A SAUR gene enhances maize drought resilience by promoting silk elongation

Nature, Published online: 20 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10566-9

The Small Auxin Up RNA (SAUR) protein ZmSAUR72 in maize (Zea mays) promotes silk growth via regulation of H+-ATPase activity, and is a key determinant of the anthesis-silking interval and thus resilience to drought.

Single-cell spatiotemporal dissection of the human maternal–fetal interface

Nature, Published online: 08 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10316-x

A single-cell multiomic atlas of the human maternal–fetal interface across pregnancy reveals cell types, states and spatial niches, developmental tissue architectures and transcriptional programmes, and identifies cell types with roles in pre-eclampsia, spontaneous preterm birth and miscarriage.

Pyruvate is a natural suppressor of interferon signaling by inducing STAT1 protein pyruvylation

Yibo et al. identify protein pyruvylation as a post-translational modification that can modulate immune signaling and host antiviral response.
