Nemec-Venza et al. show how mechanical signals, such as tissue tension, can activate gene expression in epidermal cells at the surface of Arabidopsis roots. The expression of the edge-specific growth ...

Using in situ cryo-electron tomography, researchers found a unique ‘arm’ domain on the small subunit of Chlamydomonas chlororibosomes. This discovery suggests that chlororibosome structure is more evo...

Characterization of periclinal and anticlinal cell divisions in dividing cambium stem cells (CSCs). (a) Scheme indicating periclinal and anticlinal cell divisions in CSCs in the Arabidopsis hypocotyl...

This study demonstrates that cryo nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (CryoNanoSIMS) enables direct multi-elemental imaging at subcellular resolution of macro- and micronutrients or trace elemen...

Peng et al. review mechanisms driving lamina expansion, including gene expression, auxin-mediated proliferation, and microtubule-directed growth, linking disrupted coordination to morphological defect...

Cysteine is a central metabolite in plant sulfur metabolism, with key roles in biosynthesis, redox regulation, and stress responses. While a mitochondrial cysteine degradation pathway has been describ...

The cyanobacterium A. marina shows how photosynthetically active radiation can be expanded into the far-red spectral region.

Cytokinesis is a key process in the development of multicellular organisms, through both formative and proliferative divisions. In land plants, successful cytokinesis requires precise targeting of Gol...

When building an organ, adjacent cells coordinate to form topologically stable junctions by integrating mechanosensitive signaling pathways. Positioni…
