This study identifies a metabolite, glucuronyl-mannose, that confers salt tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana from Cape Verde Islands, evolving independently in two islands through mutations in the same gene.

The paper identifies two additional genes involved in a pollen killer system in Arabidopsis thaliana using CRISPR-Cas9 mutants and confirms structural variation across global populations.

This study identifies orf117Sha as the cause of gametophytic CMS in Arabidopsis, showing pollen death is grain-autonomous and preceded by mitochondrial swelling and developmental desynchronization.

The paper identifies an antidote gene in Arabidopsis thaliana that counteracts a pollen killer allele, revealing its structure and evolutionary dynamics.
