This study identifies IPMK as the enzyme responsible for producing 4/6-InsP7 in land plants and shows its role in heat stress acclimation through regulation of HSF transcription activity.

This study identifies AtDJ-1C and AtDJ-1E as critical antioxidants in Arabidopsis thaliana that enhance survival under heat and oxidative stress by regulating redox homeostasis and improving plant growth.

This study identifies fast core chromosomes in Fusarium oxysporum as critical for pathogenicity across diverse plant hosts, showing conserved transcriptional activation of core effector clusters during infection.
