Genome-wide Transcriptomic Analysis of T<i>oxoplasma gondii</i> Reveals Stage-specific Regulatory Programs and Metabolic Adaptations Driving Oocyst Sporulation Open
The sporulation of Toxoplasma gondii oocysts is a critical developmental transition transforming non-infective environmental stages into highly resilient and infective forms capable of zoonotic transmission. Despite significant advances, t…

ALFIN-LIKE Proteins Orchestrate H3K4me3-H3K27me3 Crosstalk to Regulate Plant Embryogenesis Open
In multicellular organisms such as animals and plants, development requires the precise regulation of gene expression, mediated not only by transcription factors but also by chromatin-based mechanisms. Among these, histone modifications li…

Systematic Discovery and Design of Synthetic Immune Receptors in Plants Open
Plants deploy a diverse array of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that perceive microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) to activate immune responses. Leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase subgroup XII (LRR-RLK-XII) represents …
