This study shows that the root endophyte Pseudomonas argentinensis SA190 enhances drought tolerance in Arabidopsis by supplying glutathione, improving redox balance.

The paper identifies a conserved glycoside hydrolase family in leaf rust fungi that interacts with barley LecRKs to mediate non-host resistance, showing functional conservation across cereal species.

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

This study identifies USP1 as a chaperone for HSFA2 that is essential for thermopriming in Arabidopsis by maintaining heat stress memory gene expression.

This study shows that mangrove endophytes enhance rice yield and salt tolerance while shortening its life cycle.

The paper introduces the Darwin21 Genome Database, a curated repository of whole-genome sequences of endophytic bacteria from desert plants, supporting research on microbial ecology and plant resilience.

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.

This study identifies AtG3BP1 phosphorylation by MAPKs as a regulator of plant immunity in Arabidopsis, showing it promotes susceptibility, suppresses ROS, and stabilizes the protein to sustain immune signaling.

This study identifies and characterizes oxalotrophic bacteria in desert and dryland environments, revealing key enzymes and genetic variations affecting oxalate metabolism.

This study identifies WLIM2A as a MAPK target involved in plant immunity, showing its role in regulating stomatal responses and resistance to pathogens.

The paper shows that glucose from symbiotic algae supports nitrogen assimilation in Aiptasia, enabling survival in nutrient-poor environments.
