Brassinosteroids: Multidimensional Regulators of Plant Growth, Development, and Stress ResponsesBrassinosteroids are a class of plant steroid hormones that are versatile regulators of growth, development, and responses to stresses such as extreme temperatures and drought.
LARGE-SCALE BIOLOGY ARTICLES
A PXY-Mediated Transcriptional Network Integrates Signaling Mechanisms to Control Vascular Development in ArabidopsisA feedforward loop that controls vascular development was uncovered by identifying a transcriptional network mediated by the receptor kinase PHLOEM INTERCALATED WITH XYLEM.
Fusarium virguliforme Transcriptional Plasticity Is Revealed by Host Colonization of Maize versus SoybeanTranscriptomic analysis of Fusarium virguliforme colonization revealed extensive rewiring of infection programs, leading to asymptomatic and symptomatic phenotypes in maize and soybean, respectively.
Reprogramming of Root Cells during Nitrogen-Fixing Symbiosis Involves Dynamic Polysome Association of Coding and Noncoding RNAsTRAP-seq analysis highlights the importance of translational control and mRNA decay for the successful establishment of the nitrogen-fixing symbiosis in the model legume Medicago truncatula.
RESEARCH ARTICLES
Nup96 and HOS1 Are Mutually Stabilized and Gate CONSTANS Protein Level, Conferring Long-Day Photoperiodic Flowering Regulation in ArabidopsisA nucleoporin interacts with an E3 ligase on the nuclear membrane, maintaining CONSTANS homeostasis and thereby controlling long-day photoperiodic flowering in Arabidopsis.
NONSTOP GLUMES1 Encodes a C2H2 Zinc Finger Protein That Regulates Spikelet Development in RiceNSG1, encoding a member of the C2H2 zinc finger protein family, plays a pivotal role in maintaining organ identities in the spikelet by repressing the expression of LHS1, DL, and MFO1.
The Ubiquitin-Binding Protein OsDSK2a Mediates Seedling Growth and Salt Responses by Regulating Gibberellin Metabolism in RiceThe ubiquitin-binding protein OsDSK2a modulates the level of the gibberellin metabolism regulator EUI to coordinate plant growth and salt-stress responses in rice.
Mediator Subunit MED25 Couples Alternative Splicing of JAZ Genes with Fine-Tuning of Jasmonate SignalingMED25 regulates the alternative splicing of JAZ genes through recruiting the splicing factors PRP39a and PRP40a, thereby preventing JAZ splice variant-mediated excessive desensitization of jasmonate signaling.
A Sugar Transporter Takes Up both Hexose and Sucrose for Sorbitol-Modulated In Vitro Pollen Tube Growth in AppleA sugar transporter protein, STP13a, mediates the uptake of both hexose and Suc for in vitro pollen tube growth in apple, with its expression regulated by sorbitol via a MYB transcription factor.
Multiple Quality Control Mechanisms in the ER and TGN Determine Subcellular Dynamics and Salt-Stress Tolerance Function of KORRIGAN1A concerted function of multiple sequence motifs in Arabidopsis KORRIGAN1 protein determines its destination in the secretory pathway and physiological function.
A Tripartite Interaction among the Basidiomycete Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, N2-Fixing Endobacteria, and Rice Improves Plant Nitrogen NutritionAn interkingdom interaction between the endophytic red yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and diazotrophic endobacteria improves N nutrition in rice.
The Transcription Factor bHLH121 Interacts with bHLH105 (ILR3) and Its Closest Homologs to Regulate Iron Homeostasis in ArabidopsisbHLH121 acts upstream of the iron homeostasis regulatory network and directly regulates the expression of the large majority of genes encoding proteins and peptides involved in this regulatory cascade.
