Cell-specialized chloroplast signaling orchestrates photosynthetic and extracellular reactive oxygen species for stress responses

This study identifies how chloroplast retrograde signals like PAP coordinate ROS production in guard cells to regulate stomatal closure during stress.

Molecular Evolution and Interaction of 14-3-3 Proteins with H+-ATPases in Plant Abiotic Stresses

This paper reviews the roles of 14-3-3 proteins and H+-ATPases in plant abiotic stress responses and analyzes their molecular evolution across species.

LDHA maintains the growth and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells and promotes neointima formation via crosstalk between K5 crotonylation and K76 mono-ubiquitination

This study identifies how LDHA regulates VSMC growth and migration through K5 crotonylation and K76 mono-ubiquitination, promoting neointima formation in injured arteries.

Intrinsic water use efficiency depends on stomatal aperture rather than stomatal density in C3 and C4 grasses grown at glacial CO2 and low light

The paper examines how stomatal aperture, not density, influences intrinsic water use efficiency in C3 and C4 grasses under glacial CO2 and low light conditions.

Precise exogenous insertion and sequence replacements in poplar by simultaneous HDR overexpression and NHEJ suppression using CRISPR-Cas9

This paper improves HDR efficiency for gene knock-in in poplar by combining XRCC4 silencing with CtIP and MRE11 overexpression, achieving higher knock-in rates and fewer InDels.

Nuclear export of chimeric mRNAs depends on an lncRNA-triggered autoregulatory loop

This study shows that MALAT1 regulates chimeric mRNA export via an m6A-dependent mechanism, influencing myeloid progenitor cell differentiation in hematopoiesis.
