An ARF gene mutation creates flint kernel architecture in dent maize

The mutation of ARFTF17 results in the development of flint kernel architecture in dent maize by reducing excessive pericarp length. This discovery holds significant potential for enhancing grain quality in elite, high-yielding dent maize hybrids.

PEN1 catalyses RNA primer removal during plastid DNA replication in maize

The enzyme involved in RNA primer removal during ptDNA replication has long remained mysterious. Researchers have now found that PEN1 is responsible for this process, thereby filling a critical gap in our understanding of ptDNA replication.

Structure–function analysis of neutralizing antibodies to H7N9 influenza from naturally infected humans

Structural and functional characterization of H7-reactive monoclonal neutralizing antibodies from donors naturally infected with H7N9 influenza virus reveals overlapping epitopes around the receptor binding site of haemagglutinin and antigenic change in virus lineages isolated in 2013/14 versus 2016/17, indicating a need to update H7N9 vaccines.

Structural basis for a human broadly neutralizing influenza A hemagglutinin stem-specific antibody including H17/18 subtypes

Influenza continues to represent a major threat to public health, and the development of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that provide broad protection remains a key avenue for therapeutic development. Here, the authors demonstrate the molecular basis of neutralization for a human bnAb (PN-SIA28) against both endemic influenza A and emerging pathogens such as bat H17 and H18 viruses.

Spatial transcriptomics uncover sucrose post-phloem transport during maize kernel development

Maize kernels have long intrigued researchers due to their complex structure. Through microscopic sectioning and spatial transcriptomics, the authors observed the spatial distribution of RNA through electronic RNA in situ hybridization maps and discovered how storage accumulation occurs.

Neutralization mechanism of human monoclonal antibodies against Rift Valley fever virus

The isolation and characterization of glycoprotein-specific monoclonal antibodies from a patient with Rift Valley fever (RVF) provide insights into the humoral immune responses elicited by the RVF virus as well as the therapeutic potential of antibody-based strategies.
