This study identifies aldoxime-producing enzymes in tomato and shows they regulate auxin biosynthesis and repress phenylpropanoid metabolism through a mechanism distinct from Brassicaceae plants.

The paper introduces GATOR-GC, a genome mining tool that identifies diverse gene clusters and maps their evolutionary patterns, revealing previously uncharacterized biosynthetic functions.

The paper identifies organ-specific flavonol glycosides in Solanaceae and shows that K2 is essential for male fertility while Q2 is not.
