The paper identifies conserved inhibitory mechanisms in root-associated bacteria that affect both Arabidopsis thaliana and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, using a scalable algal model to study cryptic inhibition.

The paper shows that Vms1 protects mitochondrial import and homeostasis during translation stress by interacting with Msp1.

The paper presents a non-GMO platform using UV mutagenesis and screening to identify hydrogen-producing mutants in microalgae, revealing multiple physiological pathways for sustained hydrogen production.

The paper develops a Bayesian method to identify causative mutations from multiple candidate mutations in mutants, validated by genetic data and enriched for conserved functions.

The paper describes a yeast hybrid with increased growth rate and biomass yield under various conditions, but identifies genetic perturbations and regulatory disruptions associated with heterosis.
