This study shows SigA forms amyloid fibrils that help Shigella sonnei compete with the microbiota by forming complexes with colicin E1 that have antimicrobial activity.

This study identifies the CUTIN SYNTHASE (CUS) enzyme family as a key driver in the evolution of the plant cuticle during terrestrialization.

This study identifies SDG26 as a chromatin modifier that regulates cold stress responses in Arabidopsis by modulating ABA-dependent and ABA-independent pathways.

This study identifies the CYP73 gene family's ancient role in t-cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylation and embryophyte development through functional analysis in bryophytes.

This study shows that metabolic enzymes act as autophagy receptors in plants to degrade defense executors during viral infection, revealing autophagy as a tolerance pathway rather than an antiviral defense.
