This study investigates the role of MAX2 C-terminal helix conformational changes in KAR/KL and SL signaling, showing conservation of its function between pathways.

This study shows that the PHR2 gene regulates arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis by controlling phosphate starvation responses in rice, enhancing root colonization and phosphate uptake.

This study shows KAI2 regulates light-induced auxin transport remodeling in seedlings by controlling PIN protein abundance, not gene expression, and its loss leads to altered growth patterns.

The paper compares the genomes of plant-associated Acidovorax strains to identify genetic traits linked to plant growth promotion and pathogenicity.

The paper analyzes the structural and functional diversity of pea KAI2 receptors, revealing stereoselective catalysis and ligand perception differences between KAI2A and KAI2B.

This study shows that KAI2a and KAI2b in Lotus japonicus have divergent ligand-binding specificities and organ-dependent redundancy in response to karrikin ligands.

The paper shows that maize root type and soil phosphate levels shape fungal communities and root transcriptomes, with lateral roots showing specific defense responses and reduced arbuscular mycorrhiza colonization at high phosphate.

The paper identifies plant lipid transfer to arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi, showing that fungal growth depends on lipid, not just sugar, from the host.
