Identification of a 2-substituted Benzimidazole Derivative with Antimycobacterial Activity and Synergistic Interaction with Rifampicin

The paper evaluates novel 2-substituted benzimidazole derivatives against bacteria, identifies NR-5 as a potent antimycobacterial lead with synergistic activity against rifampicin.

Intron Retention Controls Localization of lncRNAs PURPL and MALAT1 to Promote Cell Proliferation and Migration

The paper identifies U2AF2's role in intron retention of lncRNAs PURPL and MALAT1, showing how this process affects their localization and promotes cell proliferation and migration.

p53-induced RNA-binding protein ZMAT3 inhibits transcription of a hexokinase to suppress mitochondrial respiration

This study identifies ZMAT3 as a regulator of HKDC1 transcription through JUN, suppressing mitochondrial respiration in colorectal cancer cells.

eQTL regulating Transcript Levels Associated with Diverse Biological Processes in Tomato

This study identifies 7,200 eQTL regulating transcript levels of 5,300 genes in tomato, revealing complex genetic architecture and associations with biological processes and phenotypes.

Auxin signaling is a common factor underlying natural variation in tomato shade avoidance

The paper identifies auxin signaling and cell wall expansion genes as key factors in natural variation of shade avoidance in tomato, linking them to growth plasticity and QTL effects on stem elongation and developmental rate.

Light-induced indeterminacy alters shade avoiding tomato leaf morphology

This study shows that shade avoidance in tomato plants alters leaf shape through changes in gene expression related to indeterminacy, not through juvenile leaf type prolongation.
