Hormone-dependent receptor docking controls calcium channel activity in plants

This study identifies auxin-induced interaction between AFB1 receptor and CNGC14 calcium channel, revealing a novel mechanism for calcium influx and growth inhibition in plants.

A plasmodesmata-specific exocyst complex regulates symplastic connectivity by affecting callose turnover

CRK2 controls the spatiotemporal distribution of QSK1 at plasma membrane during osmotic stress

This study shows CRK2 phosphorylates and sequesters QSK1 at the plasma membrane, preventing callose deposition at plasmodesmata under normal conditions, and its dephosphorylation allows QSK1 relocalization during osmotic stress.

Cytosolic Ca2+ as a universal signal for rapid root growth regulation

The paper shows that cytosolic Ca2+ acts as a universal signal for rapid root growth regulation in response to various stimuli.

Pattern-triggered immunity in blue and white seed cultivars of Papaver somniferum

This study investigates pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) in poppy cultivars using peptide elicitors and identifies marker genes for monitoring PTI responses.

A genome-wide association screen for genes affecting leaf trichome development and epidermal metal accumulation in Arabidopsis

The paper identifies 1546 gene loci associated with leaf trichome development and epidermal metal accumulation in Arabidopsis through GWAS, highlighting candidate genes and pathways.

Calcium-triggered apoplastic ROS bursts balance gravity and mechanical signals to navigate soil

The paper shows that calcium-triggered apoplastic ROS bursts balance gravity and mechanical signals to regulate root bending during soil navigation.

Armadillo Repeat Only Proteins Are Essential Activators of Plant CNGC Channels.

This study identifies ARO proteins as essential activators of plant CNGC channels, revealing their role in calcium signaling through interaction with the Calmodulin-binding IQ domain.

The Arabidopsis TTL3 protein interconnects brassinosteroid signalling and cytoskeleton during lateral root development

This study identifies TTL3 as a novel protein linking brassinosteroid signaling and cytoskeleton in lateral root development in Arabidopsis.
