ELF3 polyQ variation in Arabidopsis thaliana reveals a PIF4-independent role in thermoresponsive flowering.

The paper investigates ELF3 polyQ variation in Arabidopsis thaliana and finds it plays a PIF4-independent role in thermoresponsive flowering through the photoperiodic pathway.

Redundancy, feedback, and robustness in the Arabidopsis thaliana BZR/BEH gene family

The paper investigates the role of the Arabidopsis thaliana BZR/BEH gene family in developmental robustness, finding that only BEH4 contributes to trait robustness, challenging assumptions about functional redundancy.

Hsp90 promotes kinase evolution

This study shows Hsp90 client status increases kinase evolutionary rate and genetic variation, supporting the capacitor hypothesis, but client status is more stable than expected across kinases.

The conserved PFT1 tandem repeat is crucial for proper flowering in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study shows that the PFT1 tandem repeat in Arabidopsis thaliana is crucial for flowering time and other traits, with its length affecting whether it acts as an activator or repressor of flowering.
