The paper identifies a novel biosynthetic pathway for baccatin III production using engineered microbes, achieving its complete de novo synthesis through enzymatic validation and pathway engineering.

This study reports the crystal structure of a light-activated maize CRY1c-ZmGL2 complex, revealing its role in regulating cuticular wax biosynthesis through structural and biochemical analysis.

This study reveals that JAZ1 undergoes phase separation in response to wounding, facilitating rapid jasmonate signaling by reducing its interaction with MYC2 and recruiting COI1 for degradation.

This study uses split protein reassembly and optogenetic techniques to control PLD enzymatic activity by modulating domain interactions.
