This study shows that Arabidopsis TTL is essential for U12-type intron splicing, especially AT-AC introns, and identifies distinct spliceosomal functions from DROL1.

This study shows that AHK3 and CKX4 in roots regulate tZ-type cytokinin transport via xylem, affecting leaf size based on nitrogen availability.

This study shows HSFA1 transcription factors are crucial for wound-induced cellular reprogramming in Arabidopsis, promoting callus formation and shoot regeneration.

This study identifies a molecular intermediate state in Cycas revoluta fertilization, showing cycad sperm retain motility features while pollen tubes lack angiosperm-like tip growth mechanisms.

This study shows ELF3, a circadian clock component, restricts lateral root development by maintaining rhythmic gene expression and interacting with hormonal signals in Arabidopsis.

The paper identifies FT-expressing companion cells in leaves, reveals their unique gene expression profile, and shows that NIGT1 represses FT under nitrogen-rich conditions.

This study shows shoot nitrate status regulates Arabidopsis growth and gene expression via shoot IPT3, which modulates CKs and transcriptomic responses in shoots and roots.

This study identifies WIND1 as a bifunctional chromatin regulator that coordinates transcriptional reprogramming during somatic embryogenesis by mediating both histone deacetylation and acetylation.

The paper identifies trehalase-derived peptides as MAMPs that trigger LecRK-V-mediated immune responses in Arabidopsis, enabling broad-spectrum pathogen detection.

This study shows that brassinosteroids (BRs) function as reproductive hormones in Arabidopsis, regulating gene expression in both male and female reproductive tissues during fertilization.

This study shows that Arabidopsis RFNR1 and RFNR2 are essential for root growth and ferredoxin-dependent processes, as demonstrated by mutant analysis and transcriptome changes.

This study shows that brassinosteroids and flavonols enhance pollen tube germination and growth under temperature stress by maintaining ROS homeostasis.

The paper identifies QSK1 as a novel negative regulator of PRR-RBOHD complex and shows it is targeted by the bacterial effector HopF2Pto to suppress plant immunity.

This study performs transcriptomic analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana funiculus in stk mutants to identify deregulated genes and processes involved in seed development.

This study shows that alternative oxidase (AOX) reduces mitochondrial oxidative stress and supports plant growth under limited nitrate reduction in Arabidopsis thaliana.

The paper identifies FLP1 as a gene expressed in FT-producing cells in Arabidopsis that promotes flowering and stem growth under long-day conditions.

This study identifies DROL1 as an Arabidopsis U5 snRNP subunit required for splicing AT-AC-type introns, showing its role in plant growth and development through RNA-Seq analysis of mutants.

This study identifies diap1 as a more effective target for RNAi-based pest control due to its ability to rapidly reduce crop damage compared to conventional targets.

The paper shows that presynaptic MAST kinase in C. elegans controls bidirectional postsynaptic responses to encode thermal stimulus valence through opposing signals.
