Plasticity of the Arabidopsis leaf lipidome and proteome in response to pathogen infection and heat stress

Biotic and heat stress strongly alter the lipidome and proteome of Arabidopsis leaves, including lipid droplet proteome composition.

Non-antibiotic drugs break colonization resistance against pathogenic Gammaproteobacteria

The paper tests non-antibiotic drugs' effects on gut microbiome composition and finds some increase Salmonella abundance, potentially increasing infection risk.

SLDP and LIPA mediate lipid droplet-plasma membrane tethering in Arabidopsis thaliana

SLDP1, SLDP2, and LIPA tether lipid droplets to the plasma membrane in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings.

ultraID: a compact and efficient enzyme for proximity-dependent biotinylation in living cells

The paper introduces ultraID, a compact and efficient biotin ligase for proximity-dependent biotinylation, demonstrating its use in probing interactomes with high temporal resolution.

Multi-omics analysis of xylem sap uncovers dynamic modulation of poplar defenses by ammonium and nitrate

This study analyzes how nitrogen supply affects xylem sap composition, endophyte growth, and leaf defenses in poplar through multi-omics approaches.

Co-option of a seed-like proteome by oil-rich tubers

The paper identifies a seed-like proteome co-opted in the tubers of yellow nutsedge for desiccation tolerance and lipid storage.

A rendezvous of two second messengers: The c-di-AMP receptor protein DarB controls (p)ppGpp synthesis in Bacillus subtilis

This study identifies DarB as a c-di-AMP receptor that interacts with Rel to regulate (p)ppGpp synthesis in Bacillus subtilis under low potassium conditions.
