Plant synthetic biology holds great promise for engineering plants to meet future demands. Genetic circuits are being designed, built, and tested in plants to demonstrate proof of concept. However, de...

An approach that combines single-nucleus RNA sequencing and multiplexed perturbation identifies genes that enable the biosynthesis of direct precursors of the anti-cancer drug Taxol, whose curren...

Advances in single-cell and spatial omics technologies have revolutionised biology by revealing the diverse molecular states of individual cells and their spatial organization within tissues. The fie...

Plants rely on water and light for photosynthesis, but water droplets on leaves can focus light into high-intensity spots, risking photodamage. Excess…

The field of mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics is rapidly advancing with technological and computational improvements, including leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to drive inn...

The role of nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors in plant immunity is well studied, but the function of a class of tandem kinases (TKs) that confer disease resistance in wheat and ba...
