New high-throughput screening assays for nitrification inhibitors identify an oxazolidine-thione as biological nitrification inhibitor

The paper develops high-throughput screening assays to identify new nitrification inhibitors, discovering goitrin as a biological nitrification inhibitor.

Structure-function analysis of a calcium-independent metacaspase reveals a novel proteolytic pathway for lateral root emergence

This study solves the structure of a calcium-independent metacaspase and identifies inhibitors that block lateral root emergence in Arabidopsis.

Tau amyloid polymorphism is shaped by local structural propensities of its protein sequence

The paper identifies a C-terminal tau peptide that adopts polymorphic conformations contributing to disease-specific tau filament folds and propagation.

Mapping the sequence specificity of heterotypic amyloid interactions enables the identification of aggregation modifiers

The paper identifies sequence-specific rules governing heterotypic amyloid interactions and shows how they can modify amyloid assembly and contribute to neurodegenerative disease progression.

Arabidopsis Casein Kinase 2 triggers Stem Cell Exhaustion under Al Toxicity and Phosphate Deficiency Through activation of the DNA Damage Response pathway

The paper identifies CK2 and DNA damage response regulators as key factors in controlling Arabidopsis root growth under Al toxicity and phosphate limitation.
