Rice is a global staple food crop, and its yield is seriously limited by soil salinity. The high-affinity K+ transporter/K+ uptake permease/K+ transporter (HAK/KUP/KT) family of potassium transporters plays a pivotal role in K+ homeostasis and plant salt tolerance. However, their systematic characterization and functio...

Abstract 5‐Methylcytidine (m5C) modifications play a critical role in RNA metabolism. TRM4B (tRNA‐specific methytransferase 4B) is the only known component of the plant m5C machinery that mediates mRNA (messenger RNA) methylation. To date, no regulators governing site‐specific m5C modifications have been identified, ap...

In addition to microRNAs (miRNAs), some small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) such as trans-acting siRNAs are also associated with ARGONAUTE 1 (AGO1) for target cleavage in plants. Efficient identification of the AGO1-enriched small RNAs (sRNAs) and their targets became a challenging task. Here, we emphasized the utility of...

Plants dynamically adjust growth in response to short-day (SD) conditions while maintaining reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis across cellular compartments. However, how light signaling is coupled to organelle-specific redox regulation remains poorly understood. Here, we identify the peroxisomal Mpv17/PMP22 fami...
