How do diatoms adapt when both nitrogen and phosphorus are limited? This study shows they prioritise nitrogen uptake over phosphorus sensing, revealing a hierarchy in resource allocation that reshapes our understanding of nutrient limitation in marine ecosystems.

Nitrogen status exerts dynamic control over phosphorus sensing and acquisition via PSR1 in colimited marine diatoms
Diatoms exert reciprocal, fine-scale control of P acquisition by N availability, depending on the immediate needs of the cell.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of TRANSPARENT TESTA 8 downregulates flavonoid biosynthetic pathway in seeds of Brassica juncea
Accumulation of proanthocyanidin (PA) in the seed coat determines black to brown seed color in Brassicaceae members. Consequently, yellow-seed coat re…

Under drought, cold, and salinity, plants activate ROS1 to remove methylation marks and induce stress-defense genes. Under heat stress, plants deliberately repress ROS1, preventing it from inadvertently triggering transposon activity.

Plants repress ROS1 expression to attenuate heat-induced transposon burst - Nature Plants
Plants suppress the DNA demethylase ROS1 under heat stress to limit transposon activation, preventing genome instability. This conserved mechanism balances stress adaptation with genome protection.
