A HAT7/ATHB13/Brassinosteroid signaling module mediates growth of laticifer cells in Euphorbia lathyris
Laticifers, the coenocytic cells responsible for latex production, represent one of the most extreme examples of continuous and polarized growth in plants. Their unique architecture, extending over large distances, requires tight coordin...

The energy sensor SnRK1 promotes starvation-induced autophagosome formation by modulating ATG13a phosphorylation in Arabidopsis
In eukaryotes, autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved cellular degradation and recycling process that is tightly associated with cellular nutrient status. The energy sensor SNF1-RELATED KINASE 1 (SnRK1) is thought to sense nutrient sta...

From stress perception to metabolite disposition: dynamic regulation of stilbene biosynthesis in plants
Stilbenes are inducible plant specialized metabolites, best exemplified by resveratrol, a phytoalexin that links environmental perception, defense responses, and phenylpropanoid resource allocation. Stilbene accumulation may be controlle...

RuBP availability contributes to the regulation of RUBISCO activity in Synechocystis
RIBULOSE-1,5-BISPHOSPHATE CARBOXYLASE/OXYGENASE (RUBISCO) and the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle assimilate most of the inorganic carbon on earth. Conserved CP12 proteins control diurnal C-assimilation of the CBB cycle. Their function...

LMBD2 interacts with components of the ECH/YIP complex and contributes to post-Golgi trafficking in Arabidopsis
The plant cell wall, composed primarily of polysaccharides, is essential for normal plant growth and development. Many of these polysaccharides are synthesized within and subsequently secreted via the endomembrane system. Mutations in ge...

Conserved DEAD-box RNA helicases regulate RNA silencing and plant immunity and are targeted by a powdery mildew effector
RNA silencing is a conserved defense mechanism that protects plants against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. Although diverse pathogens have evolved effectors that suppress host RNA silencing, whether powdery mildew fungi exploit...

Spatial and Single-Nucleus Transcriptomic Profiling Reveal Polarity and Intracellular Responses to Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Organelle retrograde signaling studies have exclusively relied on bulk tissues, obscuring cell-type specificity, spatial organization, and heterogeneity within cell types. Here, we use single-nucleus and spatial RNA sequencing to define ...

A cellular view of seed development and germination
Seeds are fundamental to global food security, yet their encapsulated structure, dense storage compounds, and spatial heterogeneity have created a “hidden box” problem, often restricting research to bulk and tissue approaches that mask c...
