DELLA Proteins Recruit the Mediator Complex Subunit MED15 to Co-activate Transcription in Land Plants

This paper identifies DELLA proteins as co-activators that recruit the Mediator subunit MED15 to facilitate transcription in land plants, showing conservation from Arabidopsis to liverworts.

PICLN modulates alternative splicing and ensures adaptation to light and temperature changes in plants

This study shows PICLN modulates alternative splicing and helps plants adapt to light and temperature changes by interacting with the methylosome complex and GEMIN2.

Evolutionary PTEN Gene Divergence Underpins the Remodeling of Plant Vacuolar Compartments

The paper shows that evolutionary divergence in PTEN genes is critical for vacuolar compartment remodeling in plants, particularly in embryonic and xylem cells.

A molecular framework for proximal secondary vein branching in the Arabidopsis thaliana embryo

This study identifies two distinct mechanisms for secondary vein branching in Arabidopsis thaliana embryos, revealing a genetic network that regulates vascular pattern formation.

A genetic approach to dissect the role of prefoldins in Arabidopsis

This study uses Arabidopsis mutants to determine the role of prefoldin complex in growth, development, and environmental responses, finding that the complex is required for flowering delay, seed germination, and salt stress response, while some functions are redundant.

COP1 destabilizes DELLA proteins in Arabidopsis

This paper shows that COP1 destabilizes DELLA proteins in Arabidopsis through ubiquitination, independent of gibberellin signaling, and this process is relevant for growth responses to shade and warm temperature.
