Turnip mosaic virus co-opts host RNA methylation machinery to orchestrate plant infection

Nicola Secco, Kashif Nawaz, Marília Almeida-Trapp…·Heribert Hirt A

This study shows that Turnip mosaic virus uses host m6A methylation machinery to enhance infection by creating a specific methylation landscape on its genome.

m6A RNA methylation attenuates thermotolerance in Arabidopsis

Kirti Shekhawat, Arsheed Hussain Sheikh, Kashif Nawaz…·Heribert Hirt A

This study shows that m6A RNA methylation reduces thermotolerance in Arabidopsis by suppressing heat-responsive genes, while its loss increases heat stress resilience through enhanced mRNA stability and chromatin modifications.
