Mapping the THESEUS1 interactome links cell wall integrity and stress signalling in Arabidopsis

This study identifies THE1 interactors to elucidate its role in cell wall integrity and stress signaling in Arabidopsis.

Unstructured regions differentially modulate the activation of RBOHD and RBOHH

The paper identifies unstructured regions in RBOHs that differentially regulate their activation in immune signaling and pollen tube growth.

CYSTEINE-RICH RLK2 regulates development via callose synthase-dependent symplastic transport in Arabidopsis

This study shows CRK2 regulates plant development by modulating callose synthase activity, affecting symplastic transport and leading to starch accumulation and growth defects in Arabidopsis.

Cytokinin-inducible DIRIGENT13 involved in lignan synthesis and ROS accumulation promotes root growth and abiotic stress tolerance in Arabidopsis

This study identifies DIRIGENT13's role in promoting root growth and abiotic stress tolerance through lignan synthesis and ROS accumulation in Arabidopsis.

The molecular architecture of the Arabidopsis callose synthase complex

This study characterizes the structure and function of the Arabidopsis callose synthase complex, revealing its trimeric architecture and molecular mechanisms of callose synthesis.

GCN5 restricts PRX-dependent lignin deposition during salt stress in Arabidopsis

This study shows GCN5 restricts PRX71/PRX33-mediated lignification during salt stress in Arabidopsis by modulating chromatin state and transcription factor activity.

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.

CRK2 modulates flowering in Arabidopsis together with GLYCINE- RICH RNA BINDING PROTEIN 7 (GRP7)

This study identifies CRK2 and GRP7 as regulators of flowering in Arabidopsis by modulating gibberellin signaling and integrating hormonal and spatial signals.

BBX transcription factor evolution in the green plant lineage

This study investigates the evolutionary history of BBX transcription factors across green plants, identifying structural groups, domain dynamics, and lineage-specific innovations.

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.

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.

RCD1 Coordinates Chloroplastic and Mitochondrial Electron Transfer through Interaction with ANAC Transcription Factors

The paper shows RCD1 interacts with ANAC transcription factors to regulate chloroplastic and mitochondrial retrograde signaling via ROS-dependent mechanisms.
