The study combined long‑read whole‑genome assembly, multi‑omics profiling (DNA methylation, mRNA, ribosome‑associated transcripts, tRNA abundance, and protein levels) in two Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to evaluate how genomic information propagates through the Central Dogma. Codon usage in gene sequences emerged as the strongest predictor of both mRNA and protein abundance, while methylation, tRNA levels, and ribosome‑associated transcripts contributed little additional information under stable conditions.

The study compares transcriptional, proteomic, and metabolomic responses of wild‑type Arabidopsis and a cyp71A27 mutant to a plant‑growth‑promoting Pseudomonas fluorescens strain and a pathogenic Burkholderia glumeae strain, revealing distinct reprogramming and an unexpected signaling role for the non‑canonical P450 CYP71A27. Mutant analysis showed that loss of CYP71A27 alters gene and protein regulation, especially during interaction with the PGP bacterium, while having limited impact on root metabolites and exudates.

The study examined how heat stress alters lipid droplet (LD) number and composition in Arabidopsis thaliana roots, revealing degradation of membrane lipids and accumulation of TAGs and LDs. Proteomic and lipidomic analyses of LDs from a specific Arabidopsis mutant identified novel LD-associated proteins, including triterpene biosynthetic enzymes, whose substrates and products also accumulate in LDs, indicating LDs function as both sinks and sources during stress‑induced membrane remodeling and specialized metabolism.

The study reveals that a set of REPRODUCTIVE MERISTEM (REM) transcription factors, termed RIMs, are essential for directing RNA‑directed DNA methylation (RdDM) to CLSY3 targets in a sex‑specific manner in Arabidopsis reproductive tissues. Disruption of RIM DNA‑binding domains or their target motifs abolishes RdDM at these loci, demonstrating that genetic cues can guide de novo methylation patterns.

The study identifies four Arabidopsis REM transcription factors (VDD, VAL, REM12, REM13) that bind specific DNA sequences and, together with GDE1, recruit RNA polymerase IV to produce 24‑nt siRNAs that direct DNA methylation at designated loci. Loss of GDE1 causes Pol IV complexes to relocalize to sites bound by REM8, indicating that REM proteins provide sequence‑specific cues for epigenetic patterning.

The study investigates how miR394 influences flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana by combining transcriptomic profiling of mir394a mir394b double mutants with histological analysis of reporter lines. Bioinformatic analysis identified a novel lncRNA overlapping MIR394B (named MIRAST), and differential promoter activity of MIR394A and MIR394B suggests miR394 fine‑tunes flower development through transcription factor and chromatin remodeler regulation.
