The paper shows that chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signalling pathways are cell-specific in C4 plants, correlating with photosynthetic specialisation in mesophyll and bundle sheath cells.

The paper introduces synthetic tools to redirect and chemically control the Arg/N-degron pathway by modifying PRT1's substrate recognition and using nanobodies to induce ubiquitination.

The paper identifies a small molecule inhibitor of AtSAL1, demonstrating its ability to modulate PAP signaling and enhance stress tolerance in Arabidopsis without genetic pleiotropy.

This study shows that PGR5 enables efficient C4 photosynthesis under fluctuating light by supporting proton motive force and energy-dependent non-photochemical quenching.

This study shows that modifying specific SAL genes in wheat improves yield and water productivity under field conditions while enhancing stress resilience.

This study identifies 225 redox-active nuclear proteins in Arabidopsis, including GCN5, modified by sulfenylation under oxidative stress, revealing their functional impact on protein interactions.
