Overexpressing rice peptide OsPSY8 lengthens roots but lowers osmotic stress survival, while knockout raises it; OsWRKY24 represses the OsPSY8 promoter and is induced by PEG.

In Physcomitrium patens, genetic evidence suggests sulfated PSY peptide binding inactivates its receptor kinases rather than activating them; kinase-dead receptors rescue tpst mutants, while receptor overexpression phenocopies loss of sulfation.

This study shows that the peptide hormone PSY1 promotes root growth by inducing flavonol biosynthesis, which regulates cell elongation and differentiation in Arabidopsis.

The paper shows that sulfotyrosyl peptide signaling via TPST is essential for plant development in Physcomitrium patens, with conserved function across species.

This study shows that transgenic rice genotypes overexpressing PSY genes reduce methane emissions by altering rhizosphere microbial hydrogen cycling through changes in gene activity and metabolic pathways.

The paper maps transcription factor-promoter interactions for PSY/PSYR genes in Arabidopsis, identifies key regulators of root growth, and validates a CRF10-binding motif's role in growth regulation.

The paper combines directed evolution with a protein language model to predict genotype-to-phenotype relationships in rice immune receptors, identifying variants with improved ligand binding.

This study uses directed evolution to engineer a plant immune receptor to recognize diverse pathogen effectors, enhancing broad-spectrum resistance in crops.

The paper maps protein complexes across 13 plant species, revealing conserved and novel assemblies with agricultural relevance.

The paper reports the de novo genome sequencing and analysis of the rice variety KitaakeX, identifying genomic variations and providing a high-quality reference for rice functional genomics.

This study identifies a histidine kinase gene, OsHK1, essential for root tip circumnutation and surface exploration in rice, with cytokinin signaling involvement.

Open-source KBase platform unites reference genomes and biochemistry, over 70 apps, Jupyter-based Narratives with provenance, and a Docker SDK for reproducible plant and microbial systems biology.

The paper constructs WheatNet, a genome-scale functional network for hexaploid bread wheat, integrating 20 genomics datasets and 156,000 co-expression links.
