    Repeatless and Repeat-Based Centromeres in Potato: Implications for Centromere Evolution
    Zhiyun Gong, Yufeng Wu, Andrea Koblížková, Giovana A. Torres, Kai Wang, Marina Iovene, Pavel Neumann, Wenli Zhang, Petr Novák, C. Robin Buell, Jiří Macas, Jiming Jiang
    Plant Cell Sep 2012, 24 (9) 3559-3574; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.112.100511

    The authors used a genome-wide approach to identify the DNA sequences associated with the centromeres of potato chromosomes. Five potato centromeres are composed of single- or low-copy sequences, including active genes; six centromeres contain almost exclusively satellite repeats. The results have implications for evolution of repeat-based centromeres from repeatless centromeres.

    Failure of the Tomato Trans-Acting Short Interfering RNA Program to Regulate AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR3 and ARF4 Underlies the Wiry Leaf Syndrome
    Tamar Yifhar, Irena Pekker, Dror Peled, Gilgi Friedlander, Anna Pistunov, Moti Sabban, Guy Wachsman, John Paul Alvarez, Ziva Amsellem, Yuval Eshed
    Plant Cell Sep 2012, 24 (9) 3575-3589; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.112.100222

    Tomato mutants defective in ta-siRNA production have narrow shoestring leaves reminiscent of virus-infected plants. The tomato leaf phenotype is due to deregulated ARF gene expression, but ectopic expression of the same ARF genes in related species fails to recapitulate these developmental defects, analogous to species-specific viral infection symptoms.

    IAA-Ala Resistant3, an Evolutionarily Conserved Target of miR167, Mediates Arabidopsis Root Architecture Changes during High Osmotic Stress
    Natsuko Kinoshita, Huan Wang, Hiroyuki Kasahara, Jun Liu, Cameron MacPherson, Yasunori Machida, Yuji Kamiya, Matthew A. Hannah, Nam-Hai Chua
    Plant Cell Sep 2012, 24 (9) 3590-3602; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.112.097006

    When plants are subjected to water stress such as drought and high salt, they develop more lateral roots through reducing miRNA167 levels and indirectly increasing IAR3 mRNA levels. The increased IAR3 enzyme converts inactive auxin to the active form, which promotes root branching. This stress adaptation miRNA-mRNA pair is evolutionarily conserved.

    Mutations in the Arabidopsis H3K4me2/3 Demethylase JMJ14 Suppress Posttranscriptional Gene Silencing by Decreasing Transgene Transcription
    Ivan Le Masson, Vincent Jauvion, Nathalie Bouteiller, Maud Rivard, Taline Elmayan, Hervé Vaucheret
    Plant Cell Sep 2012, 24 (9) 3603-3612; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.112.103119

    This article reveals that the H3K4me2/3 demethylase JMJ14 likely is unable to demethylate transgene loci, thus promoting high levels of transcription, which favor the triggering of posttranscriptional transgene silencing. Removing JMJ14 may allow other H3K4 demethylases to reduce transgene transcription and prevent the triggering of posttranscriptional transgene silencing.

    Overexpression of Arabidopsis Plasmodesmata Germin-Like Proteins Disrupts Root Growth and Development
    Byung-Kook Ham, Gang Li, Byung-Ho Kang, Fanchang Zeng, William J. Lucas
    Plant Cell Sep 2012, 24 (9) 3630-3648; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.112.101063

    Plant cells communicate by movement of signaling agents through cytoplasmic bridges, termed plasmodesmata (PD). In this study, we characterize two members of the Germin-like protein family that are located within PD. PDGLP1/2 overexpression phenotypes had a reduction in primary root meristem size, likely due to their inability to form functional PD complexes.

    G Protein–Coupled Receptor-Type G Proteins Are Required for Light-Dependent Seedling Growth and Fertility in Arabidopsis
    Felix W. Jaffé, Gian-Enrico C. Freschet, Billy M. Valdes, John Runions, Matthew J. Terry, Lorraine E. Williams
    Plant Cell Sep 2012, 24 (9) 3649-3668; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.112.098681

    GTGs are highly conserved membrane proteins found in plants, animals, and fungi. Arabidopsis thaliana GTG1 is found in Golgi bodies and endoplasmic reticulum. GTG knockout mutants show defects in fertility, hypocotyl and root growth, and responses to light and sugars but respond normally to abscisic acid. These results show that Arabidopsis GTGs are fundamental to plant growth and development.

