Signaling by a tyrosine-sulfated peptide balances growth and osmotic stress response in rice

Overexpressing rice peptide OsPSY8 lengthens roots but lowers osmotic stress survival, while knockout raises it; OsWRKY24 represses the OsPSY8 promoter and is induced by PEG.

Liver size is predetermined in the neonate by adding lobules at the periphery

The paper identifies that neonatal vascularization, specifically angiogenesis in the hepatic vein periphery, determines adult liver size in mice by adding lobules.

Combining Directed Evolution with Machine Learning Enables Accurate Genotype-to-Phenotype Predictions

The paper combines directed evolution with a protein language model to predict genotype-to-phenotype relationships in rice immune receptors, identifying variants with improved ligand binding.

Directed evolution of a plant immune receptor for broad spectrum recognition of pathogen effectors

This study uses directed evolution to engineer a plant immune receptor to recognize diverse pathogen effectors, enhancing broad-spectrum resistance in crops.
