   Antimicrobial peptide expression in a wild tobacco plant reveals the limits of host-microbe-manipulations in the field

   Arne Weinhold et al.

   The attempt to manipulate a microbiome in planta to study the ecological consequences under field conditions leaves plants and their microbes surprisingly unimpressed.

   Origin and evolution of the nuclear auxin response system

   Sumanth K Mutte et al.

   The system that controls gene expression by the plant signaling molecule auxin has deep evolutionary roots, and stepwise increases in system complexity shaped the highly diverse auxin response in land plants.

   The CLAVATA receptor FASCIATED EAR2 responds to distinct CLE peptides by signaling through two downstream effectors

   Byoung Il Je et al.

   The maize CLAVATA receptor, FEA2, functions in the perception of two different ligands, and remarkably that signaling from these different inputs is differentiated by the receptor interacting with two different downstream components.

   LPCAT1 controls phosphate homeostasis in a zinc-dependent manner

   Mushtak Kisko et al.

   Phosphate accumulation in zinc-deficient Arabidobsis shoots is regulated by a pathway involving the transcription factor bZIP23, the phospholipid-remodelling enzyme LPCAT1 and the transporter PHT1;1.

   Stromule extension along microtubules coordinated with actin-mediated anchoring guides perinuclear chloroplast movement during innate immunity

   Amutha Sampath Kumar et al.

   Stromules induced during plant innate immunity dynamically interact and use the cytoskeleton to form and to direct the movement of chloroplasts.

   The diversity of floral temperature patterns, and their use by pollinators

   Michael JM Harrap et al.

   Flowers of different plant species show distinct and highly diverse patterns of temperature across their surfaces, and bumblebees are able to differentiate between these previously unnoticed but widespread floral cues.

    An evolutionarily young defense metabolite influences the root growth of plants via the ancient TOR signaling pathway

    Frederikke Gro Malinovsky et al.

    Young defense metabolites are often believed to be solely outputs but evidence suggests that they can regulate ancient signaling pathways.
