Integration of multi-omics and deep phenotyping provides novel insights into multiple abiotic stress responses in potato

The paper integrates multi-omics and phenotyping data to identify molecular signatures of potato responses to abiotic stresses.

The dimorphic diaspore model Aethionema arabicum (Brassicaceae): Distinct molecular and morphological control of responses to parental and germination temperatures

The paper investigates how parental and germination temperatures affect molecular and morphological responses in dimorphic diaspores of Aethionema arabicum, identifying gene expression and hormonal differences that regulate dormancy and germination.

AAO2 impairment improves aldehyde detoxification by AAO3 in Arabidopsis leaves exposed to UVC or Rose Bengal.

This study shows that AAO2 deficiency enhances AAO3 aldehyde detoxification in Arabidopsis, improving stress resistance.

Cytokinins control secondary cell wall formation in the inflorescence stem of Arabidopsis

This study shows cytokinins suppress premature secondary cell wall formation in Arabidopsis by downregulating NAC transcription factors, affecting tracheary element size and conductivity.

Conjugation of cis-OPDA with amino acids is a conserved pathway affecting cis-OPDA homeostasis upon stress responses

This study identifies OPDA-amino acid conjugates as a conserved mechanism for regulating cis-OPDA homeostasis in plants during stress responses.

Phytochromes mediate germination inhibition under red, far-red, and white light in Aethionema arabicum

The study identifies a phytochrome chromophore biosynthesis mutant in Aethionema arabicum, showing phytochromes mediate light inhibition of seed germination and influence plant morphology.

TOR kinase controls Arabidopsis shoot development by translational repression of cytokinin catabolic enzymes

This study shows that TOR kinase represses cytokinin catabolic enzyme translation, thereby regulating trans-zeatin levels and shoot development in Arabidopsis.

Pectin remodeling belongs to a homeostatic system and triggers transcriptomic and hormonal modulations

The paper investigates how pectin methylesterification status affects seed-to-seedling transition by altering transcriptomic and hormonal profiles in Arabidopsis.

Local brassinosteroid biosynthesis enables optimal root growth

This study shows that local brassinosteroid biosynthesis in the root elongation zone supports optimal root growth by creating a hormone concentration gradient that aligns with signaling maxima.

The auxin transporter PIN1 and the cytokinin transporter AZG1 interact to regulate the root stress response

This study identifies AZG1 as a cytokinin transporter that interacts with PIN1, an auxin transporter, to regulate root system architecture in response to environmental stress.

ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR 115 integrates jasmonate and cytokinin signaling machineries to repress adventitious rooting in Arabidopsis

The paper identifies ERF115 as a transcription factor that integrates jasmonate and cytokinin signaling to repress adventitious rooting in Arabidopsis.

Cytokinin fluoroprobe and receptor CRE1/AHK4 localize to both plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum

The paper shows cytokinin receptors and fluoroprobes localize to both plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum, suggesting multiple perception sites for cytokinin signaling.

A novel model plant to study the light control of seed germination

The paper identifies Aethionema arabicum as a model plant for studying light-inhibited seed germination, revealing antipodal transcriptional regulation of hormone balance compared to Arabidopsis.

Cellulose biosynthesis inhibition reduces cell cycle activity in a nitrate reductase- and cytokinin-dependent manner

The paper investigates how cellulose biosynthesis inhibition affects cell cycle activity in Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings, showing a nitrate reductase- and cytokinin-dependent response.

Cytokinin signaling in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
