AFC kinases regulate warm temperature-responsive growth in Arabidopsis

This study shows that AFC kinases in Arabidopsis regulate warm temperature-responsive growth by controlling splicing patterns and hypocotyl elongation through phosphorylation of SR proteins.

Cold stress induces a rapid redistribution of the antagonistic marks H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study shows that cold stress causes rapid redistribution of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 marks in Arabidopsis, with distinct gene sets affected and H3K27me3 not solely repressing cold-inducible genes.

Human Th17- and IgG3-associated autoimmunity induced by a translocating gut pathobiont

This study shows that the gut pathobiont Enterococcus gallinarum induces human Th17 and IgG3 autoantibody responses linked to disease activity in autoimmune patients.

Non-pathogenic leaf-colonising bacteria elicit pathogen-like responses in a colonisation density-dependent manner

The paper shows that non-pathogenic bacteria cause pathogen-like plant responses depending on their density, with high titers triggering strong defense mechanisms.

Completing the TRB family: newly characterized members show ancient evolutionary origins and distinct localization, yet similar interactions

The paper characterizes two new TRB family members in Arabidopsis thaliana, showing they have distinct localization but similar interactions with telomerase and PRC2 complexes.

Transposons repressed by H3K27me3 were co-opted as cis-regulatory elements of H3K27me3 controlled protein coding genes during evolution of plants

The paper investigates how H3K27me3 marks transposons in different plant lineages and shows that these elements were co-opted as cis-regulatory elements for PRC2-controlled genes during evolution.

Transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation and transcriptional memory of chromatin regulators in response to low temperature

The paper profiles chromatin gene regulation in response to low temperature stress and reveals transcriptional and post-transcriptional changes, including alternative splicing, during deacclimation.

Measurement of skeletal muscle fiber contractility with high-speed traction microscopy

This paper introduces a method to measure contractile forces and calcium dynamics in single muscle fibers using high-speed traction microscopy and applies it to mouse fibers.

PWO1 interacts with PcG proteins and histones to regulate Arabidopsis flowering and development.
