The paper develops a yeast two-hybrid platform to identify E3-substrate interactions in Arabidopsis circadian clock regulation, finding PUB18 interacts with LHY and JMJD5 and functions redundantly with PUB19.

This study identifies a circadian clock-regulated ubiquitin ligase, CFH1, that targets PIF3 for degradation, linking the circadian clock to photomorphogenic growth through protein stability.

This study compares sweet and mechanosensory perception in Drosophila suzukii and D. melanogaster, showing differences in sugar response, mechanosensation, and cue integration that may explain their distinct egg-laying preferences.
