01
Zeyu Jin, Zhen Yan
Chloroplasts, the photosynthetic organelles of plants and algae, rely on the import of thousands of nuclear-encoded proteins to sustain their diverse physiological roles. This process is mediated by the coordinated action of the transloc...
03
Hiraku Suda, Takuma Hagihara, Satoshi Ogawa et al.
Plants generate long-range signals via complex mechanisms that integrate electrical, calcium, and chemical signals. While animals employ synaptic/neural connections for cell–cell and organ–organ signal transduction, plants depend on spec...
04
Yansong Miao, Yanning Wang, Eden Vina Lamoste Grate et al.
Biomolecular condensates have emerged as versatile regulators of plant cellular processes, offering a dynamic and reversible mechanism to coordinate development, stress response, and spatial organization. Through phase separation, these ...
06
Veli Vural Uslu, Athanasios Dalakouras, Lina Sueselbeck et al.
RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a promising approach to sustainable crop protection. Extensive proof-of-concept studies have led to the approval of the first sprayable plant protection products in the United States and China, with...

The Power of Symbiosis in Life and Science

Open DOI
Eva Kondorosi
This article traces more than four decades of Eva Kondorosi's personal life and scientific journey in symbiotic nitrogen fixation, from early insights into nitrogenase structure to the molecular mechanisms governing root nodule developme...

Spatial Regulation of the Plant Circadian Clock

Open DOI
Ho-Wei Wu, James C.W. Locke
The plant circadian clock enables the precise timing of physiological processes across the day–night cycle by generating endogenous 24-h rhythms in gene expression. In Arabidopsis , an iteration between experiments and modeling has uncov...

Gravity Sensing for Gravitropism

Open DOI
Miyo Terao Morita, Takeshi Nishimura, Hiromasa Shikata
Gravitropism allows plants to reorient their growth along the gravity vector by sensing and responding to changes in orientation. This review summarizes recent advances in elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying gravity sensing a...
