This study uses mycothiazole to stabilize and reveal the structure of the UQ-accessing tunnel in mitochondrial complex I, showing a hybrid conformational state.

The paper identifies a dominant virulence regulator in the tomato wilt pathogen by systematically analyzing accessory chromosomes through CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis.

The paper compares ecological communities in rice paddy fields under conventional and no-fertilizer farming practices, finding that microbial and plant taxa abundances influence rice growth and yield differences.

The paper introduces dpMIG-seq, a PCR-based method for high-throughput genotyping that improves polymorphism discovery in crop species compared to MIG-seq.

The paper identifies edQTLs in rice under field conditions and shows they can predict gene expression in different environments and complex genotypes.

The paper identifies MYB26 as a genetic factor for twisting legume pods through fine-mapping of shattering-related traits in azuki and yard-long beans.
