Genetic, biochemical, and bioinformatic analyses reveal how expanding metabolic repertoire interferes with fundamental processes like protein synthesis inside cells and the role of D-aminoacyl-tRNA deacylase2 in protecting these processes during terrestrialisation.

Computational analyses, for the first time in plants, reveal how male-biased genes evolve faster than female-biased and unbiased genes.

The transfer RNA thiolation modification is required for the efficient translation of the master immune regulator NPR1 in plants.

New archaeobotanical data from Negev Highland rubbish middens demonstrate that crop diversity in the Southern Levant expanded more during the first millennium CE than in any earlier period, yet with minimal consequences for consumption and production patterns.

Increased primary root growth in pearl millet is correlated with early water stress tolerance, an important constraint in agrosystems in the Sahel, and is associated with the regulation of root cell elongation by a glutaredoxin.

Biochemical and in vivo physiology imaging reveal that plant pathogens actively imbalance the apoplastic eAdo/eATP levels as a virulence mechanism.

Polymorphic residues of a vacuolar Ca²⁺ sensor site in TPC1 channels differ between species of Brassicacea and Fabaceae and lead to distinct TPC1 gating behavior.

Oxidative modification of Tryptophan residues in the reaction center protein D1 may be a key to drive the Photosystem II repair, likely enhancing accessibility of FtsH protease to D1.

Mutant and gene expression analyses shows that phytohormones and mobile transcription factors interact to coordinate organ formation with stem cell maintenance in the plant shoot meristem.
