Very cool! How do cytosolic ribosomes discriminate between ER and mitochondria targeted proteins? NAC recognizes mitochondrial targeting sequences! Very important since over 95% of the mitochondrial proteome is translated in the cytosol and then imported to mitochondria. Congrats!

As the world warms, plants in natural ecosystems and agricultural settings find ways to respond to the heat. In a new special issue of Science, researchers examine how heat affects plants at multiple scales, from the molecular level to the biosphere. scim.ag/44cSw3Z
Infrared imaging shows heat levels in sun-exposed leaves of Alstonia scholaris from the Australian Wet Tropics. As climate change increases temperatures and the severity of heat waves, both natural ecosystems and agricultural plants are increasingly affected by heat. Examining heat responses at cellular, genetic, physiological, and ecosystem scales, this special issue explores how plants sense and respond to high temperatures.
