Post-translational control of circadian period can involve changes in protein intracellular localization to affect clock function. Many clock proteins rely on a nuclear presence for their activity….
Many agricultural soils are deficient in key macronutrients needed for healthy plant development. Relying on highly water-soluble commercial fertilizers for long durations can be costly and…
Diurnal changes in light availability are a defining feature of life on Earth. Photoautotrophic organisms therefore store reduced carbon during the day to sustain energy metabolism at night. In…
Beneficial interactions between plants and microorganisms strongly influence plant health and productivity, and root exudates play a central role in shaping these associations. This study analyzed…
Mechanical interaction between guard cells and epidermal pavement cells enables large stomatal apertures and high productivity in angiosperms. We do not know when this response evolved, but over the…
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is conserved across land plants and is the default nutrient uptake strategy in nature. Within roots, AM colonisation is tightly patterned and dynamically tuned…
C4photosynthesis improves light, water and nitrogen-use efficiencies and can raise yieldby50% compared with the ancestral C3pathway.Engineering C4traits into C3crops could substantially boost food…
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) frequently follows a recurrent trajectory of episodes and remissions, often culminating in treatment-resistance. Molecular differences defining state-specific changes…
Malonate is often described as an endogenous inhibitor of complex II of the electron transport chain. However, the cellular source of malonate is unclear, and current knowledge concerning its…
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a central driver of neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE), yet the specific vulnerabilities of mitochondrial fusion machinery in the neonatal brain remain…
