This study shows that recurrent drought in sugarcane creates a stress memory that enhances future resilience through metabolic changes and improved physiological responses.

This study identifies multiple GGPPS isoforms in tomato and shows that SlG2 and SlG3 cooperatively supply GGPP for carotenoid biosynthesis, with SlG3 having a stronger impact on metabolic and developmental traits.

This study shows that increased MDS gene expression in Arabidopsis affects chloroplast redox status and photosynthetic electron transfer, with hypoxia mitigating these effects in an MDS-overexpressor mutant.

The paper presents the draft genome and transcriptome of Nicotiana glauca, along with metabolome analysis, providing a resource for studying secondary metabolites and phylogenetics in tobacco species.

The paper shows RCD1 interacts with ANAC transcription factors to regulate chloroplastic and mitochondrial retrograde signaling via ROS-dependent mechanisms.

The paper identifies novel molecular signatures of C4 photosynthesis by analyzing transcriptomes from eighteen independent origins of C4 plants, revealing shared and new metabolic pathways and gene expression responses to low CO2.
