   Uncovering natural variation in root system architecture and growth dynamics using a robotics-assisted phenomics platform

   Therese LaRue, Heike Lindner ... José R Dinneny

   Advances in robotics-assisted plant handling and automated image analysis enables the characterization of root growth dynamics for Arabidopsis accessions at late stages of development and the association of these traits with genetic variation and climatic variables.

   The Arabidopsis SAC9 enzyme is enriched in a cortical population of early endosomes and restricts PI(4,5)P₂ at the plasma membrane

   Alexis Lebecq, Mehdi Doumane ... Marie-Cécile Caillaud

   SAC9 prevents the accumulation of PI(4,5)P₂ in intracellular compartments, thereby contributing to clathrin-mediated endocytosis at the plasma membrane and regulating the cortical localization of its protein partner SH3P2.

   A dynamic rhizosphere interplay between tree roots and soil bacteria under drought stress

   Yaara Oppenheimer-Shaanan, Gilad Jakoby ... Tamir Klein

   Increased root exudation rate under combined drought and bacterial inoculation and bacterial growth stimulation by specific exudation metabolites support the idea of root recruitment of beneficial bacteria, especially under water stress.

   Locally adaptive temperature response of vegetative growth in Arabidopsis thaliana

   Pieter Clauw, Envel Kerdaffrec ... Magnus Nordborg

   Growth of Arabidopsis seedlings at low temperatures differs between plants that hail from different parts of the world in a way that suggests climate adaptation.

   Increased signal-to-noise ratios within experimental field trials by regressing spatially distributed soil properties as principal components

   Jeffrey C Berry, Mingsheng Qi ... Rebecca S Bart

   A method to reduce the noise present in field experiments by accounting for heterogeneity in field soils.

   A dual-target herbicidal inhibitor of lysine biosynthesis

   Emily RR Mackie, Andrew S Barrow ... Tatiana P Soares da Costa

   The first recently discovered inhibitors of lysine biosynthesis with in planta activity have a dual-target mode of action, which provides proof-of-concept for the development of multi-target ‘resistance-resistant’ herbicides with a novel mode of action.

   Perception of a conserved family of plant signalling peptides by the receptor kinase HSL3

   Jack Rhodes, Andra-Octavia Roman ... Cyril Zipfel

   Identification of a new family of stress-induced plant signalling peptides and their cognate receptor.

    Using positional information to provide context for biological image analysis with MorphoGraphX 2.0

    Sören Strauss, Adam Runions ... Richard S Smith

    MorphoGraphX is a user-friendly image processing software primarily aimed at segmenting 3D biological images into cells, quantifying cellular gene expression and growth, and understanding these data in the spatial context of developing organs.
