WHIRLY1 regulates aliphatic glucosinolate biosynthesis in early seedling development of Arabidopsis

This study shows that WHIRLY1 regulates aliphatic glucosinolate biosynthesis in early Arabidopsis seedling development by affecting gene expression in the biosynthetic pathway.

Anatomical insights into the vascular lay-out of the barley rachis: implications for transport and spikelet connection

This study examines the vascular anatomy of barley rachis to understand its relationship with spike size and transport capacity.

EARLY MATURITY 7 modifies the circadian clock and photoperiod sensitivity in barley

This study identifies the eam7 mutation in barley that causes early flowering by altering circadian clock function and photoperiod sensitivity.

PEP444c encoded within the MIR444c gene regulates microRNA444c accumulation in barley

The paper identifies PEP444c as a factor involved in microRNA444c biogenesis in barley through CRISPR-mediated mutagenesis and ribosome association analysis.

The balance between growth and resistance is shifted to the latter by overaccumulation of chloroplast-nucleus located WHIRLY1 in barley

Overaccumulation of WHIRLY1 in barley shifts the balance from growth to stress resistance by enhancing defense gene expression and reducing photosynthesis and growth.

Dosage of duplicated and antifunctionalized homeobox proteins influences spikelet development in barley

This study shows that the dosage of HvHOX1 and HvHOX2, two antagonistic homeobox transcription factors, influences spikelet development in barley.

The Arabidopsis AAC Proteins CIL and CIA2 Are Sub-functionalized Paralogs involved in Chloroplast Development

This study shows that Arabidopsis CIL and CIA2, paralogous genes involved in chloroplast development, have partially overlapping functions, with CIL localized to the nucleus and CIA2 possibly localized to chloroplasts.

Integrating cyanobacterial flavodiiron proteins within the chloroplast photosynthetic electron transport chain maintains carbohydrate turnover and enhances drought stress tolerance in barley

This study expresses cyanobacterial Flv1 and Flv3 proteins in barley chloroplasts to enhance drought stress tolerance by improving carbohydrate turnover and metabolic activity.

Posttranslational modification of the RHO of plants protein RACB by phosphorylation and cross-kingdom conserved ubiquitination

The paper identifies phosphorylation and ubiquitination of the plant ROP RACB, showing conserved ubiquitination sites across species and their role in protein stability.

Unleashing floret fertility by a mutated homeobox gene improved grain yield during wheat evolution under domestication

This study identifies GNI1, a homeobox gene whose mutations increased floret fertility and grain yield in wheat during domestication.

Effect of Thiobacillus and superabsorbent on essential oil components in Thyme species

This study investigates how Thiobacillus bio-fertilizer and superabsorbent affect essential oil composition in two thyme species using GC/MS analysis.

The plastid-nucleus located DNA/RNA binding protein WHIRLY1 regulates microRNA-levels during stress

This study shows that WHIRLY1 regulates microRNA levels during stress by coordinating chloroplast and nuclear gene expression in barley.
