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.

Hybridization barriers in Arabidopsis thaliana can be established by paternally expressed imprinted genes (PEGs) that affect cellularization of the endosperm during seed development.

Kinesin-like calmodulin-binding protein integrates microtubules and F-actin to assemble the cytoskeletal configuration needed for trichome formation.

The transcription factor bZIP63 is a key regulator of the starvation response in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and is directly targeted by the kinase SnRK1.

Structure/function studies of a plant pathogen effector in complex with a host disease resistance protein domain reveal the molecular basis for recognition and underpin future engineering of immunity in crops.

Phosphate starvation in rice induces widespread, but transient, modulation of DNA methylation near stress responsive genes that is independent from the RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway.

An adaptation to extreme winter has involved a shift to autumn temperature monitoring.
