Interacting with both sides Nat. Plants (IF 18.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-11 Guillaume Tena
Asymmetric division is a fundamental biological process that both ensures existing tissue maintenance and also creates new cell types. It is necessary to establish correct patterning, an important characteristic for stomata. In this lineage, many intracellular factors influence development, including receptors, MAP kinases, peptides, transcription factors, scaffolding proteins and so on. Several of

Petunias have trumpet-shaped flowers with fused petals that form a long corolla tube and an expanded corolla limb at the front. Flower buds are elongated before anthesis and harbour a similarly elongated immature pistil. Upon anthesis, the corolla limb opens and the stigma matures. Terpene synthase 1 (TPS1) is expressed in the corolla tube and synthesizes sesquiterpenes that are required for stigma

Lignin strips in glandular trichomes Nat. Plants (IF 18.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-08 Igor Cesarino, Dyoni M. Oliveira
Compartmentalization of specialized compounds in glandular trichomes is essential for plant protection against stresses and attraction of pollinators. This compartmentalization is achieved by the establishment of a lignin-based apoplastic barrier named ‘neck strip’, which is present in trichomes of diverse plant species.

Plant high-affinity K+ transporters (HKTs) play a pivotal role in maintaining the balance of Na+ and K+ ions in plants, thereby influencing plant growth under K+-depleted conditions and enhancing tolerance to salinity stress. Here we report the cryo-electron microscopy structures of Oryza sativa HKT2;1 and HKT2;2/1 at overall resolutions of 2.5 Å and 2.3 Å, respectively. Both transporters adopt a dimeric

The slow response of auxin signalling is not conserved in streptophyte algae, hence the molecular basis for their known responsiveness to auxin remained unclear. Recently, it became evident that components of the fast response, namely the auxin receptors AUXIN BINDING PROTEIN 1 (ABP1) and its homologs as well as the interacting TRANSMEMBRANE KINASE 1 (TMK1), are conserved and are therefore probably
