophyll biosynthesis in cabbage. This discovery sheds new light on the molecular mechanisms governing leaf color formation and chloroplast development, filling a significant knowledge gap in plant physiology. By identifying a spontaneous yellow-green leaf mutant and deciphering the function of BoYgl-2, the research paves the way for innovative crop breeding strategies that could enhance plant productivity and agricultural sustainability.

Unlocking the Lemon's Flavor Secret: Epigenetics of Citric Acid
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Lemons owe their signature tang to citric acid, yet the molecular mechanisms governing its accumulation have long remained a mystery. Now, a pioneering study has shed light on the epigenetic regulation behind this process, revealing how DNA methylation influences citric acid biosynthesis. By mapping the genome and DNA methylome of the 'Xiangshui' lemon variety, researchers have uncovered dynamic methylation changes that shape fruit flavor—findings that could revolutionize lemon breeding for enhanced taste and market value.
