Early root architectural traits and their relationship with yield in Ipomoea batatas L.

The paper evaluates early root architectural traits in sweetpotato genotypes and finds correlations between these traits and storage root yield.

Lysosomal acid lipase-activity as a novel target to efficiently address triple-negative breast cancer high malignancy

This study shows that inhibiting lysosomal acid lipase (LIPA) reduces breast cancer stemness and sensitizes triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells to chemotherapy, suggesting LIPA as a novel therapeutic target.

Cauliflower mosaic virus disease spectrum uncovers novel susceptibility factor NCED9 in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study identifies NCED9 as a susceptibility factor for Cauliflower mosaic virus in Arabidopsis thaliana through genome-wide association mapping of viral accumulation differences.

Cauliflower mosaic virus protein P6 forms a microenvironment for RNA granule proteins and interferes with stress granule responses

This study identifies Cauliflower mosaic virus protein P6 as a modulator of stress granule responses by forming a microenvironment and altering SG dynamics during infection.

Cauliflower Mosaic Virus Utilizes Processing Bodies to Escape Translational Repression in Arabidopsis

This study shows Cauliflower Mosaic Virus uses Arabidopsis processing bodies to escape translational repression, distinct from their canonical RNA decay roles.

Turnip crinkle virus targets host ATG8 proteins to attenuate antiviral autophagy

This study shows that Turnip crinkle virus uses P38 to suppress antiviral autophagy by targeting ATG8 proteins, revealing a novel counterdefense mechanism in plant viruses.

Autophagic degradation of the Cucumber mosaic virus virulence factor 2b balances antiviral RNA silencing with proviral plant fitness and virus seed transmission

This study shows autophagy degrades CMV 2b, balancing antiviral RNA silencing with plant fitness and virus transmission.

Arabidopsis thaliana natural variation in temperature-modulated immunity uncovers transcription factor UNE12 as a thermoresponsive regulator

The paper identifies UNE12 as a temperature-responsive regulator of salicylic acid immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana using natural variation and genetic analysis.
