This study identifies MpHYPNOS as a key regulator of gemma dormancy in liverworts, showing it represses cell cycle genes and induces ABA biosynthesis through an ABA-independent pathway.

This study elucidates the mechanism of intramembrane proteolysis by E. coli RseP through crystal structures and mutational analysis, revealing a gating mechanism for substrate entry.

This study identifies UGT74J1 as a key enzyme regulating basal salicylic acid levels in rice, showing that its mutation leads to SA overaccumulation and enhanced disease resistance but also growth defects.
