This study clarifies that 2'-deoxymugineic acid (DMA) secretion is a general, induced response to zinc deficiency across diverse rice genotypes, reconciling previous literature inconsistencies while indicating that this mechanism alone is insufficient for zinc tolerance without additional adaptive strategies.
This study reveals that the extensive wheat variety Saratovskaya 29 employs a unique energy-saving transcriptional strategy involving specific regulatory gene networks to cope with abiotic stresses, whereas the intensive variety Yanetskis Probat mounts a more active and broader gene response to low temperatures, highlighting distinct molecular mechanisms of stress resistance that can inform future breeding programs.
This study establishes the first TurboID-based proximity labeling system for the hydrophobic plant metal transporter IRT1, identifying 494 proximal proteins and validating the roles of NHX5 and RGLG2 in regulating IRT1 stability and metal uptake responses.
This study demonstrates that while assisted gene flow in the annual plant *Erythranthe laciniata* showed no immediate fitness advantage in the F1 generation, it conferred significant long-term benefits in the F2 generation at the species' cold range edge, suggesting that multi-generational assessments are crucial for evaluating the potential of gene flow to rescue peripheral populations under climate change.
Plant-associated *Sphingomonas* bacteria resolve the evolutionary conflict between motility and immune evasion by utilizing two independently acquired flagellin genes, where a non-immunogenic variant (FliC-L) drives swimming and an immunogenic variant (FliC-H) facilitates colonization, thereby allowing the plant immune system to detect and restrict bacterial entry into internal tissues.
This study establishes a reliable framework for multiplexing genetically encoded biosensors in plant tissues by characterizing fluorescent proteins and optimizing linear unmixing approaches to overcome signal bleed-through and chlorophyll autofluorescence, thereby enabling precise in vivo quantification of complex cellular processes.
This study identifies TGERa as the functional Pep-13 receptor in potato, demonstrating its allelic relationship with PERU, its specific role in triggering immunity compared to the non-functional homolog TGERb, and its potential for enhancing resistance against *Phytophthora infestans* through improved expression or heterologous introduction.
This study reveals that rice HMA proteins act as sensors that detect the *Magnaporthe oryzae* effector AvrPigm, triggering their translocation to the cytoplasm where they function as cyclic nucleotide synthetases to produce 2',3'-cNMP signaling molecules that are perceived by the LRR domains of executor CNLs to activate broad-spectrum blast resistance.
This study demonstrates that real-time chemical ionization mass spectrometry can accurately detect pest-induced volatile emissions on maize plants in both laboratory and field conditions, offering a promising tool for early, targeted pest monitoring to reduce pesticide use.
Using cryo-electron microscopy, this study reveals the structures of two novel late-stage Photosystem II assembly intermediates from *Thermosynechococcus vestitus*, providing new insights into how auxiliary proteins Psb27 and Psb32 regulate the maturation of the oxygen-evolving complex and challenging previous assumptions about the spontaneous and ordered binding of extrinsic subunits.
This study utilizes transcriptomic analysis of *Rosa wichurana* hybrids to reveal that quantitative resistance to *Diplocarpon rosae* is primarily driven by two distinct QTLs, where QTL B3 orchestrates classic defense responses while QTL B5 contributes through a more complex and less defined regulatory mechanism.
This paper introduces an unbiased mathematical modeling framework for quantitatively characterizing the dynamics of biological responses without prior mechanistic knowledge, which was applied to plant volatile signaling to reveal novel patterns such as time-of-day effects, HAMP-specific curve accentuation, and independent regulation of response strength and duration across genotypes.
The study reveals that the mitochondrial E3 ligase SPL2 ensures seedling emergence by ubiquitinating ER-interacting proteins TRB1 and FIS1A to modulate ER-mitochondrial tethering and regulate mitophagy in response to light.
This study reveals that the *Plasmodiophora brassicae* effector PbGH3 promotes clubroot disease by functionally mimicking the host protein GH3.12/PBS3 to manipulate salicylic acid metabolism and disrupt hormonal crosstalk, thereby altering root morphology to facilitate colonization.
This study employs in silico analyses, including structural modeling, molecular docking, and dynamics simulations, to reveal that the tomato extensin peroxidase (TomEP) possesses a stable, hydrophobic heme-binding pocket that specifically and stably binds tyrosine-rich extensin motifs, thereby elucidating the structural basis for its high efficiency in crosslinking extensin monomers for cell wall reinforcement.
This study leverages multi-model association analyses on 297 A.E. Watkins wheat landraces to identify 87 stripe rust resistance QTLs, including 14 robust loci and several novel regions, thereby uncovering a valuable reservoir of diverse and durable resistance alleles for wheat pre-breeding.
The paper introduces pamiR, a novel plastid-targeted artificial microRNA library in *Arabidopsis thaliana* that overcomes functional genetic redundancy and enables rapid, organelle-specific gene function discovery through fluorescence-accumulating seed technology.
This study demonstrates that the ribosome processing factor RPF2 interacts with RPL10A to regulate distinct sets of protein translation, thereby independently modulating plant growth, disease resistance, and drought tolerance through specific mechanisms involving gibberellic acid levels and stomatal regulation.
This study reveals that the cytosolic NADP-dependent malic enzyme 1 (NADP-ME1) is essential for abscisic acid (ABA)-mediated root growth inhibition in *Arabidopsis* by coupling NADPH production to ROS detoxification, thereby maintaining the superoxide/H2O2 balance required for proper auxin patterning at the root tip.
By developing a high-resolution 3D imaging pipeline and mathematical modeling for the moss *Physcomitrium patens*, this study reveals that its filament branching patterns are governed by a simple probabilistic rule where subapical cells have nearly equal odds of producing a side branch between successive apical divisions.
