Chloroplast cold-resistance is mediated by the acidic domain of the RNA binding protein CP31A

Cold exposure increases RNA binding of CP31A, which mediates cold resistance in Arabidopsis through its acidic domain.

Metabolic labeling of RNAs uncovers hidden features and dynamics of the Arabidopsis thaliana transcriptome

This study uses 5-EU metabolic labeling in Arabidopsis to analyze nascent and unstable RNAs, revealing shorter RNA half-lives than previously reported with chemical inhibitors.
