Sex Determination by Two Y-Linked Genes in Garden AsparagusY chromosome in garden asparagus determines sex via two Y-linked genes, one that suppresses female pistil development and another that promotes male anther development.
A General Method for Quantification and Discovery of Acyl Groups Attached to Acyl Carrier Proteins in Fatty Acid Metabolism Using LC-MS/MSAcyl-ACPs that enable fatty acid biosynthesis were uniquely profiled and quantified, resulting in discovery of novel ACP products with unknown function and providing a method for rigorous comparisons.
Phosphorus Availability Regulates TORC1 Signaling via LST8 in ChlamydomonasPhosphorus regulates TORC1 signaling in the model green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii through the TOR-interacting protein LST8 and the global transcriptional regulator of phosphorus deficiency PSR1.
Leaf Variegation and Impaired Chloroplast Development Caused by a Truncated CCT Domain Gene in albostrians BarleyLeaf variegation in the barley mutant albostrians is caused by mutation of a single CCT–domain containing gene with residual activity, which is directed to the chloroplast.
OPENER Is a Nuclear Envelope and Mitochondria Localized Protein Required for Cell Cycle Progression in ArabidopsisThe evolutionarily conserved Arabidopsis protein OPENER localizes to the nuclear envelope and mitochondria and is required for cell cycle progression in developing seeds and seedling meristems.
Plant Extracellular Vesicles Contain Diverse Small RNA Species and Are Enriched in 10- to 17-Nucleotide “Tiny” RNAsThe extracellular space of Arabidopsis leaves contains diverse small RNAs, both inside and outside of extracellular vesicles, with the former being enriched in 10- to 17-nucleotide–long “tiny” RNAs.
The Peroxidative Cleavage of Kaempferol Contributes to the Biosynthesis of the Benzenoid Moiety of Ubiquinone in PlantsGenetic and biochemical evidence shows that Arabidopsis and tomato can derive the ubiquinone precursor 4-hydroxybenzoate from the B-ring of kaempferol.
Chloroplast Acetyltransferase NSI Is Required for State Transitions in Arabidopsis thalianaNSI is an active chloroplast Lys acetyltransferase required for state transitions in Arabidopsis independently of LHCII phosphorylation.
An m6A-YTH Module Controls Developmental Timing and Morphogenesis in ArabidopsisThe N6-methyladenosine RNA binding proteins ECT2, ECT3, and ECT4 are required for the correct timing of leaf formation and correct leaf and trichome morphogenesis.
Pathogen Trojan Horse Delivers Bioactive Host Protein to Alter Maize Anther Cell Behavior in SituMaize ZmMAC1 protein delivered to the apoplast by the smut pathogen Ustilago maydis cell-autonomously corrects both somatic cell division and differentiation defects in Zmmac1-1 mutant anthers.
