Hidden Strategies Beneath a Single Nucleotide: Contrasting Physiology in Lichen Photobiont Strains
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lichen photobionts exhibit significant physiological variability with important ecological implications. While this variability is relatively well studied at the interspecific level, it has rarely been examined at the intraspecific level. Here, we investigated the physiological responses to temperature and irradiance of two Trebouxia lynniae ...

DNA methylome responses to biotic and abiotic stress in Arabidopsis thaliana: A multi‐study analysis
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Sixteen Arabidopsis thaliana Whole‐Genome Bisulfite Sequencing datasets have been analysed to reveal common and stress‐specific DNA methylation responses. Although global methylation levels remained stable, specific DMRs varied according to the type of stress and genomics context.

Effects of crossing distance on components of fitness in two rare rock plants
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Crossing experiments between populations of the rare rock species Saxifraga rosacea ssp. rosacea (8×) and S. rosacea ssp. sponhemica (6×) resulted in heterosis for some traits and outbreeding depression for others. Crossing the two subspecies resulted in sterile hybrids indicating that mixing populations of rare species is not always beneficial ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model system for human inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Most genes involved in inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans, where genetic manipulation enables functional characterization of variants, identification of regulatory proteins, and in vivo drug testing.