    Subunit Organization of a Synechocystis Hetero-Oligomeric Thylakoid FtsH Complex Involved in Photosystem II Repair
    Marko Boehm, Jianfeng Yu, Vendula Krynicka, Myles Barker, Martin Tichy, Josef Komenda, Peter J. Nixon, Jon Nield
    Plant Cell Sep 2012, 24 (9) 3669-3683; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.112.100891

    An important photoprotective mechanism in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria is the selective replacement of damaged protein subunits within the oxygen-evolving enzyme of photosynthesis. This work reports the purification of the cyanobacterial FtsH protease involved in this process and shows using electron microscopy that it is a hexamer consisting of two types of alternating subunits.

    Essential Role of VIPP1 in Chloroplast Envelope Maintenance in Arabidopsis
    Lingang Zhang, Yusuke Kato, Stephanie Otters, Ute C. Vothknecht, Wataru Sakamoto
    Plant Cell Sep 2012, 24 (9) 3695-3707; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.112.103606

    VIPP1 is a protein conserved among photosynthetic organisms. Although the precise role in chloroplasts remains unclear, VIPP1 has been proposed to play a role in thylakoid membrane biogenesis. This study involves an in-depth analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana vipp1 mutants and demonstrates that VIPP1 is rather required for envelope maintenance in chloroplasts.

    Capping Protein Modulates the Dynamic Behavior of Actin Filaments in Response to Phosphatidic Acid in Arabidopsis
    Jiejie Li, Jessica L. Henty-Ridilla, Shanjin Huang, Xia Wang, Laurent Blanchoin, Christopher J. Staiger
    Plant Cell Sep 2012, 24 (9) 3742-3754; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.112.103945

    Capping protein (CP) binds to the fast-growing ends of actin filaments and is negatively regulated by signaling lipids in vitro. This study demonstrates that the end-capping activity of CP is inhibited by membrane signaling phospholipids in living epidermal cells from Arabidopsis thaliana and that CP remodels the actin cytoskeleton in response to changes in these phospholipids.

    Novel Plant Immune-Priming Compounds Identified via High-Throughput Chemical Screening Target Salicylic Acid Glucosyltransferases in Arabidopsis
    Yoshiteru Noutoshi, Masateru Okazaki, Tatsuya Kida, Yuta Nishina, Yoshihiko Morishita, Takumi Ogawa, Hideyuki Suzuki, Daisuke Shibata, Yusuke Jikumaru, Atsushi Hanada, Yuji Kamiya, Ken Shirasu
    Plant Cell Sep 2012, 24 (9) 3795-3804; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.112.098343

    This study used high-throughput screening to identify five immune priming chemicals that potentiate but do not directly induce defense responses. These compounds inhibit salicylic acid (SA) glucosyltransferases and increase SA during pathogen infection. Thus, SA glucosylation can be a target for developing novel crop protectants.

    Two Direct Targets of Cytokinin Signaling Regulate Symbiotic Nodulation in Medicago truncatula
    Federico Ariel, Marianne Brault-Hernandez, Carole Laffont, Emeline Huault, Mathias Brault, Julie Plet, Michael Moison, Sandrine Blanchet, Jean Laurent Ichanté, Mireille Chabaud, Sébastien Carrere, Martin Crespi, Raquel L. Chan, Florian Frugier
    Plant Cell Sep 2012, 24 (9) 3838-3852; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1105/tpc.112.103267

    In legume plants, cytokinins are necessary and sufficient for symbiotic nodule organogenesis, allowing them to fix atmospheric nitrogen. Biochemical and reverse genetic approaches identified two transcription factors from the GRAS (NSP2) and bHLH families as direct targets of cytokinin signaling pathways in legume roots. These transcription factors act at the convergence of phytohormonal and nodulation symbiotic cues.
