This study uses single-nucleus transcriptomics to identify stage-specific transcriptional programs in tomato roots colonized by Rhizophagus irregularis, revealing key regulatory factors and cellular responses during arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis.

The paper uses real-time profiling to quantify effector translocation dynamics in Salmonella, revealing distinct temporal patterns and functional overlap between T3SS-1 and T3SS-2.

The paper identifies tomato UDP-glucosyltransferases that glucosylate jasmonic acid, revealing a new step in JA homeostasis regulation.

This study identifies Mj-MSP18 as a nematode effector that disrupts plant immune signaling by interfering with BSK7/8-FLS2 interactions and reprograms transcriptional responses.

This study identifies SopB-associated host proteins using Virotrap, revealing SopB's interaction with ESCRT-0 and its role in Salmonella's manipulation of host endosomal trafficking.

The paper identifies a conserved Naa40p proteoform, Naa40S, which exhibits distinct substrate specificity and subcellular localization compared to Naa40L, expanding the known substrate repertoire of Naa40p.

The paper develops a model to identify bacterial translation initiation sites using ribosome profiling data and N-terminal proteomics, revealing novel genes and re-annotating existing ones.
