This study examines how drought affects carbon allocation in oil-enhanced sorghum, showing that drought overrides engineered lipid sink effects on root carbon investment and soil carbon delivery.

The paper identifies a novel fatty acid elongation pathway in Orychophragmus limprichtianus that produces keto-hydroxy fatty acids via a polyketide synthase-like mechanism.

The paper uses dynamic modeling to analyze sphingolipid biosynthesis in Arabidopsis, identifying key enzymes critical for homeostasis and cell viability.

This study identifies glucosylceramides as regulators of cellulose deposition and cellulose synthase complex motility in Arabidopsis by showing their impact on sphingolipid composition and CSC activity.

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.

The paper uses computational modeling to predict regulatory roles of ORM proteins in the plant sphingolipid pathway, identifying both repressive and activating effects on key enzymes.
