Shooting for the STARRs: A Modified STARR-seq Assay for Rapid Identification and Evaluation of Plant Regulatory Sequences in Tobacco Leaves
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefA single genome gives rise to different cell types and organs in response to precise temporal and spatial regulation of gene expression, driven by developmental and environmental cues. These expression patterns are orchestrated by cis-regulatory elements, distal enhancers and gene-proximal promoters.…

Sulfoxidation of NON-RIPENING Affects Tomato Fruit Ripening
Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: On The InsideTranscription factors (TFs) can be subject to multiple posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that affect protein stability, subcellular localization, interactions with corepressors and activators, and DNA binding activity of TFs, thereby influencing their regulatory activities on target genes. Recent…
An Intrinsically Disordered Protein Interacts with the Plant Cytoskeleton
Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: On The InsideIntrinsically disordered proteins lack a defined three-dimensional structure but often contain a simple amino acid composition with repeated sequences that provide the basis for multivalent intermolecular interactions. Because of their unique structural flexibility, conformational adaptability, and…
