Synthetic activation of gibberellin signaling reveals spatial coordination of root growth

The paper develops a synthetic GA system to study spatial coordination of GA signaling in root growth, showing its necessity across multiple cell layers.

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

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

In Vitro Dynamic and Quantitative Monitoring of Strigolactone-signaling Complex Formation by Time-resolved FRET

This paper develops a TR-FRET-based assay to monitor SL signaling complex formation and reveals kinetic differences among SL analogs and the effect of tolfenamic acid.

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

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.

Radicle growth regulation of root parasitic plants by auxin-related compounds

This study investigates auxin's role in radicle growth of root parasitic plants and shows that auxin manipulation can inhibit their growth.
