The paper analyzes root gene regulatory networks in Arabidopsis thaliana to identify roles of defense hormones and secondary metabolites in disease-suppressive soil establishment.

This study investigates the role of two GAME genes in tomatine biosynthesis and fungal defense in tomato, finding that SlGAME4 affects glycoalkaloid synthesis and susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea.

This study shows that warm temperature and mild water stress together promote root elongation in plants, involving SnRK2.2/SnRK2.3 and COP1 in regulating HY5 stability.

This study identifies different physiological and transcriptomic responses in potato cultivars under salt stress, revealing that acclimation ability, not initial root protection, determines long-term resilience.

This study shows that ABA signaling suppresses sodium-specific gene responses in Arabidopsis roots and protects against salt-induced cellular damage.

This study shows that CYP79B2 and CYP79B3 regulate lateral root density under salt stress by producing the auxin precursor indole-3-acetonitrile (IAN).

The paper identifies three mutations in cannabinoid oxidocyclases that affect enzyme activity and product specificity, revealing a key region for catalytic function.
