The Sulfated PSY Peptide Negatively Regulates Receptor Kinase Activity to Promote Growth

Devin V. Tulio, Alexandra M. Shigenaga, Dawn Lim, Artur Teixeira de Araújo, Shu‐Zon Wu, Pamela C. Ronald, Magdalena Bezanilla

In Physcomitrium patens, genetic evidence suggests sulfated PSY peptide binding inactivates its receptor kinases rather than activating them; kinase-dead receptors rescue tpst mutants, while receptor overexpression phenocopies loss of sulfation.

INDETERMINATE DOMAIN-DELLA protein interactions orchestrate gibberellin-mediated cell elongation in wheat and barley

Patrycja Sokolowska, Matthias Jost, Wolfram Buss, Brett Ford, Peter Michael Chandler, Wolfgang Spielmeyer, Andrew L. Phillips, Alison K. Huttly, Danuše Tarkowská, Rocío Alarcón‐Reverte, Suzanne J. Clark, Stephen P. Pearce, Peter Hedden, Stephen G. Thomas

Wheat IDD5 and barley SDW3, orthologous zinc-finger transcription factors, bind DELLA proteins and promote gibberellin (GA)-driven elongation; their loss-of-function mutants are GA-insensitive semi-dwarfs resembling Rht-D1b.

Spatial and single-cell expression analyses reveal complex expression domains in early wheat spike development

Xiaosa Xu, Huiqiong Lin, Junli Zhang, Germán Burguener, Francine Paraiso, Kun Li, Connor Tumelty, Chengxia Li, Yuchen Liu, Jorge Dubcovsky

Combining 99-gene smFISH across 48,225 cells with scRNA-seq of 26,009 cells maps 21 spatial expression domains and imputes 74,464 genes in early tetraploid wheat spikes.
