The paper examines the lengths of transmembrane helices in class I viral fusion proteins and finds they are longer than model membranes, suggesting functional relevance for viral fusion.

The paper examines how drought and salinity affect rice cultivars, finding that tolerant varieties adapt through root morphology and suberization patterns to manage water and salt uptake.

The paper investigates localized responses to salinity and drought in rice roots using a split root system, showing that tolerant varieties maintain xylem sap flow under stress while sensitive ones rely on the watered side.
