This study identifies LysM receptor components and phosphoproteomic regulators of PTI in M. polymorpha, revealing conserved and novel elements of plant immune signaling.

Fillable and Unfillable Gaps in Rice Transcriptome under Field and Controlled Environments

This study identifies fillable and unfillable gaps in rice transcriptomes under field and controlled environments using a novel growth chamber.

The Phosphorylation Status of NPH3 Affects Photosensory Adaptation During the Phototropic Response

The study shows that phosphorylation of NPH3 affects its subcellular localization and the photosensory adaptation of phot1 signaling during phototropism.

Cryo-EM structure of the MgtE Mg2+ channel pore domain in Mg2+-free conditions reveals cytoplasmic pore opening

The paper determines the cryo-EM structure of MgtE in Mg2+-free conditions, revealing cytoplasmic pore opening and kink motions in TM2 and TM5 helices.

Drastic shift in flowering phenology, an instant reproductive isolation mechanism, explains the population structure of Imperata cylindrica in Japan

The paper shows that a drastic shift in flowering phenology in hybrids of Imperata cylindrica prevents backcrossing, leading to a population structure dominated by F1 hybrids.

Molecular basis for the distinct cellular functions of the Lsm1-7 and Lsm2-8 complexes

This study identifies the molecular mechanisms by which Lsm1-7 and Lsm2-8 complexes bind RNA with distinct specificity, revealing structural determinants for their unique functions.
