    Plant SYP12 syntaxins mediate an evolutionarily conserved general immunity to filamentous pathogens

    Hector M Rubiato, Mengqi Liu ... Mads E Nielsen
    To effectively ward off some of the most damaging groups of filamentous pathogens, plants rely on an evolutionarily conserved syntaxin function to block the pathogen from entering the host cell and proliferate.

    Histone H1 prevents non-CG methylation-mediated small RNA biogenesis in Arabidopsis heterochromatin

    Jaemyung Choi, David B Lyons, Daniel Zilberman
    Linker histone H1 and cytosine DNA methylation in contexts other than CG explain patterns of 24 nucleotide small RNA biogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

    CASP microdomain formation requires cross cell wall stabilization of domains and non-cell autonomous action of LOTR1

    Andreas Kolbeck, Peter Marhavý ... Niko Geldner
    Localized lignin impregnations, forming a pan-endodermal net-like diffusion barrier strongly relies on stabilizing signals from neighbors.

    Plant Trans-Golgi Network/Early Endosome pH regulation requires Cation Chloride Cotransporter (CCC1)

    Daniel W McKay, Heather E McFarlane ... Stefanie Wege
    Cation chloride cotransporter CCC1 has a central function in plant cells and is the missing ion efflux component of the transport circuit necessary to regulate pH in the lumen of the trans-Golgi-network/early endosome, the major cargo hub in plant cells.

    Regulation of immune receptor kinase plasma membrane nanoscale organization by a plant peptide hormone and its receptors

    Julien Gronnier, Christina M Franck ... Cyril Zipfel
    The perception of endogenous RALF signaling peptides modulates the plasma membrane nanoscale organization of receptor kinases to regulate plant immune signaling.

    The YTHDF proteins ECT2 and ECT3 bind largely overlapping target sets and influence target mRNA abundance, not alternative polyadenylation

    Laura Arribas-Hernández, Sarah Rennie ... Peter Brodersen
    The Arabidopsis N6-methyladenosine (m6A) binding proteins ECT2 and ECT3 act redundantly in the cytoplasm to regulate m6A-containing mRNAs whose abundances are reduced in ect2/ect3/ect4 knockout plants although the locations of their polyadenylation sites remain unaffected, contrary to currently held beliefs.

    Principles of mRNA targeting via the Arabidopsis m6A-binding protein ECT2

    Laura Arribas-Hernández, Sarah Rennie ... Peter Brodersen
    The Arabidopsis N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-binding protein ECT2 binds to m6A in the canonical RR[m6A]CH motif, not a plant-specific motif as previously thought, and its intrinsically disordered region contributes to mRNA binding via contacts with U-rich motifs.

    Wild cereal grain consumption among Early Holocene foragers of the Balkans predates the arrival of agriculture

    Emanuela Cristiani, Anita Radini ... Dušan Borić
    A consistent pattern of consumption of Triticeae tribe grasses documented in the Danube Gorges of the Balkans since the Early Mesolithic might have facilitated a quick uptake of domesticated cereals due to a developed cultural taste and specific stone tool processing technology.

    The decrotonylase FoSir5 facilitates mitochondrial metabolic state switching in conidial germination of Fusarium oxysporum

    Ning Zhang, Limin Song ... Wenxing Liang
    The decrotonylase FoSir5 modulates ATP synthesis that supports conidial germination in Fusarium oxysporum through coordinated lysine decrotonylation in different organelles.

    A coupled mechano-biochemical model for cell polarity guided anisotropic root growth

    Marco Marconi, Marcal Gallemi ... Krzysztof Wabnik
    The spatial-temporal computer model of plant root meristem combines biomechanics and biochemical scales to reveal design principles underlying cell polarity and anisotropic growth during root development.
