Hayes and Leong et al. show that warm temperature and mild water stress synergistically enhance root elongation in Arabidopsis. The response is mediated by SnRK2.2/2.3 and COP1 through regulation of H...

Soil salinity induces osmotic stress and ion toxicity in plants, detrimentally affecting their growth. Potato (Solanum tuberosum) suffers yield reduct…

Gene duplication and subsequent paralogue diversification are major obstacles to genotype-to-phenotype predictability.

Plants grow complex root systems to extract unevenly distributed resources from soils. Spatial differences in soil moisture are perceived by root tips, leading to the patterning of new root branches t...

Soil salinity presents a dual challenge for plants, involving both osmotic and ionic stress. In response, plants deploy distinct yet interconnected...

Lou et al. engineered source-sink relations to improve carbon partitioning by targeted insertion of heat-shock cis-elements into cell-wall-invertase genes using prime editing. This delivers climate-smart crops with higher yields under normal conditions and stable yields under heat stress in tomato and rice.

Root depth is important for plant drought tolerance and represents an avenue for carbon sequestration in deep soil layers thus helping mitigate the effects of climate change. ClearDepth offers a simp....

Abstract. The current climate crisis has global impacts and will affect the physiology of plants across every continent. Ensuring resilience of our agricul

A receptor-like kinase controls cell wall biosynthesis under salt stress by regulating microtubule organization.

In tomato roots, the exodermis forms a genetically distinct polar lignin cap (PLC) barrier from the Casparian strip. SlSCZ and SlEXO1 repress PLC deposition in inner layers. The PLC cannot fully compe...

An antibody-based approach to enrich ubiquitinated peptides reveals Arabidopsis root, seedling, and leaf ubiquitinomes.

Accurately determining the elemental composition of plant tissues is essential for physiological studies on plant stress, including salinity tolerance. However, high-throughput routine analysis of lig...

Leaf senescence plays a critical role in a plant's overall reproductive success due to its involvement in nutrient remobilization and allocation. Howe…

The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded a research grant to researcher Kin Pan Chung. He receives the ERC Starting Grant for his research on the inheritance of cytoplasmic genomes. Chung trans...

Excess salt in the soil hinders the growth of tomato and potato plants. However, if you manage to create good, salt-tolerant varieties, the flavour can be surprisingly delicious.

The authors show that in the halophyte Salicornia the sodium transporter SOS1 localizes to the tonoplast, likely storing sodium in the vacuole. The intrinsically disordered protein SALTY, increases ye...

Salt induces ExAD-dependent arabinosylation of hydroxyproline residues in extensin to modify cell wall structure and the gravitropism response of roots.
