Programmed cell death during plant development (dPCD) is crucial for Arabidopsis thaliana root defense, limiting microbial invasion and maintaining a balanced relationship with beneficial microbes.
A plant autophagy pathway transports chloroplast stroma and envelope components into the vacuole through the division and encapsulation of the site of chloroplasts that is associated with developing autophagosome.
A single-cell RNA sequencing reveals cell heterogeneity of secondary metabolism in tea plant root and a proposed model in which the theanine biosynthesis pathway occurs via multicellular compartmentation.

The methylation status of pectin acts as a critical signalling scaffold for RALF peptides, linking extracellular matrix dynamics to peptide hormone-mediated regulation of plant root growth.
Comparative structural analysis and biochemical characterization unraveled the mechanisms behind enzymatic substrate selectivity, leading to an amplified theanine yield through active mutant protein screening, thus refining strategies for theanine production.
