TL;DR: It is shown that Evening Complex (EC), a core component of the circadian oscillator, negatively regulates leaf senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana, and directly binds the promoter of MYC2, which encodes a key activator of JA-induced leaf seneca, and represses its expression.

TL;DR: It is reported that CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED1 (OsCCA1), a vital clock component in rice, is required for tolerance to salinity, osmotic, and drought stresses, and it is illustrated that OsCCA 1 confers multiple abiotic stress tolerance likely by orchestrating ABA signaling, which links the circadian clock with A BA signaling in rice.

TL;DR: In this paper , the identity of the plant DNA polymerases enabling geminivirus replication has remained largely elusive, however, it was shown that DNA polymerase α mediates the ss-to-ds conversion of tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and is therefore essential for the infection.

TL;DR: Current progresses on the molecular basis for rice heading date control are summarized, especially focusing on the integration mechanism between photoperiod and circadian clock, and epigenetic regulation and heading procedures in response to abiotic stresses.
