A Series of Fortunate Events: Introducing Chlamydomonas as a Reference OrganismFor close to 100 years, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been used as a reference organism for exploring cilia and organelle function, photosynthesis, and metabolism.
BREAKTHROUGH REPORTS
Three-Dimensional Time-Lapse Analysis Reveals Multiscale Relationships in Maize Root Systems with Contrasting ArchitecturesTime-lapse 3D imaging, computer vision, and mathematical modeling were used to quantify the root system architectures of three maize genotypes as they grew in complexity from a few to many roots.
Ribonucleoprotein Capture by in Vivo Expression of a Designer Pentatricopeptide Repeat Protein in ArabidopsisArtificial proteins built from consensus PPR motifs bind the intended RNA in vivo and can be used as RNA affinity tags to purify endogenous RNPs and identify the bound proteins.

Emergent Protective Organogenesis in Date Palms: A Morpho-Devo-Dynamic Adaptive Strategy during Early DevelopmentDate palm uses unique developmental modes to protect its embryo and organs by pausing development during germination and confining developing organs within a multilayered structure in early development
Danger-Associated Peptides Interact with PIN-Dependent Local Auxin Distribution to Inhibit Root Growth in ArabidopsisPlant elicitor peptide signaling controls local auxin accumulation in the root transition zone via the auxin efflux carriers PIN2 and PIN3 to inhibit root growth in response to pathogen attack.
The AP2/ERF Transcription Factor TINY Modulates Brassinosteroid-Regulated Plant Growth and Drought Responses in ArabidopsisThe AP2/ERF family transcription factor TINY is regulated by brassinosteroid signaling and coordinates brassinosteroid-regulated plant growth and drought responses.
TTL Proteins Scaffold Brassinosteroid Signaling Components at the Plasma Membrane to Optimize Signal Transduction in ArabidopsisPlant-specific TTL proteins function as positive regulators of BR responses likely by bringing together signaling components at the plasma membrane.
The Second Site Modifier, Sympathy for the ligule, Encodes a Homolog of Arabidopsis ENHANCED DISEASE RESISTANCE4 and Rescues the Liguleless narrow Maize MutantAllelic variation at Sympathy for the ligule affects growth and development of Liguleless narrow maize mutants.
Chloroplast Outer Membrane β-Barrel Proteins Use Components of the General Import ApparatusChloroplast outer membrane proteins with β-barrel-shaped transmembrane domains are sorted to the chloroplasts by amino-terminal transit peptides and/or intrinsic targeting information, but in both cases the proteins use the general import apparatus that also serves proteins destined for the interior compartments of the chloroplast.
Arabidopsis DGD1 SUPPRESSOR1 Is a Subunit of the Mitochondrial Contact Site and Cristae Organizing System and Affects Mitochondrial BiogenesisDGS1 is an outer membrane component of MICOS that plays a role in lipid homeostasis in plant organelles, organelle biogenesis, and morphology.
AtTRAPPC11/ROG2: A Role for TRAPPs in Maintenance of the Plant Trans-Golgi Network/Early Endosome Organization and FunctionA previously unknown Arabidopsis TRAPPIII member, AtTRAPPC11/ROG2, regulates TGN/EE trafficking, organization, and abiotic stress responses.
Transcriptional Repression of the APC/C Activator Genes CCS52A1/A2 by the Mediator Complex Subunit MED16 Controls Endoreduplication and Cell Growth in ArabidopsisCell enlargement and nuclear genome replication in the absence of mitosis involve the transcriptional repression of Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome activator genes by a Mediator complex subunit.
Pectin Methylesterases Modulate Plant Homogalacturonan Status in Defenses against the Aphid Myzus persicaeThe role of homogalacturonan status modulated by PME/PMEI13 is a central component of the early defense responses of Arabidopsis against infestation by the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae.
