The stem cell-type transcriptome of bioenergy sorghum reveals the spatial regulation of secondary cell wall networks

The paper identifies cell-type specific gene expression and regulatory networks in bioenergy sorghum stems to enable engineering for biofuel production.

Genome-wide association studies across environmental and genetic contexts reveal complex genetic architecture of symbiotic extended phenotypes

This study uses genome-wide association studies to analyze how genetic variation in symbiotic microbes and hosts influences partner quality across environmental and host contexts.

Positive Selection and Heat-Response Transcriptomes Reveal Adaptive Features of the Brassicaceae Desert Model, Anastatica hierochuntica

This study identifies adaptive features of the desert plant Anastatica hierochuntica by comparing its transcriptome to Arabidopsis thaliana under heat stress, revealing gene selection and expression patterns linked to heat tolerance and desert adaptation.

WRKY1 mediates transcriptional crosstalk between light and nitrogen signaling pathways in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper identifies WRKY1 as a transcription factor that mediates crosstalk between light and nitrogen signaling pathways in Arabidopsis thaliana, enabling energy conservation through metabolic adjustments.

Combining gene network, metabolic, and leaf-level models show means to future-proof soybean photosynthesis under rising CO2.

This paper integrates gene network, metabolic, and leaf-level models to predict genetic modifications that could enhance soybean photosynthesis under elevated CO2 levels.

HRS1/HHOs GARP transcription factors and reactive oxygen species are regulators of Arabidopsis nitrogen starvation response.

This study identifies HHO GARP transcription factors and reactive oxygen species as key regulators of the Arabidopsis nitrogen starvation response through direct repression of nitrate transporters and ROS signaling.
