Guanylate cyclase activity of TIR1/AFB auxin receptors mediates rapid auxin responses

The paper shows TIR1/AFB auxin receptors have both adenylate and guanylate cyclase activities, mediating transcriptional reprogramming and rapid Ca2+-dependent growth responses.

Mechanodetection of neighbor plants elicits adaptive leaf movements through calcium dynamics

This study identifies a calcium-dependent signaling pathway in Arabidopsis that mediates touch-induced hyponasty, showing it is adaptive in plant competition.

A triresidue motif in the GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR-LIKE 3.3 C-tail interacts with IMPAIRED SUCROSE INDUCTION 1 and controls long distance wound signaling

The paper identifies a triresidue motif in GLR3.3's C-tail that interacts with ISI1, essential for wound signaling and jasmonate defense responses in Arabidopsis.

Improving diagnosis and monitoring of treatment response in pulmonary tuberculosis using the molecular bacterial load assay (MBLA)

This study evaluates the Molecular Bacterial Load assay (MBLA) for diagnosing and monitoring tuberculosis treatment response, finding it provides reliable, contamination-resistant results faster than traditional methods.
