This study presents an improved crosslinking mass spectrometry strategy that preserves the physiological activity of thylakoid membranes to map native protein interactions, revealing both the structural integrity of known photosynthetic complexes and novel regulatory assemblies within functional bioenergetic systems.
This study demonstrates that in *Chlamydomonas reinhardtii*, trophic conditions differentially regulate the coupling between carbon metabolism and cell-cycle progression, with mixotrophy promoting rapid growth and early cell-cycle commitment through enhanced metabolic flux, while heterotrophy induces metabolic adjustments and delays cell-cycle entry via acetate assimilation and WEE1 upregulation.
This study demonstrates that integrating UAV-derived multispectral imagery with machine learning, specifically Kernel Ridge Regression, provides a scalable and accurate method for predicting late blight severity in diverse potato breeding populations, outperforming traditional vegetation indices and reducing reliance on labor-intensive visual assessments.
This paper introduces FennoTraits, a comprehensive dataset comprising over 155,000 functional trait observations and 42,000 abundance estimates for 373 vascular plant species across 1,235 low-impact sites in Fennoscandia, providing a detailed profile of plant functional traits and community composition in northern European tundra and boreal forest ecosystems.
This study investigates how pH influences the growth and salt-stress-induced mucilage formation of cyanobacteria, revealing that these strains are alkaliphiles that grow fastest at pH 10.5 and that buffered media significantly alter bloom formation regimes in ways not solely determined by pH values.
This study reveals that in the green microalga *Chlamydomonas reinhardtii*, ferredoxin NADP+ reductase (FNR) is directly tethered to photosystem I via a conserved N-terminal helix of the Lhca4 antenna protein, establishing an evolutionarily conserved mechanism for regulating photosynthetic electron partitioning through spatial organization.
ArchiCrop is a parametric 3D architectural model that bridges the gap between homogeneous crop models and complex functional-structural plant models by generating diverse plant morphotypes constrained by crop dynamics, thereby enabling multiscale analysis of processes like light interception and supporting applications in uncertainty analysis, phenotyping, and ideotype design.
This paper introduces LipoTag, a minimal chemical motif that converts hydrophobic fluorophores into water-soluble, membrane-targeted probes capable of penetrating plant cell walls, thereby enabling live, functional imaging of plant plasma membrane dynamics and properties.
This study presents a cell-type-resolved transcriptional atlas of resistant soybean roots that reveals how coordinated multicellular reprogramming, including vascular cambium-derived syncytium initiation, disruption of feeding site establishment, and hormone-mediated defense, collectively prevents soybean cyst nematode infection.
This study identifies the Arabidopsis thaliana receptor-like kinase ESC1 (PERK13) as the genetic determinant mediating natural variation in competitive escape responses to the weed Poa annua through distinct, tissue-specific protein interaction networks.
This study demonstrates that the root symbiotic endophyte *Trichoderma harzianum* reprograms the tomato polyamine metabolic network by enhancing flux through the ornithine decarboxylase pathway and redirecting polyamines into anti-herbivore conjugates, thereby conferring resistance against the herbivore *Spodoptera exigua*.
This study characterizes the dietary fiber composition of Hass avocados throughout ripening, revealing that total fiber content decreases as pectin solubilizes and depolymerizes while cellulose and hemicellulose levels remain stable.
This study evaluates three phytohormone extraction methods for tomato tissues and finds that simpler single-phase extraction often performs as well as or better than more complex solid-phase extraction methods in minimizing matrix effects and ensuring accurate quantification.
This study reveals that autophagy acts as a spatial organizer of plant immunity in *Arabidopsis thaliana* by differentially regulating pathogen responses across cell types, where it promotes stomatal reopening in guard cells via PYL4 degradation while restricting immune activation to ensure effective defense execution in mesophyll cells.
By integrating phenomic and transcriptomic analyses, this study reveals that North African durum wheat landraces (Chili and Mahmoudi) exhibit superior drought plasticity compared to breeding lines through distinct regulatory programs involving photosynthesis protection, osmotic adjustment, and robust root maintenance, offering key targets for breeding climate-resilient varieties.
This study demonstrates that while polar *Chlamydomonas* algae acclimated to climate-shifted conditions (higher light and lower salinity) grow rapidly, they become significantly more vulnerable to lethal heat stress compared to those acclimated to native-like conditions, suggesting that changing polar environments may increase the susceptibility of these key primary producers to heat waves.
This study reveals that root-knot nematodes secrete functional mimics of plant phytosulfokine (PSK) peptides to manipulate host developmental pathways, thereby facilitating the formation of feeding sites and ensuring successful parasitism.
This study demonstrates that a monolayer-protected silver nanoadsorbent effectively removes arsenic (III) from water, thereby mitigating arsenic-induced toxicity in rice seedlings by restoring growth, root morphology, and antioxidant defense systems while reducing oxidative stress.
By applying single plant-transcriptomics to a population of malt-barley, researchers reconstructed early infection dynamics to identify endemic genetic variants associated with ROS-burst production, lectin-kinase signaling, and DON-detoxification, thereby transforming intra-cultivar heterogeneity into a powerful tool for discovering hidden genetic resistance against *Fusarium graminearum*.
This study identifies OEP24.1, an outer plastid envelope -barrel protein, as a novel receptor that mediates selective piecemeal autophagy of chloroplast stromal proteins by interacting with ATG8, thereby regulating carbon allocation and xylem composition in *Arabidopsis*.
