Physiological roles of lignins – tuning cell wall hygroscopy and biomechanics

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 2674-2706, December 2025.
Summary Lignins constitute the second most abundant carbon‐storing biopolymers in the biosphere. These phenolic polymers accumulate in different concentrations, compositions, and localisations within and between cell wall layers and cell types. Lignins were acquired during plant terrestrialisation 450 million years ago, and the diversification of their

Unlocking grass leaf development: foundations for tunable cereal design

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 4, Page 1655-1676, November 2025.
Summary The grass leaf plays a critical role in global food security, generating the carbon stores in cereal grains, which provide > 50% of global calories. As the global population grows, there is an urgent need to increase food production using fewer resources and to develop more resilient agricultural systems to withstand variable climate conditions

Generation of four induced pluripotent stem cells lines from PBMC of the DFNA58 family members: Two hearing-impaired duplication carriers (USPi006-A e USPi007-A) and two normal-hearing noncarriers (USPi004-A and USPi005-A)

Stem Cell Research, 2023
The DFNA58 locus contains a genomic duplication involving three protein-coding genes (CNRIP1, PLEK, and PPP3R1′s exon 1) and other uncharacterized lncRNA genes (LOC101927723, LOC107985892 and LOC102724389).

Guard‐cell expression of abscisic acid receptors for engineering water‐use‐efficient plants without trade‐offs in growth

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 690-705, October 2025.
Summary Abscisic acid (ABA) induces stomatal closure, reducing transpirational water loss, a critical adaptation for agriculture under drought. However, ABA is often viewed cautiously as stomatal closure limits CO2 uptake for photosynthesis and growth.

Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Premise New insights into biomineral uptake and sequestration are important for understanding how plants grow. Some plants accumulate silica accretions in precise locations in particular cells. Among monocots, controlled biosilicification occurs in several different forms and is restricted to commelinids and orchids. Methods We utilized energy‐

Complexity of the 5′ Untranslated Region of EIF4A3, a Critical Factor for Craniofacial and Neural Development

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
Repeats in coding and non-coding regions have increasingly been associated with many human genetic disorders, such as Richieri-Costa-Pereira syndrome (RCPS).

Resolving the contrasting leaf hydraulic adaptation of C3 and C4 grasses

New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 1924-1939, March 2025.
Summary Grasses are exceptionally productive, yet their hydraulic adaptation is paradoxical. Among C3 grasses, a high photosynthetic rate (Aarea) may depend on higher vein density (Dv) and hydraulic conductance (Kleaf). However, the higher Dv of C4 grasses suggests a hydraulic surplus, given their reduced need for high Kleaf resulting from lower ...

The aerial epidermis is a major site of quinolizidine alkaloid biosynthesis in narrow‐leafed lupin

New Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 2052-2068, March 2025.
Summary Lupins are promising protein crops that accumulate toxic quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs) in the seeds, complicating their end‐use. QAs are synthesized in green organs (leaves, stems, and pods) and a subset of them is transported to the seeds during fruit development.

SLPI overexpression in hMSCs could be implicated in the HSC gene expression profile in AML

Scientific Reports
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a severe haematological neoplasm that originates from the transformation of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) into leukaemic stem cells (LSCs).
