Parliament has adopted new rules facilitating access to new plants that are climate and pest resistant, give higher yields and require fewer pesticides.

Activity-based profiling with fluorescent probes is a powerful tool for the functional characterization of whole enzyme classes in crude proteomes. Here, we discovered that probe cocktails consisting ...

Iron acquisition is a critical challenge for plants, especially in iron-deficient soils. Recent research underscores the importance of root-exuded coumarins in modulating the root microbiome communi.....

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation is the dominant method for plant transgenesis, yet it frequently produces multi-copy, structurally complex T-DNA insertions associated with transgene silencing, u...

Richard Bischof’s devices aim to make telemetry research cheaper, higher quality, and more humane

Bian et al. show that the GLP-1R agonist liraglutide alleviates depression via a GLP-1R-independent, gut-microbiota-dependent mechanism. Liraglutide enriches Lactobacillus delbrueckii, elevating 2-ara...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi form symbioses with ~70% of plant species, building hyphal networks that exchange nutrients for host-derived carbon. These tubular networks move ~1 billion metric tons of ...

Spatially reprogramming of the expression of ACS genes in Medicago truncatula coordinate localized changes in ethylene levels and response across root tiss

The updated OrthoFinder v3 software boosts accuracy and scalability in phylogenetic orthology inference with massive and diverse datasets.

Gain or loss of a particular domain contributes to functional specialization of a conserved chitinase in beneficial root endophyte towards microbial antagonism or host immune suppression.

A plant receptor detects caterpillar attack and triggers emission of chemical cues to attract predatory wasps.

Most proteins belong to evolutionary lineages commonly referred to as protein families, although this fundamental feature is often overlooked in everyday res...

A super-pangenome analysis incorporating 123 newly sequenced bryophyte genomes reveals that bryophytes exhibit a larger number of unique and lineage-specific gene families than vascular plants.

RNA viruses co-opt host endomembranes to form replication complexes, often triggering cellular stress and immune responses. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana activates selective autophagy to res...

The plant growth–promoting bacterium Pseudomonas koreensis improves Brachypodium distachyon growth under limited nitrogen by modulating plant-encoded N acquisition and metabolic organization within a....

Sustainable human–wildlife coexistence requires a mechanistic understanding of the many ways that humans affect animals. However, progress is hampered by the lack of accessible data measuring the dyna...

A long-term risk model for use in primary prevention was designed to identify individuals at high risk of developing breast cancer in the coming 10 years.

Atoms are selectively replaced, added, or deleted within ring-shaped molecules
