TL;DR: This work identifies insertion polymorphisms in the first intron of FLM as causative for accelerated flowering in many natural A. thaliana accessions, especially in cool (15°C) temperatures and presents evidence for a potential adaptive role of this structural variation and link it specifically to changes in the abundance ofFLM-ß.

TL;DR: A simplified classification scheme has been developed to relate the type of bleb to specific signals or cell functions and shows that spontaneously blebbing cells form almost exclusively type 1 blebs.

TL;DR: Mechanistically, RCF3 affects miRNA biogenesis through nuclear interactions with the phosphatases C-TERMINAL DOMAIN PHOSPHATASE-LIKE1 and 2 (CPL1 and CPL2) and these interactions are essential to regulate the phosphorylation status, and thus the activity, of the double-stranded RNA binding protein and DICER-LIke1 cofactor HYPONASTIC LEAVES1 (HYL1).

TL;DR: Re reconstructing the evolution of the disease-related locus MLO2b, it is found that divergence between ancient haplotypes can be obscured by referenced based re-sequencing methods, and that trans-specific alleles can encode substantially diverged protein sequences.

TL;DR: It is found that charge and a lipid residue are sufficient for plasma membrane localization and function of the constitutively active V12K-Ras4B and mutants with very highly charged domains that bind almost exclusively to the plasma membrane show less transforming potential than expected.
