The paper profiles metabolome and transcriptome of chicory roots to study laticifer development and specialized metabolism, finding compartmentalization of STL biosynthesis and inulin trafficking.

This study shows that Agrobacterium strains producing cytokinins induce trichome initiation and acylsugar production in N. benthamiana, highlighting cytokinin's role in trichome development and potential experimental artifacts.

This study shows that the fungal endophyte Macrophomina phaseolina interacts with the coumarin scopoletin to enhance Arabidopsis iron nutrition by converting it into iron-chelating esculetin.

The paper demonstrates that fusing CRISPR endonucleases to specific 5'-exonucleases significantly increases scar-free multikilobase knock-in frequencies in plants.

The paper reports the production of 130 diterpenoids in yeast through combinatorial biosynthesis using ten diterpene synthases and four cytochrome P450 enzymes, with 80 novel compounds identified.

This study shows that DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) in plants induce the transcription and translation of damage-induced long RNAs (dilRNAs) into proteins.
