The plant specific Histone Lysine Demethylase MtPKDM9B mediates the root nodule symbiosis by controlling H3K27me3 levels and expression of symbiotic genes

This study identifies MtPKDM9B, a histone demethylase, as essential for root nodule symbiosis by modulating H3K27me3 levels and symbiotic gene expression in Medicago truncatula.

The subunit 3 of the SUPERKILLER (SKI) complex mediates miR172-directed cleavage of Nodule Number Control 1 (NNC1) to modulate nodulation in Medicago truncatula

The paper shows that MtSKI3 mediates miR172 cleavage of MtNNC1, regulating nodulation in Medicago truncatula by affecting nodule number and bacterial infection.

Innovation, conservation and repurposing of gene function in plant root cell type development

The paper profiles translatomes and chromatin accessibility in plant root cell types to reveal gene function innovation, conservation, and repurposing across species.
