The paper develops ACE and ACE2 reporters to study hormone interactions in Arabidopsis roots, revealing spatial and temporal auxin-cytokinin-ethylene crosstalk mechanisms.

The paper develops and tests EBSn, a synthetic ethylene-inducible promoter that outperforms existing reporters in sensitivity and tissue coverage in Arabidopsis and tomato.

The paper develops a modular geminivirus-based vector system for improved protein expression and gene targeting in plants, showing that native promoters and removal of virion-sense genes enhance reporter expression without affecting replicon accumulation.

The paper investigates how SEGS-1 episomes affect cassava mosaic disease severity in different cassava cultivars, showing cultivar-dependent effects and identifying functional regions of SEGS-1.
