The paper identifies an exonic enhancer in the BRI1 gene that regulates its expression and development, showing that exon-encoded regulatory information is conserved across plant species.

This study shows that plants can grow under limited water without compromising stress tolerance, but continuous cell division under stress causes DNA damage and cell death.

This study shows BZR1 promotes pluripotency and callus formation by directly regulating ARF7 and ARF19 in plants.

This study shows that BRI1 expression in multiple tissues is necessary but not sufficient for brassinosteroid signaling, suggesting cell-autonomous receptor function.

This paper identifies DELLA proteins as co-activators that recruit the Mediator subunit MED15 to facilitate transcription in land plants, showing conservation from Arabidopsis to liverworts.

This study shows Paf1C promotes transcription elongation and H2B monoubiquitination in Arabidopsis by analyzing subunit occupancy and RNAPII dynamics.

This study identifies HERK1 and ANJ as female determinants that redundantly promote pollen tube burst in synergid cells during plant fertilization.
