Assembly, comparative analysis, and utilization of a single haplotype reference genome for soybean

This paper presents an updated soybean genome assembly (Wm82.a6) and compares it with other assemblies and Fiskeby III, revealing genomic heterogeneity and polymorphisms.

The Rhizobial effector NopT targets Nod factor receptors to regulate symbiosis in Lotus japonicus

The paper shows that the rhizobial effector NopT interacts with Nod factor receptors NFR1 and NFR5 in Lotus japonicus to regulate symbiosis by cleaving NFR5 and being counteracted by NFR1 phosphorylation.

Soybean RIN4 represents a mechanistic link between plant immune and symbiotic signaling

This paper identifies RIN4 phosphorylation as a critical link between plant immune and symbiotic signaling in soybean, showing its necessity for nodulation and compatibility with rhizobia.

The mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase, ILK5, regulates plant purinergic receptor-mediated, innate immunity

This study identifies ILK5 as a downstream substrate of P2K1 kinase that mediates MAPK cascade activation in Arabidopsis, enhancing innate immunity through phosphorylation of MPK3/6.

Extracellular ATP plays an important role in systemic wound response activation

The paper shows extracellular ATP triggers ROS waves and systemic transcriptomic responses during wounding via the purinoreceptor kinase P2K.

Large-scale miRNA-Target Data Analysis to Discover miRNA Co-regulation Network of Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Soybeans

The paper uses computational methods to predict miRNA-target regulatory modules in soybeans under abiotic stress and identifies stress-related modules with gene ontology enrichment.

Genome-wide Association Studies Reveal Important Candidate Genes for the Bacillus pumilus TUAT-1-Arabidopsis thaliana Interaction

This study uses GWAS to identify candidate genes in Arabidopsis thaliana associated with root architecture changes in response to Bacillus pumilus TUAT-1 inoculation.

S-Acylation of plant immune receptors mediates immune signaling in plasma membrane nanodomains

This study shows that S-acylation of plant immune receptors by PAT5 and PAT9 regulates their localization and signaling in plasma membrane nanodomains, affecting immune responses.

Profiling the E. coli Membrane Interactome Captured in Peptidisc Libraries

This paper uses peptidisc libraries and PCP to profile E. coli membrane interactomes, identifying novel interactions not detectable with detergent-based methods.
