LARGE-SCALE BIOLOGY ARTICLES
Exploiting the Genetic Diversity of Maize Using a Combined Metabolomic, Enzyme Activity Profiling, and Metabolic Modeling Approach to Link Leaf Physiology to Kernel YieldA metabolomic, biochemical, fluxomic, and metabolic modeling approach developed using 19 genetically distant maize lines links leaf physiology to kernel yield.
A Global Coexpression Network Approach for Connecting Genes to Specialized Metabolic Pathways in PlantsGlobal gene coexpression network analysis is a powerful approach for identifying known and novel plant-specialized metabolic pathways, irrespective of the genomic location of the constitutive genes.
Multi-Omics of Tomato Glandular Trichomes Reveals Distinct Features of Central Carbon Metabolism Supporting High Productivity of Specialized MetabolitesMulti-omics and stable isotope labeling applied to tomato glandular trichomes reveal unique features for the supply of energy, reducing power and carbon in these metabolic cell factories.
The Molecular Dialog between Flowering Plant Reproductive Partners Defined by SNP-Informed RNA-SequencingPollen- and pistil-specific patterns of gene expression were defined during Arabidopsis reproduction using single nucleotide polymorphism-informed RNA-seq analysis.
Tissue-Specific Transcriptomics Reveals an Important Role of the Unfolded Protein Response in Maintaining Fertility upon Heat Stress in ArabidopsisThis work reveals both the tissue-specific heat responsiveness of Arabidopsis at the reproductive stage and downstream genes of the UPR regulators important in maintaining fertility upon heat stress.
RESEARCH ARTICLES
ELF18-INDUCED LONG-NONCODING RNA Associates with Mediator to Enhance Expression of Innate Immune Response Genes in ArabidopsisThe lncRNA ELENA1 is positive regulator of plant immune response genes and regulates expression of its target gene, PR1, by promoting MED19a enrichment in the promoter.
Ethylene Regulates Differential Growth via BIG ARF-GEF-Dependent Post-Golgi Secretory Trafficking in ArabidopsisProtein trafficking machinery mediates transport of an auxin influx carrier to the plasma membrane to modulate differential growth in seedlings in response to ethylene.
Ethylene-Inhibited Jasmonic Acid Biosynthesis Promotes Mesocotyl/Coleoptile Elongation of Etiolated Rice SeedlingsEthylene inhibits the production of jasmonic acid to facilitate the emergence of rice seedlings from the soil.
A Two-Step Model for de Novo Activation of WUSCHEL during Plant Shoot RegenerationThe removal of repressive histone marks in a cytokinin-rich environment primes de novo activation of WUSCHEL by B-type ARABIDOPSIS RESPONSE REGULATORs and HD-ZIP III transcription factors.
Rice Homeodomain Protein WOX11 Recruits a Histone Acetyltransferase Complex to Establish Programs of Cell Proliferation of Crown Root MeristemRice WOX11 promotes crown root development by interacting with a histone acetylation complex to induce permissive chromatin of gene expression.
KNOTTED1 Cofactors, BLH12 and BLH14, Regulate Internode Patterning and Vein Anastomosis in MaizeMaize BLH transcription factors maintain the intercalary meristems to ensure sufficient internode elongation and prevent vein anastomosis to pattern the scattered veins in monocot stems.
Lateral Segregation of Photosystem I in Cyanobacterial ThylakoidsAtomic force microscopy, optical microscopy, and structural modeling reveal extensive macromolecular arrays of cyanobacterial PSI complexes that allow some intertrimer energy migration.
The Mitochondrial DNA-Associated Protein SWIB5 Influences mtDNA Architecture and Homologous RecombinationSWIB5 can associate with DNA in mitochondria, where its proposed role in DNA repair and architecture might influence cell proliferation during development, suggesting that these processes are linked.
A Proteolytic Regulator Controlling Chalcone Synthase Stability and Flavonoid Biosynthesis in ArabidopsisA Kelch domain-containing F-box protein mediates degradation of chalcone synthase, by which it acts as a proteolytic regulator coordinately tuning flavonoid biosynthesis.
