This study shows ppGpp signaling in Arabidopsis thaliana modulates immune outcomes by controlling defense gene expression, rather than just scaling immune response magnitude.

The paper shows alternative splicing generates regulatory lncRNAs from protein-coding genes in Arabidopsis, forming autoregulatory RNA-protein feedback loops under dark conditions.

This study identifies At-RS31 as a plant-specific splicing factor that regulates alternative splicing and integrates TOR and ABA signaling pathways through its binding targets and interactions with other splicing factors.
