The carbon-nitrogen metabolism gene E1OGDH1 influences maize root system architecture and nitrogen plasticity

This study identifies E1OGDH1 as a gene influencing maize root system architecture and nitrogen plasticity through genetic and functional analyses.

An intrinsically disordered region of Drosha selectively promotes miRNA biogenesis, independent of tissue-specific Microprocessor condensates

A critical role of sux cistron-mediated sucrose uptake for virulence of the rice blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae

This study identifies the sux gene cluster in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae as essential for sucrose uptake, which supports bacterial growth, motility, biofilm formation, and virulence in rice.

Brain Region-Specific Epigenomic Reorganization and Altered Cell States in Alzheimer's Disease

This study presents a single-cell multi-omic atlas of Alzheimer's disease brain regions, revealing region-specific epigenomic changes and altered cell states.

From lab to field: analyses of genome-edited bacterial blight resistant rice

The paper evaluates genome-edited rice lines resistant to bacterial blight, showing no performance defects and absence of foreign DNA in offspring.

Small DNA elements that act as both insulators and silencers in plants

The paper identifies small DNA elements in plants that function as both insulators and silencers depending on regulatory context, validated in multiple plant species.

Fat body-derived cytokine Upd2 controls disciplined migration of tracheal stem cells in Drosophila

This study identifies Upd2 as a fat body-derived cytokine that directs JAK/STAT signaling in Drosophila tracheal progenitors to maintain disciplined migration.
