   Evolutionarily unique mechanistic framework of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in plants

   Madhumitha Narasimhan et al.

   The examination of the ultra-structure and in vivo dynamics of endocytosis in plants reveal plants unique actin-independent, clathrin-mediated endocytosis mechanisms to overcome their unique physiological properties.

   From plasmodesma geometry to effective symplasmic permeability through biophysical modelling

   Eva E Deinum et al.

   A new biophysical model enables the reconciliation of ultrastructural and tissue level measurements on parameters affecting intercellular communication, and provides novel functional insight into experimental findings.

   A cis-carotene derived apocarotenoid regulates etioplast and chloroplast development

   Christopher I Cazzonelli et al.

   Carotenoids are not just required as core components for plastid biogenesis, they can be cleaved into an apocarotenoid signal that regulates etioplast and chloroplast development during extended periods of darkness.

    An N-terminal motif in NLR immune receptors is functionally conserved across distantly related plant species

    Hiroaki Adachi et al.

    The MADA motif is functionally conserved across NLRs from distantly related plants and has degenerated in sensor NLRs over evolutionary time.
