This study identifies nitrate-induced phosphoproteomic changes in Arabidopsis roots, revealing PIN2 phosphorylation as critical for root system architecture regulation.

The paper identifies ten genes in maize that drive antibiotic biosynthesis, revealing a resilient pathway critical for disease resistance.

This study shows that deleting or inhibiting OCA-B in T cells protects mice from type-1 diabetes by reducing autoreactive CD8+ T cells and inducing anergy in CD4+ T cells.

This study identifies and characterizes the kisspeptin system in the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus, revealing its existence and function in a non-chordate species.

The paper shows that post-translational modification of IRR regulates alternative splicing of defense transcripts, enhancing immune signaling by deactivating a negative regulatory circuit.
