The study generated deep proteome and phosphoproteome datasets from guard cell‑enriched tissue to examine how phosphorylation regulates stomatal movements. Comparative analysis revealed increased phosphorylation of endomembrane trafficking and vacuolar proteins in closed stomata, supporting a role for phospho‑regulated trafficking in stomatal dynamics.

Reduced activity of methylthioadenosine (MTA) nucleosidase causes MTA over‑accumulation in reproductive tissues, leading to lowered cysteine, methionine, and S‑adenosylmethionine levels and altered sulfur and energy metabolism. These metabolic disturbances trigger misregulation of cell‑cycle progression, widespread down‑regulation of developmental genes, and genome‑wide changes in DNA methylation patterns, highlighting the extensive role of MTA recycling in plant growth and methyl‑index maintenance.
