Optimization of energy production and central carbon metabolism in a non-respiring eukaryote

This study compares metabolic strategies in two fission yeasts, showing how S. japonicus optimizes central carbon metabolism through glycerol-3-phosphate synthesis, a bifurcated TCA cycle, and the pentose phosphate pathway for higher ATP production.

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.
