    Plant secondary metabolite-dependent plant-soil feedbacks can improve crop yield in the field

    Valentin Gfeller, Jan Waelchli ... Matthias Erb
    A 2-year field experiment reveals that plant secondary metabolites can be harnessed to increase crop productivity through plant-soil feedbacks under agronomically realistic conditions.

    Arabidopsis RCD1 coordinates chloroplast and mitochondrial functions through interaction with ANAC transcription factors

    Alexey Shapiguzov, Julia P Vainonen ... Jaakko Kangasjärvi
    Signalling and metabolic interactions of the plant energy organelles, chloroplasts and mitochondria, depend on the nuclear regulatory protein RCD1.

    The Arabidopsis active demethylase ROS1 cis-regulates defence genes by erasing DNA methylation at promoter-regulatory regions

    Thierry Halter, Jingyu Wang ... Lionel Navarro
    Active DNA demethylation at some defence gene promoters is causal for DNA binding of WRKY transcription factors as well as for transcriptional activation of these genes during plant immune response.

    Imidacloprid disrupts larval molting regulation and nutrient energy metabolism, causing developmental delay in honey bee Apis mellifera

    Zhi Li, Yuedi Wang ... Zeyang Zhou
    Molecular and biochemical methods provide the first evidence of toxicity of imidacloprid causing developmental retardation in honeybee larvae, highlighting the potential risks of prolonged exposure to insecticides during animal development.

    Caenorhabditis elegans processes sensory information to choose between freeloading and self-defense strategies

    Jodie A Schiffer, Francesco A Servello ... Javier Apfeld
    C. elegans nematodes use a sensory-neuronal circuit to determine whether to defend themselves from hydrogen peroxide attack or to freeload off orthologous protective defenses from bacteria in their surrounding environment.

    Cell detoxification of secondary metabolites by P4-ATPase-mediated vesicle transport

    Yujie Li, Hui Ren ... Yan Pei
    P4-ATPase BbCrpa detoxifies secondary metabolites via a unique vesicle-mediated transport pathway that targets the compounds into vacuoles.

    Genetic analysis of the Arabidopsis TIR1/AFB auxin receptors reveals both overlapping and specialized functions

    Michael J Prigge, Matthieu Platre ... Mark Estelle
    Genetic analyses reveal that the TIR1/AFB auxin receptors have broadly overlapping functions throughout plant development, but that the AFB1 receptor has a specialized role in a rapid auxin response.

    Genetic transformation of the dinoflagellate chloroplast

    Isabel C Nimmo, Adrian C Barbrook ... Christopher J Howe
    Successful stable transformation of the dinoflagellate chloroplast genome.

    Selective egg cell polyspermy bypasses the triploid block

    Yanbo Mao, Alexander Gabel ... Rita Groß-Hardt
    A ménàge à trois introduces extra DNA only to plant embryos, thus skipping endosperm-induced seed hybridization barriers.

    ECS1 and ECS2 suppress polyspermy and the formation of haploid plants by promoting double fertilization

    Yanbo Mao, Thomas Nakel ... Rita Groß-Hardt
    The endopeptidases ECS1 and ECS2 regulate double fertilization and their modulation is a powerful tool for the induction of haploids and the formation of triparental plants, which are two agronomically relevant breeding targets.
