This study examines autophagy dynamics and selectivity in Arabidopsis roots and shoots under stress, finding stronger autophagy in roots and distinct cargo selection patterns.

The paper shows that autophagy in root hair-forming cells of Arabidopsis is crucial for salt stress tolerance by enabling sodium sequestration.

This study shows auxin induces autophagy for developmental reprogramming in plants, linking it to gene expression and organogenesis.

This paper shows that salicylic acid restricts cell elongation and alters vacuolar morphology and pH, independent of NPR receptors and auxin signaling.

The paper shows that different ATG8 isoforms in Arabidopsis have specialized functions in autophagy, as demonstrated by a mutant lacking all nine isoforms and complementation experiments.
