Zinc and iron homeostatic interactions in a mutant lacking nicotianamine vacuolar storage and citrate xylem loading

This study examines how disrupting citrate and nicotianamine (NA) transport in Arabidopsis affects metal homeostasis, leading to oxidative stress and developmental defects.

Cis-regulatory mutations co-opting circadian clock regulation underlie naturally selected extreme trait in Arabidopsis halleri

This study identifies cis-regulatory elements in Arabidopsis halleri that co-opt the circadian clock to enhance HMA4 expression, contributing to heavy metal hyperaccumulation.

The antifungal and other bioactive properties of the volatilome of Streptomyces scabiei

This study identifies volatile compounds from Streptomyces scabiei 87-22 that inhibit fungal pathogens and promote plant growth, challenging its role as solely a plant pathogen.

The Arabidopsis RS2Z32 and RS2Z33 proteins are dynamic splicing factors whose RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain contributes to protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions

This study characterizes Arabidopsis RS2Z32 and RS2Z33 splicing factors, showing their nuclear localization, RNA binding specificity, and interactions with other SR proteins.

Zinc deficiency induces spatially distinct responses in roots and impacts ZIP12-dependent zinc homeostasis in Arabidopsis

This study shows Zn deficiency causes distinct root responses, with ZIP12 playing a key role in maintaining Zn homeostasis and root meristem function in Arabidopsis.

A multi-omics analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana root tips under Cd exposure: A role of HY5 in limiting accumulation

This study uses multi-omics approaches to analyze Cd effects on Arabidopsis root tips, showing HY5 limits Cd accumulation.

Specific redox and iron homeostasis responses in the root tip of Arabidopsis upon zinc excess

This study investigates how zinc excess affects redox and iron homeostasis in the root tip of Arabidopsis, revealing distinct gene expression and metabolic responses compared to the rest of the root.

A BAC-guided haplotype assembly pipeline increases the resolution of the virus resistance locus CMD2 in cassava

The paper improves the resolution of the CMD2 locus in cassava by using BAC-guided haplotype assembly, revealing new stress resistance proteins.
