Light induces Phytochrome B SUMOylation to recruit the immune regulator NPR1 in nuclear condensates to control immunity in plants

Srayan Ghosh, Shraboni Ghosh, Mansi Mansi, Xian Long, Lisa Clark, Anjil Kumar Srivastava, Sumesh M. Kakkunnath, Beatriz Orosa‐Puente, Mark Bailey, Prakash Kumar Bhagat, Catherine Gough, Cunjin Zhang, Miguel de Lucas, Ari Sadanandom

The paper shows light-induced SUMOylation of Phytochrome B recruits NPR1 to nuclear condensates, elevating SA levels to control plant immunity, with SA also maintaining this process in darkness.

Novel repressors of cambium activity in Arabidopsis

Xing Wang, Jingyi Han, Emma K Turley, Riikka Mäkilä, Anne-Maarit Bågman, Julia M Kraus, Qing He, Hanan Alhowty, Joanna Edwards, Yuqi Li, Raluca Blasciuc, Wiktoria Fatz, Wenbin Wei, Miguel de Lucas, Siobhán M. Brady, , J. Peter Etchells

The paper identifies three homeodomain zinc-finger transcription factors that repress cambium activity in Arabidopsis by inhibiting auxin, cytokinin, and TDIF-PXY target genes.
