Waiting to invade Nat. Plants (IF 18.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Catherine Walker
Collating herbarium records for nine broad geographic areas stretching back to the nineteenth century, and in some cases well beyond, the authors of this study found that of the plant species tested, 35% exhibited a lag time prior to expansion. The median lag length observed was 34 years. However, the most extreme lag length found in this study was that of the sycamore maple, which arrived in the UK

Partner needed for relationship Nat. Plants (IF 18.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Guillaume Tena
Calicotome villosa is a shrubby leguminous tree. Also known as spiny broom, its vivid yellow flowers and hairy pods can be spotted all around the Mediterranean climate regions. First, a large-scale quantitative field survey in Israel determined that the shrub, while quite common in general, was entirely absent in a few large regions, despite being well within its species range in terms of precipitation

However, the group of complex thalloid liverworts — which includes the model plant Marchantia polymorpha — innovated by developing specialized pegged rhizoids, in addition to already existing smooth rhizoids. Pegged rhizoids are basically empty tubes with thick cell walls, made of dead cells and assembled in external pseudovascular bundles along the midrib of the flat thallus. These structures somewhat

How RAFs accelerate streaming Nat. Plants (IF 18.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-09 Raphael Trösch
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

Using sequential genetic mapping based on segregating populations and near-isogenic lines derived from crosses between the highly GLS-resistant line Y32 and the GLS-susceptible line Q11, the researchers narrowed the region containing the resistant gene down to roughly 60 kilobases in Y32, a region containing only three genes. Two of the three encode WAKL proteins, ZmPR5L and ZmWAKL. Over-expressing

The faces of JANUS Nat. Plants (IF 18.0) Pub Date : 2023-12-22 Raphael Trösch
The homologues of Arabidopsis JANUS in yeast and humans are splicing factor 3B4 (SF3B4) and human sap homologue 49 (HSH49), respectively. Both bind to the U2 small nuclear RNA and participate in the assembly of the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein, a component of the spliceosome. However, in Arabidopsis, JANUS was previously found to recruit RNA polymerase II to WUSCHEL RELATED HOMEOBOX 2 (WOX2)
