This study identifies a plant biosynthetic pathway in quinoa that produces the insect molting hormone 20E through a seven-gene cluster involving FAH and 2OGD enzymes.

The paper identifies context-dependent factors affecting CRISPR-Cas9 editing efficiency across species using endogenous editing data and shows that repair outcomes are conserved.

Spec2Class is a deep learning tool that accurately classifies plant secondary metabolites from LC-MS/MS spectra, achieving 93% accuracy with a prediction threshold.

This study shows that water deficiency inhibits GA biosynthesis and activates GA deactivation in tomato, leading to stomatal closure and reduced canopy growth to avoid drought.
