A mechanistic basis for how the hormone salicylic acid promotes transcriptional activation during plant immune responses is described.

Zinc is an essential micronutrient at low concentrations, yet it becomes toxic at slightly higher ones. This is exploited by plants as an effective defensive strategy. However, the molecular component...

Molecular evolution of AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) effector function.

Multicellular development is tightly coupled to the polarization of individual cells, which partitions polar proteins along the cell cortex and can control asymmetric cell division, anisotropic growth...

Molecular evolution of AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) effector function.

Post-transcriptional Gene Regulation in Plants | 5 - 7 OCTOBER 2026

The updated OrthoFinder v3 software boosts accuracy and scalability in phylogenetic orthology inference with massive and diverse datasets.

Three new synthetic algal culture media are described that have been used to cultivate ~12,000 diverse strains of (micro)algae, one culture medium for marine and brackish-water algae (ASP-MEL (Artific...

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Carella Group at the John Innes Centre, working on cutting-edge science in the field of Evo-MPMI (Evolutionary Molecular…

Abstract. Chloroplasts are semi-autonomous organelles essential for photosynthetic organisms. They derived from ancestral cyanobacteria through an endosymb
