A naturally occurring variant in the Arabidopsis core clock gene EARLY FLOWERING 3 alters temperature responsiveness and has been selected for in regions o

Nature Reviews Genetics, Published online: 17 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41576-026-01008-3In this Review, Buckley et al. discuss how DNA methylation is interpreted in mammals and plants, focusing on the reader proteins and transcription factors that bind to methylated DNA and the downstream mechanisms by which they regulate transcriptional and epigenetic states.

Immature bovine cumulus-oocytes complexes (COCs) with several layers of tightly packed cumulus cells and a homogeneous, darkish ooplasm are considered…

Abstract. Angiosperms represent the most abundant and diverse lineage of land plants, and their evolutionary success is closely linked to major reproductiv

For centuries, the process by which the cinchona tree produces its valuable alkaloids, including the life-saving quinine used to treat malaria, was shrouded in mystery. Now, a research team from the M...

A simple celebratory post about completing my PhD went viral for all the wrong reasons. Here’s how I managed the backlash and used the attention to promote my research.

This is the last edition of PSRW before the new year. Although we have spent the past year celebrating the breakthroughs in plant science, I am going to end on a more sober note…

Stringent control of ubiquitylation is a central requirement of signaling specificity in eukaryotes. Here, we discover a domain module integrating pro…

Combining expansion microscopy with super-resolution radial fluctuations captures the morphology of single proteins.

This study presents an extensive single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomic atlas of the Arabidopsis life cycle that represents ten distinct developmental time points inclusive of six diverse organs.
