    Symbiosis: How plants pick their friends

    Estelle Grundy, Michael Udvardi
    A protein called RIN4 has a central role in helping legumes such as soybean and the bacteria rhizobia to develop a mutually beneficial relationship.

    Competence for transcellular infection in the root cortex involves a post-replicative, cell-cycle exit decision in Medicago truncatula

    Morgane Batzenschlager, Beatrice Lace ... Thomas Ott
    Imaging deep root tissues with a combination of cell-cycle reporters reveals that a cortical cell file traversed by symbiotic bacteria exhibits reduced proliferative potential and enters a prolonged G2 phase.

    The rhizobial effector NopT targets Nod factor receptors to regulate symbiosis in Lotus japonicus

    Hanbin Bao, Yanan Wang ... Yangrong Cao
    The rhizobial effector NopT and two Nod factor receptors of Lotus japonicus, NFR1 and NFR5, mutually interact to precisely regulate rhizobial symbiosis.

    Structure of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase from the model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

    Théo Le Moigne, Martina Santoni ... Julien Henri
    Crystallography, molecular dynamics simulations, and biochemical analyses of Calvin-Benson-Bassham sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) from the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii identify a redox module that controls oligomeric states for the activation of the enzyme.

    Natural variation in salt-induced changes in root:shoot ratio reveals SR3G as a negative regulator of root suberization and salt resilience in Arabidopsis

    Maryam Rahmati Ishka, Hayley Sussman ... Magdalena M Julkowska
    Salt stress disrupts root-shoot growth coordination through SR3G, a negative regulator of salt tolerance, that affects shoot growth, root suberization, and sodium accumulation, revealing new targets for environmental resilience.
