This study integrates genome-wide association and transcriptomic analyses of Arabidopsis thaliana to identify key genetic loci and molecular pathways, including lipid metabolism, protein degradation, and iron deficiency responses, that govern alkalinity tolerance and offer targets for engineering crop resilience.
This study reveals that in sugar beet, the intensity of drought stress dictates a metabolic trade-off where moderate drought enhances leaf nutritional quality and boosts beet leaf miner performance despite reduced host detectability, whereas high drought severely limits both plant water content and larval development.
This study reveals that while the developmental functions of DELLA proteins are evolutionarily conserved in the GA-lacking liverwort *Marchantia paleacea*, their role in arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis evolved later in vascular plants, likely driven by the integration of gibberellic acid-mediated systemic control.
This study demonstrates that the vascular cambium of poplar trees retains a multi-layered, trans-annual drought memory mediated by mitotically stable CG DNA methylation and hormonal changes, which primes future stress responses and is shaped by both genetic background and epigenetic mechanisms.
This study demonstrates that Turnip mosaic virus infection selectively filters and restructures the bacterial, but not fungal, root microbiome of *Arabidopsis thaliana* in a genotype-specific manner, ultimately driving the reassembly of resilient microbial networks.
This study employs 3D multicellular mathematical models to demonstrate that the helically symmetric body plan of basal land plants naturally emerges from a single apical stem cell's self-renewing divisions, driven by geometric principles like the least area rule and mechanical principles like the maximal tension rule that collectively determine division orientation and tetrahedral geometry.
This study demonstrates that the developmental timing of terminal drought interacts with cultivar-specific growth strategies to alter chickpea pod productivity and grain composition, specifically increasing protein concentration and decreasing starch content regardless of rewatering.
Through extensive population-level genomic sampling, this study refines the long-standing hypothesis that Pleistocene climate dynamics drove hybridization in *Heuchera* by revealing that multiple independent, unidirectional chloroplast capture events occurred within a restricted eastern glacial refugium, creating a complex geographic structure of hybrid genotypes that now occupy a broader range than their ancestral forms.
This study presents a high-resolution, mass spectrometry-based strategy that successfully maps the subcellular localization of thousands of proteins across multiple plant species, revealing deep conservation of the plant proteome and providing a robust framework for detecting dynamic protein relocalization in response to treatments or genetic mutations.
This study demonstrates that in the morphologically minimal duckweed *Wolffia brasiliensis*, extensive transposable element expansion drives significant reorganization of small RNA profiles and DNA methylation landscapes, reshaping genome architecture through altered epigenetic targeting without requiring changes to the core silencing machinery.
This study identifies IMPDH2 as the essential cytosolic isoform in Arabidopsis that drives guanylate biosynthesis and TOR-mediated ribosomal RNA production to support photosynthesis and growth, while revealing that IMPDH1 overexpression can disrupt auxin metabolism and cause abnormal organ development.
This study identifies CreTPT10 as a critical chloroplast xylulose 5-phosphate transporter in *Chlamydomonas reinhardtii* that is essential for sustaining dark-growth anabolic metabolism and coordinating chloroplast-mitochondrial energy functions.
This study identifies HS1, a grass-specific myosin VIII, as a critical regulator of protoxylem development and hydraulic conductance in sorghum, where its unique structural features drive lignin-mediated secondary cell wall reinforcement to prevent vessel collapse and ensure water transport under high evaporative demand.
This study utilizes dual fluorescent live cell imaging and quantitative analysis in *Arabidopsis thaliana* roots to demonstrate that salt stress significantly reduces chromatin velocity, establishing a robust method for investigating nuclear shape and chromatin dynamics during plant development and environmental stress.
Using logistic models and a curated species list, this study projects that the total number of Bromeliaceae species ranges between 6,658 and 7,498, revealing that current descriptions account for only 49–55% of the family's diversity and highlighting Brazil, Mexico, and the Andes as key regions for future discoveries.
This study identifies Arabidopsis CNIH5 as a phosphate starvation-induced endoplasmic reticulum cargo receptor that collaborates with PHF1 to facilitate the plasma membrane trafficking of PHT1 transporters, thereby optimizing phosphate uptake and distribution in plants.
This study investigates L-DOPA biosynthesis in faba bean by screening for the elusive L-tyrosine oxidase and characterizing TyrA genes, ultimately identifying VfADH and VfPDH as effective enhancers of L-tyrosine and L-DOPA derivative accumulation in *Nicotiana benthamiana* while confirming that the specific oxidase enzyme remains unidentified.
This study reveals that in *Chrysanthemum seticuspe*, the CsFDL1-CsFTL3 complex mediates a negative feedback loop by directly repressing *CsFTL3* transcription, thereby fine-tuning the timing of short-day-induced flowering to prevent precocious floral transition.
This study reveals that while wild cotton (*G. bickii*) maintains stable photosynthetic performance under heat and water stress through robust mesophyll conductance, cultivated cotton (*G. hirsutum*) suffers greater vulnerability due to insufficient anatomical adjustments that fail to overcome liquid-phase diffusion constraints, highlighting the critical trade-offs between photosynthetic capacity, mesophyll conductance stability, and leaf anatomy in shaping climate resilience.
This study demonstrates that cross-ploidy hybridisation in Alpine woodrushes is primarily associated with ecological additivity and niche stability, though the detection of subtle niche divergence depends critically on the spatial resolution of the environmental data used.
