In vivo imaging uncovers an abundant but rarely active pool of plant ARP2/3 and its link to exocytosis and endocytosis

The paper uses live-cell imaging to show that plant ARP2/3 complexes exist in a large, dynamic, and mostly inactive pool, with functional links to exocytosis and endocytosis.

Endogenous and environmentally modulated leaf shape plasticity in Boquila trifoliolata: how good is the evidence for mimicry?

This study investigates leaf shape plasticity in Boquila trifoliolata and finds no evidence linking leaf shape to host presence, suggesting mimicry claims may result from environmental factors and misinterpretation.

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

Arabidopsis exocyst complex subunit EXO70E2 in defence against Pseudomonas syringae in conjunction with autophagy

The paper shows EXO70E2, an Arabidopsis exocyst subunit, is involved in defense against Pseudomonas syringae through autophagy.

Loss of PR1 function enhances Arabidopsis resistance to Botrytis cinerea

This study shows that loss of PR1 function in Arabidopsis enhances resistance to Botrytis cinerea but increases susceptibility to Pseudomonas syringae.

Division of labor between seed plant RAB GDI paralogs: insights from genetic analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper investigates the functional roles of RAB GDI paralogs in Arabidopsis thaliana through genetic and developmental analyses, revealing their distinct contributions to vegetative growth and reproduction.

MILDEW RESISTANCE LOCUS O (MLO) proteins function as trimeric inward calcium channels

This study identifies MLO proteins as trimeric inward calcium channels, revealing their structural and functional mechanisms for calcium influx in plants.

A Rab-Kinesin12-Fused kinase module couples vesicle delivery and phragmoplast remodelling during cytokinesis in Arabidopsis

Evolutionary analysis of the exocyst in streptophytes links EXO70 diversification to dominance over SEC3 in membrane targeting

This study traces the evolutionary diversification of EXO70 in streptophytes, showing its origin in the common ancestor of land plants and its functional specialization in membrane targeting.

Systematic Analysis of the EXO70 Gene Family in Kiwifruit Species: Evolutionary Selection and Potential Functions in Plant Immunity

This study systematically analyzes the EXO70 gene family in kiwifruit species, revealing evolutionary patterns and potential roles in plant immunity through interactions with RIN4_1.

Salicylic acid accumulation correlates with low anthocyanin production in Arabidopsis

This study shows that high endogenous salicylic acid (SA) correlates with reduced anthocyanin production in Arabidopsis under anthocyanin-inducible conditions, and that SA signaling, not biosynthesis, is responsible for this inhibition.

The Arabidopsis Class I formin AtFH5 contributes to seedling resistance to salt stress.

This study identifies AtFH5 as a key contributor to Arabidopsis seedling salt tolerance by showing its role in NaCl stress response and subcellular regulation.

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.
