Crop leaves in full sunlight dissipate damaging excess absorbed light energy as heat. This
protective dissipation continues after the leaf transitions to shade, reducing crop …

Surface properties, such as adhesion and hydrophobicity, constrain dispersal of bacterial
spores in the environment. In Bacillus subtilis, these properties are influenced by the outermost …

Condensin is a multi-subunit structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complex that
binds to and compacts chromosomes. Here, we addressed the regulation of condensin …

Polysaccharides (PS) decorate the surface of dormant endospores (spores). In the model
organism for sporulation, Bacillus subtilis , the composition of the spore PS is not known in …

We recently demonstrated that accelerating the relaxation of nonphotochemical quenching
leads to higher soybean photosynthetic efficiency and yield. In response, Sinclair et al. assert …

Condensin is a multi-subunit SMC complex that binds to and compacts chromosomes.
Unlike cohesin, in vivo regulators of condensin binding dynamics remain unclear. Here we …

Understanding CRISPR/Cas9's capacity to generate native overexpression (OX) alleles
would accelerate agronomic gains achievable by gene editing. To generate OX alleles with …

Condensin is a multi-subunit SMC complex that binds to and compacts chromosomes.
Unlike cohesin, in vivo regulators of condensin binding dynamics remain unclear. Here we …

Condensins are essential for chromosome compaction and have been implicated in transcription
regulation. The mechanistic foundation of this regulatory function is poorly understood. …
