This study shows that tension in the neck linker of kinesin-1 suppresses premature binding of the detached head, explaining coordinated stepping through allosteric regulation.

The paper identifies two conserved serine residues in MpRBOHB whose phosphorylation enhances Ca2+ binding affinity, thereby activating chitin-triggered ROS production in liverwort.

The paper identifies BEH3 as a stabilizer in Arabidopsis secondary vascular development through coexpression network analysis and mathematical modeling.

This study identifies triazole urea compounds that covalently bind to strigolactone receptors, inhibiting their function and providing insights into SL signaling mechanisms.
