This study demonstrates that exposing two cultivars of *Amaranthus tricolor* to specific monochromatic light wavelengths induces cultivar-specific metabolic reprogramming, significantly enriching nutritionally essential amino acids and phenolic compounds to enhance the crop's nutritional value in controlled agriculture systems.
This study demonstrates that drought tolerance in Napier grass is driven by a coordinated strategy of root-driven hydraulic regulation, metabolic osmotic adjustment, and enhanced water-use efficiency, which collectively sustain growth and enable rapid post-stress recovery in water-limited environments.
By integrating single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomics to construct a high-resolution atlas of poplar capsules, this study elucidates the placental origin and three-stage developmental trajectory of seed fibers while identifying key regulatory transcription factors to guide the breeding of low-fluff poplar cultivars.
This study demonstrates that the Arabidopsis SNc family nucleases AtCAN1 and AtCAN2 are broadly expressed in tissues undergoing programmed cell death and endoreduplication, suggesting they play a crucial, complementary role to nuclear S1/P1 nucleases in the degradation and recycling of nucleic acids during these distinct developmental processes.
This study identifies CRK28 as a redox-regulated hub that decodes extracellular ROS signals through cysteine-dependent dimerization to orchestrate plant immune responses and senescence via dynamic interaction networks.
This study demonstrates that genotype-dependent tolerance to iron deficiency in soybean is driven by the enhanced secretion of redox-active, di-O-methylated coumarins, particularly catechol methylsideretin, which effectively mobilize iron from ferric oxide.
This study reveals that the conserved photosynthetic cytochrome c6A enhances the growth of *Chlamydomonas reinhardtii* under fluctuating light by maintaining photosystem balance and preventing photooxidative stress, thereby offering new insights into plant acclimatization to variable light conditions.
This study reveals that the tomato cultivar M82 restricts sodium accumulation to bundle sheath cells by reducing symplastic transport via PDLP1-mediated plasmodesmal closure, whereas salt-tolerant wild relatives allow sodium to distribute throughout the mesophyll, highlighting a key cellular mechanism for leaf-level salt tolerance.
The Arabidopsis histone acetyltransferase GCN5 promotes root growth under salt stress by repressing the expression of peroxidase genes PRX71 and PRX33—likely through an indirect mechanism involving H3K9 acetylation and upstream transcription factors—thereby preventing excessive ROS accumulation and ectopic lignin deposition.
This study identifies and characterizes 219 small signaling peptide genes in *Sorghum bicolor* through phylogenetic and expression analyses, revealing distinct spatial and temporal expression patterns during stem development that provide a foundation for modulating biomass production traits.
This study characterizes the self-incompatibility genes in *Brassica rapa* varieties Toria and Yellow sarson, identifying SRK, FER, and ARC1 as key regulators that activate ROS during the SI response, thereby establishing a foundation for leveraging this mechanism to improve hybrid breeding and crop diversity.
This study presents a scalable decision-support framework that integrates genomic prediction with a large language model interface to efficiently screen global Capsicum germplasm collections, thereby accelerating the development of climate-resilient cultivars with optimized fruit quality.
Although the phosphorylation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) by PEPC-protein kinase in *Zea mays* alters the enzyme's sensitivity to malate inhibition in vitro, this post-translational modification is not essential for photosynthetic performance or field growth, indicating the presence of additional regulatory mechanisms in planta.
This study reveals that in plants, the transcription elongation factor SPT6L recruits AGO4 via its AGO-hook domain to guide sRNA-directed mRNA cytosine methylation, a process essential for preventing RNA polymerase II stalling and ensuring proper transcription termination.
This study demonstrates that the CUTIN SYNTHASE (CUS) enzyme family originated in the common ancestor of land plants approximately 500 million years ago and has been conserved throughout evolution as a pivotal driver for the emergence and structural integrity of the plant cuticle during terrestrialization.
By integrating multi-omics data and network biology approaches, this study identifies the transcription factor ANAC046 as a key regulator of amino acid transport that promotes Arabidopsis susceptibility to *Pseudomonas syringae* during effector-triggered susceptibility, while also providing a new open-access platform (MIData) to support future plant-pathogen research.
This study utilizes genetic, microscopic, and phylogenetic analyses in *Arabidopsis thaliana* to demonstrate that while RAB GDI1 and GDI2 are essential for vegetative growth and GDI2 and GDI3 are vital for reproduction, the evolutionary diversification of the RAB GDI family in seed plants reflects the specialization of angiosperm reproduction and gametophyte development.
This study reveals that the fungal effector UmPce3 from *Ustilago maydis* targets the chloroplast DEAD-box RNA helicase RH3 in maize to manipulate organelle function, thereby balancing host health and fungal virulence to support biotrophic infection.
This study presents the development and validation of TSGMAC, a low-cost, helium-free particle bombardment system using a standard air compressor that successfully generates stable transgenic plants in rice and onion, offering an accessible alternative to expensive commercial gene guns.
This study demonstrates that the genomic foundation model Evo 2, particularly when augmented with a sign-reversal amplitude metric, effectively identifies functionally impactful plant variants, highlighting its potential for causal variant prioritization in plant genetics research.
