Abstract Rice paddies significantly contribute to atmospheric methane (CH4). Here, we show that two independent rice genotypes overexpressing genes for PLANT PEPTIDES CONTAINING SULFATED TYROSINE (PSY) reduce cumulative CH4 emissions by 38% (PSY1) and 58% (PSY2) over 70 days of growth compared with controls.

Abstract The molecular diversity of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil depends on the stage of plant litter decomposition and microbial metabolism. Yet the contributions of catabolic and anabolic processes on DOM molecular diversity, and their consequences for organic carbon mineralization, remain unclear.

Abstract Scenedesmus obliquus UTEX393 is a promising microalgal candidate for sustainable biomanufacturing but its limited halotolerance hinders large-scale cultivation in saline environments. To investigate the molecular basis of salt stress responses, we conducted a comprehensive multi-omic analysis integrating genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, and DNA affinity purification sequencing (DAP-seq).
