Metabolically engineered oilcane reshapes rhizosphere microbial guilds while preserving broad functional capacity

This study shows that metabolically engineered oilcane alters rhizosphere microbial communities while maintaining overall functional capacity in greenhouse and field settings.

Trehalose 6-phosphate activates Target of Rapamycin in plants

This study identifies trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) as a key signal linking carbon availability to TOR activity in plants by suppressing SnRK1.

Substrate binding and channeling allosterically modulate the interactions within the AlkB-AlkG electron transfer complex

This study investigates the dynamics and interactions of the AlkB-AlkG electron transfer complex using computational methods, revealing how substrate binding and channeling modulate allosteric effects and electron transfer efficiency.

Enhancing lipid production in plant cells through high-throughput genome editing and phenotyping via a scalable automated pipeline

Data-Driven Modeling and Analysis of Fatty Acid Desaturase in Plants

The paper models and analyzes plant fatty acid desaturases using homology modeling, docking, and molecular dynamics to study their structure and function.

A consensus-based ensemble approach to improve transcriptome assembly

The paper introduces ConSemble, a consensus-based ensemble method for transcriptome assembly that improves accuracy by combining multiple assemblers, outperforming individual methods in both de novo and genome-guided scenarios.
