This study identifies a minimal C-terminal targeting motif for plant catalases that enables their peroxisomal import in Arabidopsis.

The paper identifies AVRA13's interaction with SRF3 in barley and shows its role in manipulating iron homeostasis to promote fungal growth, while also revealing MLA's detection of AVRA13's virulence features.

This study identifies CAIR1 as a redox-regulated protein that enhances catalase activity in Arabidopsis by facilitating its peroxisomal import and subcellular localization.

This study shows how the receptor SCHENGEN3 separates root barrier formation from nutrient signaling through distinct ligand-perception states in different plant species.

The paper investigates the evolution of osmotic stress response pathways in plants by studying zygnematophytes and their homologous ABA-independent kinase systems.

The paper investigates the roles of TRB paralogs in epigenetic gene regulation by analyzing their interactions with chromatin complexes and target site preferences.

This study investigates UV-B signaling in Marchantia polymorpha, showing that core components exist but regulatory interactions have diverged compared to Arabidopsis.

The paper identifies 4/6-PP-InsP5-binding proteins in Arabidopsis using affinity-based methods and shows FHA domain proteins interact with this isomer.

This study identifies Hap1 as a virulence factor in Ustilago maydis that disrupts host carbohydrate signaling to induce hypertrophy by targeting SnRK1 and altering metabolic pathways.

This study shows that increasing phenylalanine biosynthesis boosts light-stress-driven phenylpropanoid production in Arabidopsis by enhancing PAL activity and specific metabolite accumulation under high-light conditions.

The paper uses multi-omics analysis on M. polymorpha mutants to show that FER and MRI negatively regulate ABA-related growth responses and defense networks.

This study shows CRK2 phosphorylates and sequesters QSK1 at the plasma membrane, preventing callose deposition at plasmodesmata under normal conditions, and its dephosphorylation allows QSK1 relocalization during osmotic stress.

This study identifies the emergence of the isochorismate-based salicylic acid biosynthesis pathway within the Brassicales order through evolutionary analysis of key enzymes.

This study shows that the SERK-BIR module regulates development and immunity in liverworts, suggesting its conservation from the last common ancestor of land plants.

The paper identifies QSK1 as a novel negative regulator of PRR-RBOHD complex and shows it is targeted by the bacterial effector HopF2Pto to suppress plant immunity.

The paper identifies CDKB1 and CYCB3;1 as regulators of spindle architecture in Arabidopsis, showing their role in modulating the augmin pathway through phosphorylation of EDE1.
