Root growth promotion by Penicillium melinii: mechanistic insights and agricultural applications

This study shows Penicillium melinii promotes root growth and plant biomass across species and environments, enhancing yield in tomato field trials through auxin signaling and subtle molecular interactions.

DNA Methylation Dynamics Reveal Unique Plant Responses and Transcriptional Reprogramming to Combined Heat and Phosphate Deficiency Stress

The paper examines DNA methylation changes in Arabidopsis under heat, phosphate deficiency, and combined stress, revealing distinct epigenetic responses and their regulatory roles.

ROOT PATTERNING AND REGENERATION ARE MEDIATED BY THE QUIESCENT CENTER AND INVOLVE BLUEJAY, JACKDAW AND SCARECROW REGULATION OF VASCULATURE FACTORS

This study identifies BLJ, JKD, and SCR transcription factors as regulators of quiescent center function and vascular patterning in plant roots, with CBF3 mediating some of their effects.
