Life-cycle- and development-related patterns of gene expression are conserved in diverse brown algae.

Genomic evidence from 15^th-century Bolivian maize reveals similarity to Central Andean maize from Peru, and pre-Inca and Inca-era breeding that enhanced maize development through selection within Andean agricultural networks.

Short heat shock factor variants prevent hyperactivation of thermotolerance through a noncanonical heat shock response, thereby balancing heat stress response and plant growth.

A distinct subset of leaf companion cells expresses high levels of the florigen gene, and the same cells also produce other possible mobile floral regulators and small proteins.

Comparative structural genomics identifies unique effector architectures and ankyrin-mediated host targeting, revealing central and conserved strategies that underpin the pathogenicity of diverse gall-forming microbial species across evolutionary lineages.

Strip cropping is a farm management practice that increases ground beetle diversity without major effects on crop yield and while being practically implementable.

Cryo-electron tomography reveals plant photosynthetic membranes with single-complex precision, supporting a simple two-domain model of membrane organization.

The ROOT & SHOOT project in the plant sciences has produced guidelines to help scientific societies organize conferences that are more inclusive and offer more supportive environments to all attendees.

A protein called RIN4 has a central role in helping legumes such as soybean and the bacteria rhizobia to develop a mutually beneficial relationship.
