This study identifies RS2Z36 as a splicing regulator that controls ovary patterning and fruit growth in tomato by affecting cell expansion and alternative splicing.

The paper investigates HSP90-mediated stress resilience in Arabidopsis thaliana male gametophyte stages, showing stage-specific heat stress responses and defects in late-stage development under heat stress.

This study identifies RS2Z35 and RS2Z36 as plant-specific splicing factors that regulate HSFA2 intron splicing and thermotolerance in tomato under heat stress.
