Nanoclustering of a plant transcription factor enables strong yet specific DNA binding

This study shows that MpARF2 forms nanoclusters that enable high-affinity, switch-like, and sequence-specific DNA binding, distinct from monomeric or condensate-based mechanisms.

The MpANT-auxin loop modulates Marchantia polymorpha development

This study identifies a feedforward regulatory loop involving auxin, MpANT, and MpPIN1 that regulates meristem maintenance and cell proliferation in Marchantia polymorpha.

Evolutionary Origins and Functional Diversification of Auxin Response Factors

This study investigates the evolutionary origins and functional diversification of Auxin Response Factors (ARFs) through in silico and in vivo analyses, revealing their shared origin and evolutionary trajectory.

Analysis of auxin responses in the fern Ceratopteris richardii identifies tissue ontogeny as a major determinant for response properties

This study compares auxin responses in the gametophyte and sporophyte of the fern Ceratopteris richardii, finding that ontogeny, not phylogeny, determines auxin response properties.
