Multifaceted roles of GRAS transcription factors in growth and stress responses in plants
iScience, 2022 Summary: The GAI-RGA- and -SCR (GRAS) proteins regulate a myriad of biological functions in plants. The C-terminus of GRAS proteins is highly conserved, whereas the N-terminus is hypervariable.

Fossil samaras of Ailanthus from South China and their phytogeographic implications
iScience, 2022 Summary: Ailanthus Desf. (Simaroubaceae), now widespread in southern Asia to northern Australia, was widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere during the Cenozoic, but has few fossil records at low latitudes.

Heritable CRISPR-Cas9 editing of plant genomes using RNA virus vectors
STAR Protocols, 2023 Summary: Viral vectors hold enormous potential for genome editing in plants as transient delivery vehicles of CRISPR-Cas components. Here, we describe a protocol to assemble plant viral vectors for single-guide RNA (sgRNA) delivery.

Photosynthetic Research in Plant Science [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2009 Photosynthesis is a highly regulated, multistep process. It encompasses the harvest of solar energy, transfer of excitation energy, energy conversion, electron transfer from water to NADP+, ATP generation and a series of enzymatic reactions that assimilate carbon dioxide and synthesize carbohydrate.

Protocol for diagnosing Erwinia amylovora infection using a fluorescent probe
STAR Protocols, 2023 Summary: Current fire blight diagnosis techniques are DNA based and require specialized equipment and expertise, or they are less sensitive. Here, we present a protocol for diagnosing fire blight using the fluorescent probe, B-1.

Data Science and Plant Metabolomics
Metabolites, 2023 The study of plant metabolism is one of the most complex tasks, mainly due to the huge amount and structural diversity of metabolites, as well as the fact that they react to changes in the environment and ultimately influence each other. Metabolic profiling is most often carried out using tools that include mass spectrometry (MS), which is one of the ...
