Two-step polar plastid migration via F-actin and microtubules ensures unequal inheritance during asymmetric division of Arabidopsis zygote

Keigo Tada, Hikari Matsumoto, Takao Oi, Zichen Kang, Tomonobu Nonoyama, Satoru Tsugawa, Yusuke Kimata, Shuhei Kusano, Shinya Hagihara, Shintaro Ichikawa, Yutaka Kodama, Minako Ueda

The paper shows that plastids in Arabidopsis zygote undergo two-step migration via F-actin and microtubules, leading to unequal inheritance during asymmetric division.

Chemical genetics reveals cross-activation of plant developmental signaling by the immune peptide-receptor pathway

Arvid Herrmann, Krishna Mohan Sepuru, Hitoshi Endo, Ayami Nakagawa, Shuhei Kusano, Pengfei Bai, Asraa Ziadi, Hiroe Kato, Ayato Sato, Jun Liu, Libo Shan, Seisuke Kimura, Kenichiro Itami, Naoyuki Uchida, Shinya Hagihara, Keiko U. Torii

The paper identifies a small molecule that disrupts stomatal development by inhibiting a receptor-kinase pathway, showing cross-activation with immune signaling through MAP kinase interactions.
