  eLife Assessment

  This study presents a useful set of experiments to explore how a salivary protein might facilitate planthopper-transmitted rice stripe virus infection by interfering with callose deposition and if fully validated, these findings would significantly advance our understanding of tripartite virus-vector-plant interactions and could be of broad interest to plant science research. The authors provide additional data supporting protein-protein interactions and clarify the transient presence of LssaCA in plants. However, the mechanistic framework remains incomplete, particularly regarding the temporal dynamics of callose function and the sustained effect of LssaCA after virus inoculation. Evidence for the tripartite interaction's functional relevance is still limited, and several critical phenotypic and biochemical details require further substantiation.

  The macromolecular organization of photosynthetic complexes within the thylakoids of higher plant chloroplasts has been a topic of significant debate. Using in situ cryo-electron tomography, this study reveals the native thylakoid architecture of spinach thylakoid membranes with single-molecule precision. The experimental methods are unique and compelling, providing important information for understanding the structural features that impact photosynthetic regulation in vascular plants and addressing several long-standing questions about the organization and regulation of photosynthesis.

  The manuscript reports fundamental findings supported by convincing data that supports the biological mechanism for optimal nodulation in soybean. The results are of relevance to understanding the signaling pathways (specifically those dependent on RIN4/RPM1-interacting protein 4) underpinning beneficial rhizobia symbiosis, while repressing the immune response.
