Temperature-dependent polar lignification of a seed coat suberin layer promoting dormancy in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study identifies a cold-induced polar lignification and suberization barrier in Arabidopsis seed coats that enhances dormancy by reducing permeability.

Inositol pyrophosphate catabolism by three families of phosphatases controls plant growth and development

This study identifies three phosphatase families involved in inositol pyrophosphate catabolism in plants, showing their roles in growth, development, and nutrient signaling.

Structural and functional insight into the plant unique multimodular triphosphosphate tunnel metalloenzymes of Arabidopsis thaliana

This study characterizes the structural and functional properties of two multimodular triphosphosphate tunnel metalloenzymes in Arabidopsis thaliana, revealing their roles in developmental transitions.

Tannic cell walls form a continuous apoplastic barrier sustaining Arabidopsis seed coat biophysical properties

The paper identifies tannic cell walls in Arabidopsis seed coats as a continuous barrier that regulates permeability and supports seed viability and dormancy.

A genetically validated approach to detect inorganic polyphosphates in plants.

The paper develops a method to detect inorganic polyphosphates in plants using a dye and binding domain, finding that higher plants lack large polyP stores.
