Target of Rapamycin Inhibition in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Triggers de Novo Amino Acid Synthesis by Enhancing Nitrogen AssimilationTOR inhibition leads to an immediate and substantial accumulation of amino acids, which is driven by an increase in nitrogen assimilation and amino acid synthesis.
Predicting Division Planes of Three-Dimensional Cells by Soap-Film MinimizationA model based on three-dimensional cell shape successfully predicts the division planes of plant and animal cells, confirming a century-old hypothesis.
Spatiotemporal Monitoring of Pseudomonas syringae Effectors via Type III Secretion Using Split Fluorescent Protein FragmentsUsing the split GFP system to monitor type III effectors secreted from bacteria into plant cells.
Direct and Indirect Visualization of Bacterial Effector Delivery into Diverse Plant Cell Types during InfectionThe GFP strand system enables spatial and temporal visualization of bacterial effector delivery during infection.
Lost in Transit: Long-Distance Trafficking and Phloem Unloading of Protein Signals in Arabidopsis HomograftsIn Arabidopsis homografts, proteins carrying organelle-targeting signals move from companion cells to sieve elements and traffic across the graft union to target the correct organelle in the root.
Morphogenic Regulators Baby boom and Wuschel Improve Monocot TransformationUsing the maize Bbm and Wus2 genes enhances transformation efficiency in maize and other monocots, broadens the genotype range, and permits transformation of mature seed-derived embryos and leaf segments.
Synergism between Inositol Polyphosphates and TOR Kinase Signaling in Nutrient Sensing, Growth Control, and Lipid Metabolism in ChlamydomonasA mutation in a Chlamydomonas inositol kinase sensitizes cells to inhibition of TOR kinase signaling in a carbon source-dependent manner and uncouples lipid accumulation from starvation signals.
Transcript Abundance Explains mRNA Mobility Data in Arabidopsis thalianaA simple computational model shows that movement of most mRNA transcripts into sieve elements likely is based on non-sequence-specific parameters, including mRNA abundance, half-life, and transcript length.
Diatom Phytochromes Reveal the Existence of Far-Red-Light-Based Sensing in the OceanDiatom phytochromes (DPH) display high sensitivity to far-red light in the far-red poor aquatic environment, opening new perspectives on signaling mechanisms in the marine realm.
