This study identifies EpMAF3 and EpbZIP67 as transcription factors repressed by phytoplasma infection in poinsettia, which are linked to shoot branching suppression, as shown by enhanced branching in Arabidopsis mutants.

SAFE-h2 is a tool that filters SNPs to improve heritability estimation by removing those with negative contributions, revealing phenotypic variance from both additive and non-additive allelic effects.

This paper provides guidance for reducing bias in case-control GWAS by addressing genetic relatedness, allelic interactions, and control genotype biases, introducing the AlleliC-GWAS tool.

The paper identifies a novel L-lysine exporter from cow gut microbiome metagenomic fragments, improving L-lysine tolerance and productivity in bacterial hosts.
