This study identifies Pcbp1's role in enhancing amino acid metabolism during the naive-to-primed pluripotency transition, linking its deficiency to embryo growth arrest and reduced protein synthesis.

The paper investigates genome size variation in two Hordeum species, finding that drought drives genome expansion through transposable element accumulation, with TE silencing as the key regulatory mechanism.

The paper identifies adaptive haplotype blocks in wild barley linked to drought and heat response genes, enriched for transposable elements, and predicts maladaptive risk due to climate change.
