The paper identifies ethylene and ROS-driven PCD, senescence, and autophagy as mechanisms for hollow stem formation in water spinach and suggests similar processes in bamboo.

The paper traces the evolutionary changes in TRPM2 channel activation mechanisms across species, identifying key stages in the transition from simple to complex ligand binding and calcium gating.

This study identifies ppGpp as a molecule present in Drosophila that regulates sleep and starvation-induced sleep loss through the mesh1 gene and Dilp2 neurons.
