The paper investigates how rhizobia move through Medicago truncatula root cells by analyzing the role of SyPME and NPL in cell wall modifications during infection thread progression.

This study identifies RPG as a critical protein for infection thread formation and cellular polarization during rhizobial infections in Medicago truncatula.

This study investigates the role of AARE proteases in plant ageing by analyzing mutants in Physcomitrella and Arabidopsis, linking AARE function to oxidized protein aggregation and lifespan.

The paper shows remorin proteins stabilize membrane tubules and curvature during symbiotic infections in plants.

A small molecule screen identifies tyrosine kinase inhibitors that cause lysosomal damage, leading to cell lysis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation via K+ efflux.

The paper shows that PSY2 contributes to abscisic acid formation in ripening tomato fruits by maintaining a parallel carotenogenesis pathway when PSY1 is absent.

The paper characterizes Haloferax gibbonsii LR2-5, the host of euryarchaeal virus HFTV1, and identifies features that may explain its susceptibility to the virus.

The paper identifies ArlCDE as the archaeal switch complex that mediates chemotaxis signal transduction to the archaellum in Haloferax volcanii.

This study identifies the function of MinD proteins in archaea, showing they oscillate and position motility machinery at cell poles, unlike their bacterial counterparts.

This study shows that glutathione reductase is essential for maintaining a reducing stromal glutathione redox potential in chloroplasts, which supports efficient photosynthesis and plant growth.
