Growth arrest is a DNA damage protection strategy in plants

This study shows that plants can grow under limited water without compromising stress tolerance, but continuous cell division under stress causes DNA damage and cell death.

DELLA Proteins Recruit the Mediator Complex Subunit MED15 to Co-activate Transcription in Land Plants

This paper identifies DELLA proteins as co-activators that recruit the Mediator subunit MED15 to facilitate transcription in land plants, showing conservation from Arabidopsis to liverworts.

The making of cauliflowers: the story of unsuccessful flowers

The paper investigates how cauliflowers and Romanesco develop through hysteresis in floral networks and mutations affecting meristem growth.

Coordination between growth and stress responses by DELLA in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha

This study shows that DELLA in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha coordinates growth and stress responses, similar to vascular plants, and interacts with MpPIF to promote oxidative stress tolerance.

A genetic approach to dissect the role of prefoldins in Arabidopsis

This study uses Arabidopsis mutants to determine the role of prefoldin complex in growth, development, and environmental responses, finding that the complex is required for flowering delay, seed germination, and salt stress response, while some functions are redundant.
