Mechanisms controlling the plasma membrane targeting and the nanodomain organization of the plant SPFH protein HIR2

This study identifies S-acylation and oligomerization as key factors controlling HIR2 plasma membrane targeting and nanodomain organization in Arabidopsis.

Sphingolipid-driven interleaflet coupling orchestrates Rho-GTPase recruitment to nanodomains for signal activation in plants

The paper shows sphingolipid-driven interleaflet coupling organizes nanodomains and activates Rho-GTPase in plants, linking membrane asymmetry to signaling.

Actin Counters Geometry to Guide Plant Cell Division

The paper shows actin cytoskeleton integrates spatial information to guide cell division orientation in Arabidopsis root epidermis, deviating from geometric rules.

Identification of INOSITOL PHOSPHORYLCERAMIDE SYNTHASE 2 (IPCS2) as a new rate-limiting component in Arabidopsis pathogen entry control

This study identifies IPCS2 as a key enzyme in sphingolipid biosynthesis that regulates polar secretion of PEN3 to block fungal entry in Arabidopsis.

Root Expansion Microscopy (ROOT-ExM): A streamlined super resolution method for plants

ROOT-ExM achieves super-resolution expansion microscopy in plants, enabling isotropic expansion and nanoscale visualization of cellular structures in Arabidopsis thaliana.
