The paper describes a new symbiotic system called semilichens, intermediate between green biofilms and lichens, showing algae-fungal interactions and carbon transfer.

Pattern-triggered immunity in blue and white seed cultivars of Papaver somniferum

This study investigates pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) in poppy cultivars using peptide elicitors and identifies marker genes for monitoring PTI responses.

PRC2 facilitates the transition from heterotrophy to photoautotrophy during seedling emergence

This study identifies two phases of PRC2-mediated gene repression during seedling emergence, linking PRC2 activity to metabolic and developmental transitions from heterotrophy to photoautotrophy.

Removal of epicuticular wax has no effect on the rate of cuticular wax deposition, which is constant in mature cherry laurel leaves

The study shows that removing epicuticular wax does not affect the rate of cuticular wax deposition, which remains constant in mature cherry laurel leaves.
