SpitWorm, a robotic device, mimics insect herbivory by causing mechanical wounding and applying salivary components, inducing plant defense responses similar to real larvae feeding.

This study identifies molecular mechanisms of shade responses in maize by analyzing transcriptome changes and functionally testing a key transcription factor.

This study investigates how viral lysis products affect the transcriptome of Prochlorococcus, revealing changes in tRNA abundance, nitrogen metabolism, and photosynthetic efficiency.

The paper identifies and maps the stripe rust resistance gene YrTZ2 in wild emmer wheat and compares its genomic region with Aegilops tauschii.

This study generates transgenic pigs expressing microbial enzymes to enhance feed digestion and reduce nutrient emissions, showing improved growth and lower environmental impact.

The paper investigates SAM-SAM domain interactions in Eph receptors and identifies SAMD5 as a new binding partner, explaining disease-related mutations.

The paper sequenced 1,504 mutant lines in the rice variety Kitaake and established a database to enable rapid functional genomic studies.
