Comprehensive Model of Cell-to-Cell Cytokinin Transport Reveals A Specific Mode of Cytokinin Riboside Influx

The paper identifies a specific membrane transport system for cytokinin ribosides and shows its impact on shoot development.

ER-located PIN5 transporter generates potent auxin sinks driven by the IAA decarboxylation pathway

The paper shows that AtPIN5 in tobacco cells induces PCD and reveals its role in the auxin decarboxylation pathway.

Chitosan stimulates root hair callose deposition and inhibits root hair growth

This study shows chitosan induces callose deposition and slows root hair growth in Arabidopsis, with distinct responses at low and high concentrations, and identifies conserved mechanisms in related plant structures.

Study of auxin metabolism using stable isotope labeling and LCMS; evidence for in planta auxin decarboxylation pathway.

This study identifies an in planta auxin decarboxylation pathway using stable isotope labeling and LCMS in tobacco BY-2 cells and multiple plant species.

Auxin coreceptor IAA17/AXR3 controls cell elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana root by modulation of auxin and gibberellin perception

This study shows that AXR3-1 modulates auxin and gibberellin perception to control cell elongation in Arabidopsis root, leading to altered growth and homeostasis.

Combination drug screen targeting glioblastoma core vulnerabilities reveals pharmacological synergisms

This study identifies synergistic drug combinations for glioblastoma by screening core vulnerabilities and validating them in preclinical models.

Fusion-negative Rhabdomyosarcoma 3D-organoids as an innovative model to predict resistance to cell death inducers

The paper develops a 3D-organoid model of fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma to predict resistance to cell death inducers using omics data.

RaPiD-chamber: Easy to self-assemble live-imaging chamber with adjustable LEDs allows to track small differences in dynamic plant movement adaptation on tissue level

The paper introduces RaPiD-chamber, a self-assembled live-imaging tool for tracking plant growth and movement, and demonstrates its use in studying Arabidopsis hypocotyl elongation and light response.

A role of DAO1 in oxidation of IAA amino acid conjugates revealed through metabolite, high throughput transcript and protein level analysis.

The paper identifies DAO1's role in oxidizing IAA amino acid conjugates through metabolite, transcript, and protein analysis in tobacco cells.

Formation of flavone-based wooly fibres by glandular trichomes of Dionysia tapetodes.

The paper investigates the formation of wooly fibres in Dionysia tapetodes, showing they are composed of flavone derivatives and extruded through specific cell membrane sites.

Comprehensive skin microbiome analysis reveals the uniqueness of human-associated microbial communities among the class Mammalia

This study analyzes the skin microbiome of 177 non-human mammals and 20 humans, finding human skin is less diverse and distinct from other mammalian orders.
