The paper introduces pamiR, a resource for plastid-specific gene silencing in plants, and demonstrates its use in identifying gene family members involved in plant physiology.

This study identifies how specific point mutations in cyanobacteria enhance high-light tolerance through coordinated transcriptional and post-transcriptional responses.

This study shows that the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) associates with mtDNA-containing assemblies in yeast, supporting mitochondrial translation through an RNA-dependent mechanism.

The paper evaluates a rapid vesicle extraction method for clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, showing its effectiveness but also highlighting challenges with contaminant removal.

This study identifies Mrx6's role in regulating mtDNA copy number through its interaction with Pim1 and Mam33, revealing a mechanism involving substrate specificity and protein stability.

The paper identifies Pth2 as a key player in mitoRQC by modulating protein translocation and shows that delayed translocation protects mitochondria from toxic CAT-tailed proteins.

This study investigates the role of CLRP23 in cold acclimation of Arabidopsis thaliana, showing its involvement in lipid remodeling and integration of membrane and metabolic responses.

This study identifies mutations that enhance high-light tolerance in Synechocystis by increasing NDH proteins and reducing specific phycobilisome linker proteins.

This study investigates the evolutionary origins of chloroplast outer envelope proteins using sequence and structure analyses, revealing dynamic evolutionary trajectories and structural adaptations.

This study shows that overexpression of PpFLOT in moss reduces salt tolerance and alters growth, with effects linked to ROS and ion signaling.

This study shows plant cells tolerate high rates of organellar mistranslation, with plastids being more lenient than mitochondria, and reveals differences in stress responses.

This study investigates the role of flavonoid metabolism in plant cold acclimation, showing distinct effects on metabolism and protein homeostasis in early and late stages.

The paper investigates plant metabolic responses to elevated CO2 using multi-omics analysis, revealing novel interactions in cytosolic and mitochondrial metabolism across mutants.

This study identifies UPP as a key regulator of chloroplast proteostasis in Arabidopsis, affecting PetC stability and photosynthetic function under high light conditions.
