This study shows that prolonged cold exposure enhances regeneration potential in Arabidopsis by activating specific transcription factors and histone acetylation mechanisms.

The paper identifies EC1 bodies as structures that form a gamete pit to guide sperm cell delivery in flowering plants, revealing their role in fertilization.

The paper introduces bioCP-SEM, a method for high-resolution imaging of plant-microbe interfaces in natural soil, revealing microbial structures and interactions in various environments.

This study identifies PKS2 and PBG13 as essential for forming a semipermeable cell wall in pathogenic fungi, enabling turgor pressure and pathogenicity.

The paper identifies chromid-like secondary replicons in Ktedonobacteria as key genomic regions harboring biosynthetic gene clusters, expanding understanding of soil microbial secondary metabolism.

This study identifies Kinesin12-II as a motor protein essential for transporting cell plate materials to the phragmoplast midzone in moss, revealing its role in cell plate formation and gametophore development.

The paper introduces RudLOV, an optical method for synchronized cargo release, revealing dynasore's differential effects on early and late Golgi transport.

This study identifies COPI as essential for SARS-CoV-2 virion transport from the ERGIC, showing that COPB2 depletion inhibits viral replication.
