The chitin-triggered immune response is mediated by a LYK5 and CERK1 receptor complex in Arabidopsis.

An adult stem-cell lineage terminally differentiates via recruitment of the RETINOBLASTOMA-RELATED protein by a lineage specific transcription factor.

The movement of F-actin filaments, which is regulated by actin-myosin interactions together with a female gamete-specific Rho-GTPase, enables migration of the Arabidopsis sperm cell nucleus towards the female nucleus; which might account for the loss of centrosomes in flowering plants.

Class VIII myosins mediate crosstalk between actin and microtubules to position cell division in plants.

The SCHENGEN3 protein is needed for the progression of isolated microdomains into a continuous band, which is necessary for the establishment of the major extracellular diffusion barrier in plant roots: the Casparian strip.

Individual scientists, scientific communities and scientific journals can do more to assess the publication of irreproducible results, to promote good science, and to increase the efficiency with which the scientific community self-corrects.

Metabolic exaptation of an anaplerotic nitrogen cycle between bundle sheath and mesophyll cells may explain the remarkably frequent convergent evolution of C4 photosynthesis.

Arabidopsis lysozyme LYS1 generates soluble peptidoglycan fragments to mediate pattern-triggered immunity.

Two protein kinases are required to activate auxin efflux transporters from plants.
