Young defense metabolites are often believed to be solely outputs but evidence suggests that they can regulate ancient signaling pathways.

Nucleosomes and linker histones block eukaryotic cytosine methylation.

The horizontal acquisition of virulence plasmids is potentiated by production practices in plant nurseries and is sufficient to transition Rhodococcus from being beneficial to being pathogenic.

The acquisition of a virulence plasmid is sufficient to turn a beneficial strain of Rhodococcus bacteria into a pathogen.

A mutant allele encoding a deregulated subunit of an ion channel tetramer revealed a mechanistic connection between protein heteromerization and quantitative genetic behavior.

HEC transcription factors control the timing of cell fate transitions in a dynamic stem cell system, allowing plants to adapt their developmental program to diverse environments.

Comparative genetics between distant plant species shows that for the PIN auxin transport proteins differential membrane and tissue-level accumulation, transport activity, and interaction result in different functional properties in the shoot post transcription.

Rice dwarf virus Pns11 protein increases rice susceptibility to virus infection by enhancing OsSAMS1 enzymatic activity and ethylene production.

Coupled physiology and gene expression, measured over a two-day time course, reveals specific time-of-day responses to the early stages of drought in Brassica rapa.

The influence of time on the drought response of Brassica rapa, an agriculturally important species of plant, has been clarified.
