    The Natural History of Model Organisms: The biology of C. richardii as a tool to understand plant evolution

    Sylvia P Kinosian, Paul G Wolf
    The natural history of the model fern Ceratopteris richardii provides opportunities for unique studies and makes it an important system to include in comparative work.

    A guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) mediated brake on photosynthesis is required for acclimation to nitrogen limitation in Arabidopsis

    Shanna Romand, Hela Abdelkefi ... Ben Field
    Guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) is a pivotal regulator of chloroplast activity that is required for acclimation to nitrogen limitation in the model plant Arabidopsis.

    Host casein kinase 1-mediated phosphorylation modulates phase separation of a rhabdovirus phosphoprotein and virus infection

    Xiao-Dong Fang, Qiang Gao ... Xian-Bing Wang
    Liquid-liquid phase separation of a rhabovirus phosphoprotein initiates viral factory formation of barley yellow striate mosaic virus, a plant negative-sense RNA virus, and host casein kinase 1-mediated phosphorylation inhibits phase separation and virus infection.

    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.
