This study investigates the role of the type VII secretion system (T7SS) in Group B Streptococcus (GBS) virulence by comparing isolates from colonized mothers and newborns with early onset disease.

The paper uses biosensors to monitor oxidative signals from photosynthesis and finds they reduce carbon assimilation rates.

This study shows that mutating GID1 receptors in tomato reduces xylem proliferation and hydraulic conductance, leading to reduced water loss under drought.
