Rice JASMONIC ACID OXIDASES (OsJAO) control resting jasmonate metabolism to promote development and repress basal immune responses

This study identifies rice JASMONIC ACID OXIDASES (OsJAO) as regulators of jasmonate metabolism, promoting growth and repressing basal immune responses.

Evolutionary metabolomics of specialized metabolism diversification in the genus Nicotiana highlights allopolyploidy-mediated innovations in N-acylnornicotine metabolism

The paper uses computational metabolomics to study specialized metabolism diversification in Nicotiana species, revealing allopolyploidy-driven innovations in N-acylnornicotine metabolism.

Both social environment and chronological age shape the physiology of ant workers.

This study shows that social role and age independently shape the physiology of ant workers, with age-related differences in proteome and metabolome primarily linked to subcaste.

Lysine 27 of histone H3.3 is a fine modulator of developmental gene expression and stands as an epigenetic checkpoint for lignin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis

This study expresses a non-modifiable H3K27 variant in Arabidopsis to investigate its role in development and lignin biosynthesis, revealing new phenotypes and epigenetic regulation.

Unravelling the puzzle of anthranoids metabolism in living plant cells using spectral imaging coupled to mass spectrometry

The paper develops a strategy combining spectral imaging, confocal microscopy, and mass spectrometry to study anthranoid metabolism in plant cells and identify their fluorescent properties and metabolic transformations.
