Specialisation of photosynthetic biochemistry in C4 chloroplasts potentiates distinct cell-specific functionality of different chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signalling pathways.

The paper shows that chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signalling pathways are cell-specific in C4 plants, correlating with photosynthetic specialisation in mesophyll and bundle sheath cells.

FMO and CYP monooxygenase families determine the metabolic flux of hydroxylated tryptamine derivatives in barley (Hordum vulgare) following pathogen infection

The paper identifies FMO and CYP monooxygenase families involved in metabolizing tryptamine derivatives in barley during pathogen infection, revealing their role in defense response.
