Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) establishes transcriptional repression through trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3), a modification essential for developmental patterning. Here, we d...

Chloroplasts import thousands of nucleus-encoded proteins via multiprotein translocons. The authors elucidate the assembly and molecular architecture of the outer-membrane TOC translocon (the import “...

Final political hurdle overcome, easing regulation of certain modified plants

In plants, cell wall-plasma membrane attachments become evident upon severe water loss. These attachments depend on cellulose synthase complexes and remorins and mediate resilience under water stress.

Biology and Applications of Plant Immune Receptors

Interview with Miltos Tsiantis, who studies plant development and is a Director at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne.

Background Open chromatin regions host DNA regulatory motifs that are accessible to transcription factors and the transcriptional machinery. In Arabidopsis, responses to light are heavily regulated at...

Hedges are important in academic writing since they indicate uncertainty and tentativeness about academic knowledge. However, few studies explore how hedges have changed in academic writing overtime. ...

Sixty-nine new members join the community of leading life scientists in Europe and beyond

Le 1er juillet 2025, la prestigieuse Organisation européenne de biologie moléculaire (EMBO) a annoncé l'élection de 69 nouvelles et nouveaux membres issu·es de 24 pays, tous·tes des chercheur·euses ho...

Sea slugs steal foreign chloroplasts and store them in specialized organelles that facilitate photosynthesis and eventual digestion to mediate starvation resistance.
