Monitoring of drought stress and transpiration rate using proximal thermal and hyperspectral imaging in an indoor automated plant phenotyping platform

This study evaluates the use of thermal and hyperspectral imaging to monitor drought stress and transpiration rate in maize using an automated phenotyping platform.

Chromatin attachment to the nuclear matrix represses hypocotyl elongation in Arabidopsis thaliana

This study shows that the nuclear matrix binding protein AHL22, along with FRS7 and FRS12, represses hypocotyl elongation in Arabidopsis by suppressing SAUR gene expression through chromatin attachment and histone deacetylation.

Modulation of the DA1 pathway in maize shows that translatability of information from Arabidopsis to crops is complex

The paper investigates the DA1 pathway in maize to assess if findings from Arabidopsis can be translated, finding limited organ size changes in mutants.

Non-specific effects of a CINNAMATE-4-HYDROXYLASE inhibitor on auxin homeostasis

This study shows that a C4H inhibitor, piperonylic acid, affects auxin homeostasis by interfering with auxin conjugation through GH3.6, leading to increased cellular auxin levels and altered plant growth.

Identification of new growth regulators using cross-species network analysis in plants

Cross-species network analysis identifies and validates new growth regulators in Arabidopsis by integrating transcriptional networks and functional orthologs.

SAMBA controls the rate of cell division in maize development through APC/C interaction

This study shows that SAMBA regulates cell division rate in maize by interacting with APC/C, with different alleles causing varying growth defects due to altered protein function.

O-glycosylation regulates plant developmental transitions downstream of miR156

This study shows that O-glycosylation, specifically O-fucosylation, regulates plant developmental transitions in Arabidopsis thaliana, independent of miR156 but dependent on SPLs.

Distinct Cellular Strategies Determine Sensitivity to Mild Drought of Arabidopsis Natural Accessions

This paper identifies distinct cellular strategies in Arabidopsis accessions that determine their sensitivity to mild drought, highlighting stomatal closure and cell expansion as key factors.

Nighttime gibberellin biosynthesis is influenced by fluctuating environmental conditions and contributes to growth adjustments of Arabidopsis leaves.

This study shows that nighttime gibberellin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis is influenced by carbon availability and environmental conditions, affecting leaf growth.

SlKIX8 and SlKIX9 are negative regulators of leaf and fruit growth in tomato

This study identifies SlKIX8 and SlKIX9 as negative regulators of leaf and fruit growth in tomato, with loss-of-function mutants showing enlarged organs due to increased cell expansion.

The deubiquitinating enzymes UBP12 and UBP13 negatively regulate the activity of the ubiquitin-dependent peptidases DA1, DAR1 and DAR2

The paper shows that UBP12 and UBP13 deubiquitinate DA1, DAR1, and DAR2, reducing their activity and affecting plant growth and development.

Early mannitol-triggered changes in the Arabidopsis leaf (phospho)proteome

The paper analyzes early proteome and phosphoproteome changes in Arabidopsis under mild mannitol stress and identifies AHA2 and CRRSP38 as novel regulators of shoot growth under osmotic stress.

Ubiquitylation activates a peptidase that promotes cleavage and destabilization of its activating E3 ligases and diverse growth regulatory proteins to limit cell proliferation in Arabidopsis

The paper identifies DA1 as a ubiquitin-activated peptidase in Arabidopsis that cleaves and destabilizes E3 ligases and growth regulatory proteins to limit cell proliferation during organ development.
