Heterotrimeric G proteins are coupled to and regulate plant receptor signaling, which allows optimum immune activation and enhances the production of reactive oxygen species.

Real-time ³³P imaging combined with specific complementation of inorganic phosphate transport in the root cap reveals this tissue’s contribution to phosphate uptake.

The conserved polypeptide transport associated (POTRA) domains of the protein import channel, Toc75, are essential for protein import into chloroplasts.

A plant pathogen effector evolved a short linear motif to subvert autophagic defenses by antagonising a host cargo receptor.

A conserved, circadian-regulated protein alters light perception in plants to regulate daily growth in response to changing photoperiod.

Simple mathematical models can relate gene expression to climatic variables in field grown rice.

Mechanical stress promotes the expression of the homeobox gene and meristem master regulator STM, synergistically and independently from auxin depletion.

A computational method to authenticate low-coverage ancient DNA experiments shows that putative wheat sequences from 8000 years old sediments are most likely not of ancient origin.
