TL;DR: Structural analysis of the LeEix proteins suggests that they belong to a class of cell-surface glycoproteins with a signal for receptor-mediated endocytosis, suggesting that endocyTosis plays a key role in the signal transduction pathway.

TL;DR: Testing tomato gene expression with tagged nuclei and ribosomes and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing shows conservation of SHORT-ROOT gene function, and transcriptional reporters, translational reporters, and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated nuclease9 genome edited demonstrate that SH short-roOT and SCARECROW gene function is conserved between Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and tomato.

TL;DR: Jaindra Tirpathi et al report a strategy for inactivating endogenous banana streak virus sequences in the plantain B genome using CRISPR/Cas9, providing an improved B genome germplasm for plantain and banana breeding.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cis-nat-siRNA-based regulation plays key roles in Arabidopsis reproductive function, as it facilitates gametophyte formation and double fertilization, a developmental process of enormous agricultural value.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that LeEix1 attenuates Eix-induced internalization and signaling of the LeEIX2 receptor in a yeast two-hybrid and in planta bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays.
