The paper examines conservation and divergence within the Arabidopsis TPL/TPR corepressor family using genetics, transcriptomics, and synthetic assays, revealing subtype-specific functions and regulatory roles.

The paper uses GAHACRs to modulate feedback in GA biosynthesis, revealing connections between GA signaling, circadian clock, and CO2 levels.

The paper develops a genetic switch system to study the essential gene MED21 in Arabidopsis by inducibly ablating its expression in non-essential tissues and enabling post-embryonic analysis.

The paper identifies TPL's role in nucleating the transcriptional preinitiation complex in yeast and plants through genetic and physical interaction studies.

ViVa is a webtool that enables researchers to mine natural variation from genomic data, demonstrating its utility in analyzing the auxin signaling pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana.
