Plant BCL-Domain Homologues play a conserved role in SWI/SNF complex stability

This study identifies BDH proteins as conserved subunits of plant SWI/SNF complexes, showing their role in complex stability and hypocotyl elongation through interactions with ARP4-ARP7.

The TRIPLE PHD FINGERS proteins are required for SWI/SNF complex-mediated +1 nucleosome positioning and 5' transcript length determination in Arabidopsis.

A copper switch for inducing CRISPR/Cas9-based transcriptional activation tightly regulates gene expression in Nicotiana benthamiana.

This paper develops a copper-inducible CRISPR/Cas9 system for precise gene activation in Nicotiana benthamiana, achieving high activation rates with minimal background expression.

Pilot production of SARS-CoV-2 related proteins in plants: a proof of concept for rapid repurposing of indoors farms into biomanufacturing facilities

The paper demonstrates the rapid production of SARS-CoV-2 related proteins in plants using Nicotiana benthamiana for potential biomanufacturing applications.

Strong gene activation with genome-wide specificity using a new orthogonal CRISPR/Cas9-based Programmable Transcriptional Activator.

The paper introduces a new CRISPR/Cas9-based transcriptional activator, dCasEV2.1, which shows strong activation and genome-wide specificity in plants.
