The paper identifies ancestral MBW transcriptional complexes in liverworts, showing their role in flavonoid pathway regulation and oil body maturation, and suggests a pattern of evolutionary duplication and co-option in land plants.

The paper identifies a continuous role of TLWD scaffold proteins in Arabidopsis circadian oscillators, showing their involvement in both transcriptional activation and repression through interactions with PRR family repressors.

The paper measures mechanical properties of plant cuticle layers during growth to understand how they influence surface buckling patterns in Hibiscus trionum flower petals.

This study shows that HtDCR-like1 regulates cuticle buckling in Hibiscus trionum by altering cuticle chemistry and mechanical properties, leading to impaired structural color formation.
