Plants are sessile organisms that constantly adapt to their changing environment. The root is exposed to numerous environmental signals ranging from nutrients and water to microbial molecular patterns. These signals can trigger distinct responses including the rapid increase or decrease of root growth. Consequently, using root growth as a readout for signal perception can help decipher which external...
Highly pathogenic coronaviruses, including SARS‐CoV‐2, SARS‐CoV and MERS‐CoV, are thought to be transmitted from bats to humans, but the viral genetic signatures that contribute to bat‐to‐human transmission remain largely obscure. In this study, we identified an identical ribosomal frameshift motif among the three bat–human pairs of viruses and strong purifying selection after jumping from bats to...
