Cystinosin/Ers1 functions in redox homeostasis in the early secretory pathway

This study identifies a conserved role of cystinosin/Ers1 in the early secretory pathway, revealing new insights into cystinosis pathology beyond lysosomal cystine transport.

Uncoupling the Effects of Highland Maize Chromosomal Inversion Inv4m from Leaf Phosphorus Deficiency Responses

This study investigates the role of maize inversion Inv4m in adaptation to phosphorus-deficient soils and finds that phosphorus deficiency does not drive its adaptive value.

Metagenomics-enabled proteomics reveals how AMF and PSB co-inoculation reshapes tomato rhizosphere dynamics across growth stages

The paper investigates how co-inoculation with AMF and PSB affects tomato rhizosphere dynamics across growth stages using metagenome-informed metaproteomics.

Exogenous Hormone Treatments Reveal Species-Specific Regulation of Individual Components of Root Architecture and Salt Ion Accumulation in Cultivated and Wild Tomatoes

The paper investigates how exogenous hormone treatments affect root architecture and salt ion accumulation in tomato species under stress, revealing species-specific hormonal responses.

Natural variation in salt-induced changes in root:shoot ratio reveals SR3G as a negative regulator of root suberization and salt resilience in Arabidopsis

Ethylene and ROS Signaling Are Key Regulators of Lateral Root Development under Salt Stress in Tomato

This study identifies genes regulating lateral root development in tomato under salt stress, revealing ethylene and ROS signaling as key factors.

Low additive genetic variation in a trait under selection in domesticated rice

The paper estimates additive genetic variation in rice root growth under selection and finds low marker heritability and no associated loci in a tropical japonica population.
