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.

A viral protein hijacks the key effector of transcriptional gene silencing, Su(var)3-9, to evade host plant surveillance.

SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes act as ‘gatekeepers’ for auxin responses and directly interact with the auxin response factor MONOPTEROS.

A luminescence-based imaging system is presented that allows soil-based environmental stimuli to be studied in root systems under physiologically relevant conditions.
