Mitochondrial Fostering: The Mitochondrial Genome May Play a Role in Plant Orphan Gene Evolution.
Seth O’Conner,Ling Li +1 more
TL;DR: A “Mitochondrial Fostering” theory where the organelle genome plays an integral role in the arrival and development of orphan genes (genes with no homologs in other lineages) is proposed, which suggests the mitochondrial genome may play a role in nuclear orphan gene evolution in land plants.

TL;DR: It is reported that QQS interactor nuclear factor Y subunit C4 (NF-YC4) affects carbon and nitrogen allocation to protein in soybean and maize and is used as a tool to increase the protein content in crops and to study the nitrogen allocation network.

TL;DR: The tiniest known angiosperm, Wolffia australiana, is used to overcome the challenge of describing core principles of plant morphogenesis, dissect the underlying mechanisms, and identify regulators and is used as a model system for deciphering core developmental program in angiosperms.
GmNF-YC4-2 Increases Protein, Exhibits Broad Disease Resistance and Expedites Maturity in Soybean.
Seth O’Conner,Wenguang Zheng,Mingsheng Qi,Yuba R. Kandel,Robert Fuller,Steven A. Whitham,Ling Li +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of overexpression of a particular NF-Y isoform GmNF-YC4-2 (Glyma.04g196200) in soybean cultivar Williams 82, had a lower amount of starch in its leaves, a higher amount of protein in its seeds, and increased broad disease resistance for bacterial, viral, and fungal infections in the field.
