Adverse structural and mechanical remodelling of main pulmonary artery in experimental pulmonary arterial hypertension is associated with impaired right ventricle-pulmonary artery coupling and function

This study examines structural and mechanical changes in the main pulmonary artery in pulmonary arterial hypertension and links them to impaired right ventricular function and coupling.

Discovery of an isoflavone oxidative catabolic pathway in legume root microbiota

The paper identifies an oxidative isoflavone catabolic pathway in legume root microbiota, revealing its role in detoxifying isoflavones and shaping microbiota interactions.

Apoplast-localized β-Glucosidase Elevates Isoflavone Accumulation in the Soybean Rhizosphere

This study shows that apoplast-localized β-glucosidase (ICHG) increases isoflavone accumulation in the soybean rhizosphere but is not required for plant-microbe interactions.

Impact of freeze-thaw-induced pit aspiration on stem water transport in a subalpine conifer (Abies veitchii)

This study investigates how freeze-thaw cycles induce pit aspiration and embolism in subalpine conifers, affecting stem water transport under drought conditions.

Excretion of triacylglycerol as a matrix lipid facilitating apoplastic accumulation of a lipophilic metabolite shikonin.

The paper investigates how plants secrete lipophilic metabolites like shikonin by excreting triacylglycerol as a matrix lipid, facilitating apoplastic accumulation.

Species-specific assembly of root-associated bacterial microbiota mediated by a combination of plant specialized metabolites

The paper shows that tobacco-specific PSMs mediate the enrichment of Arthrobacter in the tobacco endosphere through bacterial catabolism.

Diurnal metabolic regulation of isoflavones and soyasaponins in soybean roots

This study investigates diurnal regulation of isoflavone and soyasaponin biosynthesis and secretion in soybean roots using transcriptome and metabolite analysis.
