Salt stress disrupts the coordination between root and shoot growth in Arabidopsis, and the gene SR3G acts as a negative regulator of root suberization, shoot growth, and sodium accumulation, thereby reducing plant salt resilience.
Plants possess sophisticated mechanisms to sense and respond to gravity, which are crucial for their growth, development, and adaptation.
TWA1 is a temperature-sensing transcriptional co-regulator that is essential for basal and acquired thermotolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Elevated CO2 leads to a global decrease in the mineral composition of Arabidopsis thaliana plants, but natural genetic variation allows for a wide range of responses, from negative to positive effects.
Pectin demethylation status is a key determinant for the perception and signaling output of the plant peptide hormone RALF1 via the receptor FERONIA.
The IDA peptide signaling pathway regulates both developmental cell separation processes and immune responses in Arabidopsis, ensuring optimal protection of cells undergoing separation that are vulnerable to pathogen attack.
OsNF-YB7 acts as a transcriptional repressor to inhibit chlorophyll biosynthesis in rice embryo by interacting with OsGLK1.
TRAPPII phosphostatus influences adaptive responses to stress cues.
Identification of BCP1-4 as functional counterparts of MDC1 in plant DDR.
The author explores how elevated temperatures affect centromere structure and chromosome segregation during meiosis in Arabidopsis, leading to reduced fertility. The study reveals that heat stress impacts the efficiency of kinetochore attachments to spindle microtubules, highlighting a critical bottleneck in plant adaptation to rising temperatures.
