The PLANT CYSTEINE OXIDASE (PCO) N-degron pathway contributes to oxygen sensing in plants. Here the authors identify HYPOXIA TRANSDUCER1 (HYT1) as a substrate of PCO and show it forms a coherent feed-...

Abstract. Flooding is among the most devastating abiotic stresses limiting rice productivity. Although SUB1A introgression conferred submergence tolerance

The invasive alien species Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb. exhibits extremely vigorous growth and regenerates clonally from stem fragments…

Abstract. A major strength of forward genetic screens is their unbiased nature: the plant reveals which genes underlie a physiological process. Yet this st

Submergence and flooding impose severe crop losses through hypoxic stress. The Membrane Attack Complex/Perforin (MACPF) superfamily proteins function …

COSR1 and COSR2 are identified as hypoosmotic-activated Ca2+-permeable channels in plants. They collectively mediate the second Ca2+ spike induced by hypoosmotic stress during submergence or post-drou...

VERNALIZATION2 (VRN2) is a flowering plant-specific subunit of the polycomb-repressive complex 2 (PRC2), a conserved eukaryotic holoenzyme that repres…

Oxygen availability underpins energy production in multicellular organisms, yet internal oxygen gradients arise in both plants and animals. Plants sense these variations via the plant cysteine oxidase...

Abstract. Recent discoveries have fundamentally transformed the paradigm of plant oxygen sensing. Hypoxia is no longer viewed solely because of environment

Here, the authors show that a WRKY36-ETP2-EIN2/WRKY22 module balances UVB and flood tolerance in Arabidopsis. They identify a promoter deletion in a Tibet accession that boosts UVB defense but reduces...

In this study, the first high-quality near telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome of the Hamamelidaceae family was assembled, and the flooding stress adaptation mechanism of Distylium chinense was prelimi...

Abstract. Extreme flooding driven by climate change demands strategies to enhance plant tolerance to low-oxygen stress. We investigated the ability of bioa

Waterlogging (WL) stress severely affects the growth and productivity of fruit crops. Cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) is recognized as a secondary messenger that initiates adaptive responses to environmental...

Most organisms, including plants, can encode stress memories that improve resilience to repeated environmental challenges. Flooding events expose plants to recurrent hypoxia, yet whether plants establ...

This review discusses how plants integrate both environmental and internal signals across space and time to anticipate, acclimate to, recover from, and rem

Rate limitation in translational elongation causes ribosomes to pause as they decode an open reading frame (ORF). The triggers and outcomes of these events are poorly understood in plants. Here, we si...

Leaf age-related developmental traits interact with stress signalling pathways to trigger distinct flood recovery mechanisms in Arabidopsis.

Ethylene receptors function as ER redox sensors. Redox-dependent disulfide bond dynamics modulate receptor stability and activity, thereby tuning ethylene signaling for environmental adaptation. ER redox sensing may represent an ancestral receptor function that predates substantial ethylene biosynthesis.
