Dry surface biofilm formation by Candida auris facilitates persistence and tolerance to sodium hypochlorite

This paper shows that Candida auris biofilms on dry surfaces tolerate sodium hypochlorite disinfection better than planktonic cells, with upregulated ABC transporters and iron acquisition pathways contributing to this tolerance.

Cytokinin signalling regulates two-stage inflorescence arrest in Arabidopsis

This study shows cytokinin signaling regulates two-stage inflorescence arrest in Arabidopsis by delaying meristem and floral arrest through receptor expression patterns and sink organ dilution.

Duckweed roots are dispensable and are on a trajectory toward vestigiality

The paper shows duckweed roots are dispensable for growth and nutrient uptake, suggesting they are evolving toward vestigiality.

Auxin export from proximal fruits drives arrest in competent inflorescence meristems

This study shows floral arrest in Arabidopsis is a local process driven by auxin export from fruits, challenging the idea of global proliferative arrest.
