The paper presents a single-cell RNA-seq atlas of poplar shoots, identifies epidermal subclusters, and discovers new trichome-specific genes through integration with bulk transcriptome data.

This study identifies a gene responsible for soybean resistance to leaf-chewing insects by showing that loss of flavonol 3-O-glucosyltransferase activity increases proanthocyanidins and reduces feeding damage.

This paper develops a method to determine site-specific O-acetylation in RG-I oligomers using deuterated acetyl groups and tandem mass spectrometry.

Glydentify predicts donor substrates for glycosyltransferases using deep learning, achieving high accuracy and providing explainable insights into enzyme-substrate relationships.

The paper provides a detailed structural analysis of rhamnogalacturonan-I in Arabidopsis, revealing novel structural features including O-acetylation of rhamnose residues.

The paper characterizes two GT61 enzymes in Sorghum bicolor, identifies their functions in xylan modification, and identifies a residue critical for sugar donor specificity through structural and biochemical analysis.

This paper investigates the role of GT47B genes in arabinan deposition in Marchantia polymorpha by analyzing mutants and overexpression lines, revealing reduced 1,5-L-arabinan in Mparadl2 mutants and challenges in purifying GT47B proteins.

The paper uses machine learning models to analyze sequence and structural data of GT-B enzymes to identify factors determining substrate specificity.

The paper identifies a putative rhamnogalacturonan-II CMP-β-Kdo transferase by using CRISPR/Cas9 to generate a callus mutant lacking Kdo, which disrupts RG-II crosslinking and growth.
