Leaf variegation has long been recognized as a genetic trait, but the question remains as to why and how green and white sectors are formed in the same leaf in a uniform genetic background. In this work, identification of trans-acting mutations that suppress leaf variegation in an Arabidopsis mutant demonstrates a mechanism for variegation associated with chloroplast activities.

The protective role of a plant's cuticle in abiotic stress and biotic interactions depends on its permeability.

E3 ubiquitin ligases target proteins for ubiquitin proteasome–mediated degradation, with substrate specificity conferred by F-box protein subunits. Plants have apparently recruited F-box proteins of the C subfamily to regulate phytohormone responses, axillary branching, and senescence, and this study suggests that VIER F-BOX PROTEINE family members function in lateral root formation and plant growth.

Arabidopsis cyclin-dependent kinase CDKC;2 and its cyclin T partner CYCT1;5 encode two interacting proteins that form a complex with an important role in cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) infection.

The widely distributed DEGP proteases play important roles in the degradation of damaged and misfolded proteins. This report reveals that Arabidopsis DEG5 and DEG8 form a hexamer in the thylakoid lumen and are important for efficient turnover of the photosystem II D1 protein and for protection against photoinhibition in vivo.

In plants, the proper decision to germinate is critical for plant survival. Light promotes seed germination by removing PIL5, a phytochrome-interacting light-labile bHLH transcription factor. It is shown here that PIL5 regulates gibberellin (GA) signaling genes by directly binding to their promoters and that PIL5-mediated light signaling regulates not only GA but also abscisic acid metabolism.

Gibberellic acid (GA) responses are repressed by proteins with a DELLA domain, which is essential for GA-dependent proteasomal degradation of the DELLA repressors. This work reveals that DELLA domain mutations described for a range of dwarfing alleles impair GA receptor interactions and that the DELLA domain of the repressor GIBBERELLIC ACID INSENSITIVE is sufficient for this interaction.

This study reveals that a component of the peroxisomal membrane antioxidant system called MDAR4 is required for triacylglycerol breakdown and therefore postgerminative growth in the oilseed Arabidopsis. Evidence is presented to suggest that this system protects the oil body lipase SDP1 against hydrogen peroxide that is generated within the peroxisome as a by-product of fatty acid β-oxidation.

Leaf senescence involves degradation of photosynthetic pigments, proteins, and chloroplasts.

This work finds that defects in a possible chlorophyll b reductase, the first enzyme in chlorophyll b degradation, inhibit LHCII and grana degradation in leaf senescence and result in a stay-green phenotype, suggesting that chlorophyll b degradation might be an important regulatory point in leaf senescence.

The protective role of a plant's cuticle in abiotic stress and biotic interactions depends on its permeability. These results suggest that the transcription factor WAX INDUCER1 controls cuticle formation by directly or collaboratively activating the transcription of cutin biosynthesis genes and modulates cuticle permeability through its influence on cutin composition.

In plants, the proper decision to germinate is critical for plant survival. Light promotes seed germination by removing PIL5, a phytochrome-interacting light-labile bHLH transcription factor. It is shown here that PIL5 regulates gibberellin (GA) signaling genes by directly binding to their promoters and that PIL5-mediated light signaling regulates not only GA but also abscisic acid metabolism.

Legume/rhizobial symbiosis is a key player in the global nitrogen cycle by fixing atmospheric nitrogen. Recognition of bacteria by legumes requires the bacterial signaling molecule Nod factor, which induces early plant root responses in nodulation. This work identifies the transcription factor ERF Required for Nodulation as an important component of the Nod factor signal transduction pathway.

E3 ubiquitin ligases target proteins for ubiquitin proteasome–mediated degradation, with substrate specificity conferred by F-box protein subunits. Plants have apparently recruited F-box proteins of the C subfamily to regulate phytohormone responses, axillary branching, and senescence, and this study suggests that VIER F-BOX PROTEINE family members function in lateral root formation and plant growth.

As shown here, the similar calcium binding proteins SCABP8 and SOS3 protect shoot and root tissues, respectively, from salt stress by activating and recruiting the SOS2 kinase, but they also differ in additional regulatory mechanisms specific to each protein.
