Kosuke Usuda, Mailun Yang, Namie Ohtsuki et al.
SUMMARY: Balancing the acquisition of the macronutrients nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) is critical for plant growth, yet the mechanisms that balance N and K acquisition remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the NIN‐LIKE PROTEIN7 ...

SUMMARY: Drought is widely recognized as one of the most severe abiotic stresses limiting plant growth and productivity. Proanthocyanidins (PAs), as key functional secondary metabolites, are central to enhancing plant tolerance to abioti...
