Here, Schwarze et al. reveal how plant cells match protein quality control to changing rates of protein production through a functional link between TOR kinase signalling and NOT4 E3 ubiquitin ligases

Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is one of the most devastating viral pathogens affecting rice cultivation in Africa. The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4G isoform eIFiso4G1 plays a pivotal r...

Limagrain Vegetable Seeds is hiring a Research Manager in Trait – Pathology for a permanent position in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. This exciting R&D opportunity is ideal for PhD graduates in plant pathology who want to lead disease resistance research in tomato and pepper breeding.

This little memoir is not a review; the reader is directed to current authoritativeAgrobacterium reviews with genetic (23) or cell biology emphasis (24). L

Plants perceive neighboring vegetation through an enrichment of far-red light (shade) in the environment. These changes in light quality trigger molecular and physiological responses aimed at outgrowi...

Comment les plantes libèrent-elles le contenu des vésicules autophagiques une fois celles-ci arrivées dans la vacuole ?

TAM regulates the translation of meiotic cell cycle genes under heat stress to prevent premature meiotic exit and ensure ploidy consistency in the natural

RSV p2 binds Lsm1, disrupting Lsm1-Lsm4 association and impairing decapping-dependent mRNA decay in P-bodies, leading to the accumulation of unstable mRNAs and enhanced RSV infection.

In this Essay, the evolution of life is construed as a ribosomal takeover, whereby the ribosome evolved to consume most of the cell’s resources, while other cellular componentry ensured the…

Abstract. Ribosome-associated quality control (RaQC) pathways, including no-go decay (NGD) and non-stop decay (NSD), are essential for maintaining translat

Giant DNA viruses encode a cap-binding complex homologous to eIF4F, the defining translation-initiation complex of eukaryotes. The viral cap-binding complex is required for viral protein synthesis and...

Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) is a globally important tomato pathogen causing fruit quality losses. It comprises multiple genetic types and spreads via seed and mechanical contact. Lacking resistant cu....

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors sense pathogen molecules and oligomerize, initiating defense signaling. Some NLRs function poorly at elevated temperatures for unknown reasons. We show that temperature-sensitive NLRs retain ligand binding at elevated temperatures but are impaired in oligomerization. We identify key residues involved in temperature resilience. Structural modeling reveals stabilizing intramolecular interactions of the NB-ARC domain with surface residues of the adjacent leucine-rich repeat (LRR) that preserve receptor integrity and functionality under heat stress. These insights enable in silico classification of NLRs as temperature-sensitive or -tolerant and underpin design of temperature tolerant variants of temperature sensitive NLRs. These findings provide a mechanistic basis for temperature sensitivity in plant immune receptors and enable engineering of temperature-tolerant disease resistance in crops.

Gene mutations in nCBP combined with eIF4E1 or eIFiso4E reduced diverse virus accumulation, underscoring the potential of gene pyramiding in the eIF4E family for broad-spectrum virus resistance.

The genome of Arabidopsis thaliana consists of 10 chromosomes. By inducing CRISPR-Cas–mediated breaks at subcentromeric and subtelomeric sequences, we fused entire chromosome arms, obtaining two eight...

Directed evolution can rapidly generate genetic variants with new and enhanced properties, yet efficient platforms for performing such evolution directly in plant cells have been lacking. We developed...
