A new group of LysM-RLKs involved in symbiotic signal perception and arbuscular mycorrhiza establishment

The paper identifies a new group of LysM-RLK receptors that bind both LCO and CO, playing a complementary role with LYR-IA receptors in arbuscular mycorrhiza formation.

BdNRT2A and BdNRT3.2 are the major components of the High-Affinity nitrate Transport System in Brachypodium distachyon

This study identifies BdNRT2A and BdNRT3.2 as the key components of the high-affinity nitrate transport system in Brachypodium, essential for nitrate uptake under low nitrogen conditions.

Structural and Functional Analyses Explain Pea KAI2 Receptor Diversity and Reveal Stereoselective Catalysis During Signal Perception

The paper analyzes the structural and functional diversity of pea KAI2 receptors, revealing stereoselective catalysis and ligand perception differences between KAI2A and KAI2B.

Study of the genetic and phenotypic variation among wild and cultivated clary sages provides interesting avenues for breeding programs of a perfume, medicinal and aromatic plant

This study examines genetic and phenotypic variation in wild and cultivated clary sage to inform breeding programs for improved traits.

Evidence for dosage compensation in Coccinia grandis, a plant with a highly heteromorphic XY system

The paper identifies sex-linked genes in Coccinia grandis and finds evidence of dosage compensation through X-Y divergence and gene expression patterns.

COMPOSITUM 1 (COM1) contributes to the architectural simplification of barley inflorescence via meristem identity signals

This study identifies COM1 as a gene regulating inflorescence shape in barley by controlling meristem identity signals, with implications for evolution and breeding.

Convergent recruitment of life cycle regulators to direct sporophyte development in two eukaryotic supergroups

This study shows that TALE HD TFs regulate sporophyte development in two eukaryotic supergroups, indicating an ancient origin of this regulatory system.
