This study identifies NOV as a conserved protein involved in plant-virus interactions, showing its role in defense responses and revealing homologs in animals.

The paper profiles the proteome of plant Cajal bodies, revealing a distinct kingdom-specific composition compared to animal CBs.

This study identifies NUP50a as a host factor that interacts with geminivirus C4 proteins and is required for efficient infection.

This study identifies plant host factors involved in geminiviral DNA replication using proximity labeling and functional assays, revealing the selective repurposing of eukaryotic replication machinery.

This study compares the C4 proteins of two okra-infecting geminiviruses, showing they have distinct localization but similar functions in suppressing RNA silencing and causing developmental issues.

This study shows that geminiviral components are associated with extracellular vesicles in infected plants, which are infectious and may facilitate viral movement and immune modulation.

This study shows that KL and SL signaling modulate plant immune responses and pathogen resistance, with KL playing a predominant role in regulating pattern-triggered immunity.

This study identifies an ancient cis-element, the ADC-box, that represses translation of arginine decarboxylase to regulate polyamine biosynthesis and stress responses in plants.

This study shows that geminivirus TYLCV uses alternative splicing to generate Rep isoforms with distinct functions in viral replication and gene regulation.

This study shows that plant vesicle trafficking genes have dual roles in geminiviral infection, with some promoting and others restricting systemic spread.

The paper identifies widespread RNA splicing in a plant DNA virus, showing it enhances viral infectivity by expanding the proteome.

This study identifies FaRIF's transcriptional targets and interactors in strawberry ripening using ChIP-seq and proximity labeling, revealing its role in hormone signaling, metabolism, and cell wall remodeling.

The paper introduces CuBe, a copper-regulated plant-based expression system for scalable recombinant protein production, demonstrating high eGFP and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody expression in Nicotiana benthamiana.
