FE DEFICIENCY-INDUCED KELCH REPEAT PROTEIN 1 (FDK1) links coumarin metabolism and iron homeostasis during alkaline iron deficiency in Arabidopsis

This study identifies FDK1 as a regulator of coumarin metabolism and iron homeostasis in Arabidopsis under alkaline iron deficiency.

NADP-malic enzyme 1 couples ABA signaling to ROS-auxin patterning to restrict Arabidopsis root growth

This study identifies NADP-ME1 as a key regulator linking ABA signaling to ROS and auxin dynamics in Arabidopsis root growth inhibition.

Metabolic profiling and genome-scale modelling uncover mechanistic drivers of microbiome stability in synthetic maize root community

This study uses metabolic profiling and genome-scale modeling to identify metabolic mechanisms that maintain stability in a synthetic maize root microbiome.

A hidden T-DNA-linked inversion-duplication causes a pronounced light-dependent phenotype in Arabidopsis

The paper identifies a T-DNA-linked inversion-duplication in Arabidopsis that enhances gene expression and exacerbates a light-dependent phenotype in mdh1xme2 mutants.

Quantification of Phytohormones in Plants - Optimized Extraction, Separation and Detection

The paper develops an optimized method for quantifying phytohormones in plants by improving extraction, HPLC separation, and mass spectrometry detection.

PPD-H1 Improves Stress Resistance and Energy Metabolism to Boost Spike Fertility under High Ambient Temperatures

This study shows that Ppd-H1 in barley improves stress resistance and energy metabolism, stabilizing reproductive development and grain set under high ambient temperatures.

Drought resistance and improved yield result from modified malate metabolism in guard and vascular companion cells

This study shows that modifying malate metabolism in specific plant cells improves drought resistance without reducing yield.
