Light induces Phytochrome B SUMOylation to recruit the immune regulator NPR1 in nuclear condensates to control immunity in plants

Srayan Ghosh, Shraboni Ghosh, Mansi Mansi…·Ari Sadanandom

The paper shows light-induced SUMOylation of Phytochrome B recruits NPR1 to nuclear condensates, elevating SA levels to control plant immunity, with SA also maintaining this process in darkness.

Ubiquitin-like SUMO protease expansion in rice (Oryza sativa)

Kawinnat Sue-Ob, Eshan Sharma, Cunjin Zhang…·Andrew R. Jones

The paper identifies an expansion of SUMO protease genes in cultivated rice, suggesting selective breeding pressure may drive this expansion and its potential role in stress responses.

Targeted mutagenesis of the SUMO protease, Overly Tolerant to Salt1 in rice through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing reveals a major role of this SUMO protease in salt tolerance.

Cunjin Zhang, Anjil Kumar Srivastava, Ari Sadanandom

This study uses CRISPR/Cas9 to mutate OsOTS1 in rice, revealing its critical role in salt tolerance by showing enhanced salt sensitivity and reduced biomass in mutant lines.
